If you’re passionate about experimenting with makeup, chances are you have more beauty products than you actually need. There comes a time when even the most passionate makeup enthusiasts must declutter their collection, and our useful tips will help you scale things down.

Expired Products

The first thing you should do when decluttering your makeup collection is check expiration dates and throw away the products that are long past their prime.

Unused Products

If you still have any unused products that haven’t expired yet, consider if you’ll use them soon. In case they’ll just keep gathering dust, try donating them or giving them to your friends or family.

Categorize Products

Consider categorizing products, from foundations and bronzers to lipsticks and eyeshadows. This will give you a better overview of your makeup collection, helping you eliminate duplicates that you don’t need.

Frequent Usage

Frequency of usage is another key factor worth considering when decluttering your makeup collection. If you have tons of products you’re no longer using because they don’t suit your style, skin tone, or preferences, they’re best left behind.

Shopping Habits

Once you scale down your makeup collection, it’s also important to avoid future clutter by not making impulse purchases and buying products you already have.
