girl, i'm going to hold your hand while i say this. That sponge in your makeup bag that you've had since middle school? It's expired. I actually just replaced my Real Techniques Miracle Sponge so I can get that seamless makeup finish. Because I know you did not spend a whole bunch of money on your skincare routine just to use the same crusty makeup sponge for months. So let me give you some big sister makeup hygiene tips that no one is telling you. And while we're on the point of dirty makeup sponges, you should be swapping out your makeup sponge monthly because your makeup sponge does have an expiration date. And if you're going to replace it, I really do recommend the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge because it gives me that really good seamless finish without spending a ton. I use the flat edge to apply and cover, and then the rounded sides to blend and blur, and the precision tip to conceal and perfect. I also like using it damp for that natural dewy finish. And I have to say this is the one beauty hygiene habit that's actually easy to keep up with. And we can keep her protected in her little case. And on top of that, you need to start washing your makeup brushes. I used to never do this until I started randomly breaking out, seemingly out of nowhere, and I realized it was definitely from my dirty makeup brushes touching my face. The final tip that I have is to not share your makeup with anybody. I don't care if it's your best friend, your sister, if it's going directly on that beautiful face, we're keeping those tools to ourselves. So take this as your sign to check your makeup bag, and if your sponge has been through more than you have this year, girl, it's time to swap it. Okay, love you, bye.
