Debra, a copywriter, knows what it’s like to have makeup madness on your hands. “It gets pretty messy after getting ready for a big night out, but as long as I put all the mascaras back into the container together, the brushes together, and the lip glosses together, it tends to be neat,” she says. And beware: with this much makeup, it’s easy to hoard products. “I make sure to toss out what I know I’ll never use again, like that half fluorescent, half forest green shimmery eyeshadow,” she says. Or give it to a sister or friend who won’t mind getting your cooties.
