Caring for Your Necromancy Cosmetica Vegan & Cruelty-Free Products

Welcome to the magical world of Necromancy Cosmetica! As a proud owner of our vegan and cruelty-free beauty products, you're already embracing a more ethical and sustainable lifestyle. Now, let's dive into some best practices to keep your beloved bullet lipsticks, pressed eyeshadows, and pigments in tip-top shape, no matter the weather.

General Tips for All Products

Cleanliness is Key: Always wash your hands before applying any makeup to avoid transferring bacteria.
Storage: Keep your makeup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any melting or degradation of the products.

Bullet Lipsticks

Your Necromancy Cosmetica lipsticks come in stunning bamboo cases with interchangeable inserts. Here’s how to care for them:

Hot Climates:

Avoid Heat Exposure: Store your lipstick in a cool, dark place. Extreme heat can cause the product to melt, dry or become too soft or sticky, making it difficult to apply.
Humidity Control: Use silica gel packets in your storage area to absorb excess moisture, as humidity can affect the product's texture and longevity.

Cold Climates:

Room Temperature Storage: In colder climates, ensure your lipstick is stored at room temperature. Extremely cold environments can make the lipstick too hard to apply smoothly.
Warming Up: If your lipstick feels too hard, warm it up slightly by swatching it on your hand before application.

General Care:

Interchangeable Inserts: When switching out inserts, make sure your hands and the new insert are clean to avoid contamination.
Clean Regularly: Wipe the exterior of the bamboo case with a dry cloth to keep it looking pristine. Avoid using water as it can damage the bamboo.

Pressed Eyeshadows and Pigments

Our eyeshadows and pigments come in unique, book-like foldable packaging. Here’s how to keep them in perfect condition:

Hot Climates:

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store your eyeshadows and pigments in a cool, shaded area. Heat can cause the pigments to become crumbly.
Dehumidifiers: Use a small dehumidifier in your makeup storage area to control humidity levels, ensuring the powders stay dry and easy to apply.

Cold Climates:

Consistent Temperature: Maintain a consistent room temperature to prevent the powders from becoming too hard or brittle.
Prevent Condensation: When moving products from cold to warm environments, allow them to acclimate slowly to avoid condensation, which can cause the pigments to clump.

General Care:

Clean Brushes: Always use clean brushes to apply your eyeshadows and pigments to prevent contamination.
Regular Inspection: Check your products regularly for any signs of mold or unusual smells, especially in humid conditions. If you notice anything off, it’s time to replace them.
Pressing Down: If a pressed eyeshadow becomes loose or crumbly, you can gently press it back into place using a clean, flat surface like a coin wrapped in a tissue.

Why You Should Avoid Storing Makeup in the Bathroom

The bathroom might seem like a convenient place to store your makeup, but it's actually one of the worst spots due to humidity and temperature fluctuations:

Humidity: Bathrooms are typically humid environments, especially after showers. This excess moisture can break down the formulations of your products, leading to shorter shelf life and potential bacterial growth.
Temperature Changes: Frequent temperature changes in the bathroom, from hot showers to cooler periods, can cause your makeup to expand and contract. This can lead to changes in texture and effectiveness, and in some cases, the product can separate or spoil.
Alternative Storage Solutions: Instead of the bathroom, consider storing your makeup in a cool, dry place like a bedroom vanity, a dedicated makeup drawer, or even a small, organized box with silica gel packets to keep humidity at bay.

Humidity: The Silent Enemy

Humidity can be a significant issue, especially for those in tropical or coastal regions. Here are some additional tips:

Silica Gel Packs: Place silica gel packs in your makeup storage areas to absorb moisture.
Airtight Containers: Store your products in airtight containers to protect them from humidity.
Frequent Checks: Regularly check your products for any changes in texture or appearance and replace them if necessary.

Storing your makeup in a hot, dry place is not ideal, as extreme heat can affect the quality and longevity of the products. Here's why:

Effects of Hot, Dry Storage

1. Lipsticks:

Melting & Drying: Even in a dry environment, high temperatures can cause lipsticks to melt or become too soft or sticky, making them difficult to apply and potentially altering their texture and performance.
Ingredient Breakdown: Prolonged exposure to heat can cause the natural oils and waxes in the lipsticks to separate, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan.

2. Eyeshadows and Pigments:

Crumbly Texture: High heat can cause pressed eyeshadows to become crumbly and loose, making them harder to use and reducing their pigmentation.
Color Changes: Some pigments can change color when exposed to high temperatures, leading to inconsistent application and performance.

Ideal Storage Conditions

To ensure your Necromancy Cosmetica products stay in perfect condition, it's best to store them in a cool, dry place. Here are some tips:

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store your products away from windows and direct sunlight to prevent heat damage.
Use Storage Aids: Consider using silica gel packets to control humidity and keep your makeup in airtight containers to protect against environmental factors.

Conclusion

By following these tips, you can ensure your Necromancy Cosmetica products stay fresh and effective throughout their lifespan. Remember, taking care of your makeup not only prolongs its usability but also ensures that you’re applying the best and safest products to your skin.
