Most manufacturers pack the base of the tube with extra lipstick to make the twisting mechanism work—but you can’t get to that extra product because it’s below the metal lip. When you toss your old lipstick, you’re also throwing away enough makeup for a couple of dozen more applications. Use a lipstick brush and you’ll get 25 to 30 percent more makeup out of every tube. That’s like getting a free lipstick for every three you buy, to say nothing of reducing waste headed to the landfill. It’s enough to make you smile!
