Apparently, this is where you should keep your foundation

Wait, what?!

When it comes to storing make-up, I tend to keep the products used on a day to day basis in my make-up bag.

That’s usually the norm but according to cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson, foundation should actually be stored in the fridge.

It sounds a bit bonkers but the reasoning behind it is that when liquid foundation is refrigerated, it has a much longer shelf life.

Speaking to Refinery 29, Ni’Kita said that when testing a refrigerated foundation against a non-refrigerated one, she found that the one kept in the fridge was “slower to react”.

This basically means that it lasted much longer.

However, if you’re not a morning person and going to the fridge for make-up is too much effort, storing in a make-up bag in a drawer is the next best thing.

Keeping it out of sunlight and in a dark place stops it from “breaking down prematurely” and making sure the container is sealed is essential.
