Disposal
There are MANY ways to safely dispose of your empty makeup without harming the environment, along with many ways to make it last longer to lessen the amount being thrown away annually.
The makeup is also usually packaged inside more containers such as cardboard paper, and there are also many other materials used to hold and operate the makeup.
Usually the caps are recyclable, so caps and any other plastic part of an empty container should be recycled rather than thrown away normally (bottles and packaging should tell whether they can be recycled or not).
DO NOT rinse out any remaining makeup, it only adds to the water supply. Rather wipe it off and throw the tissue away.
