How durable are foundation bottles?
It’s crazy how many makeup products come in glass bottles these days, especially foundations. They look sleek, but one slip and it’s a total mess. I’ve read stories of people having their bottles crack in the makeup bag or leak in luggage, and it makes me wonder if some brands prioritize aesthetics over practicality.
I’ve recently started experimenting with liquid foundations, and I’m worried about durability. I travel occasionally and my bag isn’t exactly gentle, so the last thing I want is to open it and find my foundation spilled all over my clothes.
For those of you who use liquid foundation regularly, how sturdy are the bottles in real life? Do certain types hold up better for travel or daily use? Are pump bottles safer than regular screw caps? Any tips for keeping them intact would be super helpful.
