You probably enjoy wearing makeup, but you might not like the variety of products required to complete a full-face of makeup. We’re here to simplify your life. You can use one product in so many different ways and save on all that extra luggage. Here are some clever tricks to multipurpose makeup products. Fewer products = better return!
Lipstick
This age-old hack has made a comeback. This product is perfect for an emergency zoom call or to have a quick meal with a friend. Use your favorite shade as a lipstick, blush or even eye shadow. You will get a monochrome look. Take some lipstick and apply it with your fingertip to the apples of your cheeks. Blend it quickly to avoid it setting. Follow the same steps to create eye shadow using a small amount of lipstick. You’re done in less than two minutes!
Highlighter
We love glowing skin, it’s no secret! We never cut corners on highlighter. Use your highlighter to create a stunning eye shadow. Take a little on your fingertip, and swipe it across your lids. Blend it quickly before the product sets. Mix a little highlighter with your foundation or BB Cream for a glowing glow.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner is another makeup item that we all carry in our bags. Eyeliner works for everyone, whether you’re a makeup novice or pro. This tip is great if you use microliners. You can use your eyeliner to fill in any patches and define your eyebrows. For the best results, use a light touch!
Concealer
This essential makeup can do so much more than hide pimples and blemishes. Concealer is a great eyeshadow primer because it has a strong hold on the skin. Apply a little concealer to your eyelids, then follow up with your favorite eyeshadow. The colours will appear more vibrant and stay longer. Easy peasy – no separate primer required! You can also create amazing cut-crease looks! Apply a little concealer to your eyebrows to enhance their appearance!
Lip Balm
Want to make a statement on a tight budget? You’re in good hands! Use your lip balm to create a glossy, sleek finish on your lids. You can use a tinted or plain lip balm, whatever you prefer. You can also do this over waterproof eyeshadow for some extra glam!
Setting Spray
Have brows that won’t stay put? You’re in luck! You don’t need to spend a fortune on brow gels. Use a clean spoolie to spray some setting spray, then gently comb your eyebrows. It will hold them in place all day!
Eyeshadow
All of us have a favorite eye shadow palette. What if this palette could be used as three different makeup products at once? We’re not joking! If you’re in a hurry, choose a color that is similar to your eyebrows. Use it to fill in any gaps in your brows. Setting spray will help you set it. Use a darker or brighter shade to line your eyes. Spray some setting spray on your eye shadow brush, then dip it into the eye shadow. Use it like regular eyeliner to add a little fun without spending a fortune!
Contour
This trick is perfect for you if you’ve found the perfect contour shade. You can use your contour shade as eyeshadow. This will enhance your natural eye shape, without appearing overdone. Blend the eyeshadow with a soft, fluffy brush to avoid harsh lines.
