Here's a new way to recycle makeup items that are thiiisss close
to getting tossed.
Blush Sticks: too dark? don't stay on? don't stain? Don't
toss them...
If it's a bronzer stick, use on shoulders or legs to add contour,
add color and depth. If it's a burgundy stain and it's not working
for you, use instead as a really big lipstick. It does work.
Crumbled eyeshadow:
Put in a little tin or plastic container and mix in a dab of your
favorite lip-gloss. Mix together for a cool lip-gloss (if the
color works) or a glossy eyeshadow/highlight.
Bronzer Tint:
Itching to use that bronzer stain after summer? Use instead as
'eyeshadow'. Apply a light shimmer eyeshadow to highlight the bone
and eyelid, and apply your bronzer in the crease with a fingertip
or a small eyeshadow brush...it's a great new contoured look!
The wrong shade foundation / concealer:
A hot look you're seeing on celebrities is the faded into the skin
lip color. (I.E. Have you checked out Jennifer Lopez's lips
lately?) Have a too light foundation or concealer that's ready to
go? Don't. Use it on lips with a glossy clear gloss on
top.....viola. A brand new look.
Blush stains:
Tired of staining your fingertips? Use a makeup sponge to apply
and blend. Also use to stain lips under your favorite lipstick/lip
gloss. You'll find the color lasts a lot longer.
Shimmering gold/silver eye shadows:
They looked great over the holidays...now? A bit too much. Instead
of tossing them, try this new evening look. Apply a brown shadow
over the eyelid and then with a large eyeshadow brush, apply a
light dusting of the silver/gold over it. You should get a soft
shimmer/see through effect. Try it also over a bright colored
eyeshadow like blue or green. Looks really pretty!
