Making a versatile use out of products..
•Lipsticks for blush and pink eyeshadows as blush
•Champagne/light/shimmery shades from eyeshadow palettes as a highlight
•Using powder blush/contour/bronzer as eyeshadow
•Putting a bit of foundation on my eyes as a nice base and on lips so that the lippie applied later looks even.
•I like to take an clean eyelash comb and run it through some mascara, then comb my lashes with it. Clump free and nice and long!
•A drop of Argan/Jojoba oil mixed in with my foundation or bb creme.. looks awesome! I know girls do ( or say they do ) moisturizer mixed with foundation to thin it out but that has never worked for me.. just makes it ball up and look disgusting.
•Sometimes I'll mix my primer with my foundation, and add a bit of translucent setting powder onto my eyemake up.

•I use conditioner to shave (shaving gel/creme/whatever never works for me... I always end up with a million cuts. )



Although may I ask why is everyone posting following?

Conditioner to shave when I don't have shaving cream - clean toothbrush as a spooly - baby powder as dry shampoo.

If you ever have a red zit or any blemish that's a bright red color, putting eye drops on it reduces the redness a BUNCH 😊 😁

@Aru-how do you get glitter polish off with foil? Glitter nail polish is such a pain to remove.

Jul 29, 2014

Bry R.

Well I know there is the foil method, soak a cotton ball/pad in remover, lay it on the nail and cover finger in foil. It soaks the glitter off prettt much of that's what she means.

Here are a few I do,Small fan brush to apply mascara helps apply more color to the lashes.Mixing medium to eye shadows to create liners or color to the lashes.Mixing medium to thin out foundation (Not fixing spray).illuminating Beauty balm (Not to be confused with BB cream) Illuminating balm add a drop to foundation to give a illuminating finish to the skin.Mac 130 brush could be used to blend out shadow with a quickness gives a seamless finish with no hassle.When applying cream blushes let it set and apply powder blush over for lasting results.Lip liners to add a kick to liner looks.Brow liners that are firmer out beats the waxy soft tips for a good subtle brow finish.Quick tip if ever your in doubt of where the light or shadow directly hits your face, go outside and take a picture of yourself and use that as a guide for structure application of highlight and contour but if you already have a natural glow where the sun highlights your skin there is no need to over power that with added extras.I use a baby rubber finger brush to exfoliate lips.Gel liners and cream liners are different but when you add a cream water proof liner over gel liner you'll have a concrete wall of lasting liner that won't budge. :-)
