What can you do with makeup that you don't want or can't use anymore! For example, I have some MAC Studio Fix Powder in C2 and a MSF in Medium and I can't use them anymore cause they're too dark for me and I don't plan on tanning anymore (bad for my skin) so I don't want them to go to waste cause as all of you know, MAC is pretty pricy. Thanks in advance!

I hate when this happens. =[ I mean, I guess the best you can do is just wait till Summer since skin usually tans around that time & hope it matches a bit, but that's just wishful thinking.
Hopefully it doesn't just collect dust. >_<

Unfortunately I have no one to give it to and I doubt I will ever get that dark again :(. Has anyone ever traded on Makeup Alley? I'm not sure exactly how it works but I think people trade makeup?

Do you have a blog? If so, you should try a blog sale. I've bought from blog sales before! They're great.

You can use them as eyeshadows, bronzers/contour colors, or you can even make them into nail polishes. You could also try to swap or sell them, just make sure they're sanitized first. I vote for trying to find alternative uses for them, you might find you really like them in a new way.

Makeup that I no longer use or skincare products that are given to me and didnt work out I always donate to my local domestic violence shelter. Many of the women come in with just the clothes on their back and so its relief to them to have a little something to make them feel good....even if its just a gently used eye palette or a scented body wash.

I really like Shelley W's idea. Wow, what a great way to make you feel good and other women to feel good not only on the outside but the in as well! Thumbs up, girl!

@Mel O. I put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to sanitize pressed powders.

I would use it as a contour as well or give it to a family member who is the same colour.
