We only need a few makeup products to complete our look and yet, our kits are well-stocked with numerous cosmetics of different brands, shades and application. Some of us are even guilty of hoarding that we have a wide cosmetic collection similar to a top wedding makeup artist in the Philippines. Meanwhile, others have their old or unwanted beauty products piled up in their drawers and can’t bear to discard them. Thus, we’re sharing with you alternate uses for your several cast-off beauty products to prevent them from turning into waste. Put these hacks to the test today!
Liquid Foundation
Did someone give you the wrong shade of foundation? Although that won’t work best on your face, it can be beneficial to your body! All you have to do is mix your liquid foundation with your favorite lotion. Apply the solution on your bruises and scars to get full coverage and even your skin color for a flawless finish. You can also use it as body makeup or tanning lotion. Yes, no need to bask in the sun and risk getting burns to achieve that perfectly golden tan!
Mascara
If you have an urgent meeting or a date and you can’t find the time to book a color appointment to your favorite hair salon, your mascara will do. Swipe mascara to subtly cover gray, dark or light roots. Mascara offers a quick touch-up to your roots and eliminates the trace of hair dye’s lack of longevity. It gives the illusion of color and volume. Plus, in case you have mascara with a shade other than black, you can also use it to do temporary highlights. Truly, a quick fix!
Lip Balm
Lip balms are not only good for moisturizing the lips but for taming your brows, too! According to wedding makeup artists in the Philippines, they have the right consistency and transparency to act as a brow gel. It can arrange one’s brows and hold them in place for much better shaping and shading process. Practice this hack by rubbing a spoolie brush to your balm then swipe it on your eyebrows. Brush them the way you want to and the outcome will be dreamy & wispy brows.
Setting Powder
The natural oil that your scalp gives off makes your hair a little shiny. But when you have an excessively oily scalp, your hair would appear sticky and thin. Fortunately, you can use your setting powder to act as a dry shampoo to the rescue! Use your brush to dust loose translucent powder on your crowning glory. Doing so will soak up excess oil on your hair roots and give a cleaner finish. However, refrain from using a setting powder with glitters because these would look like dandruff on your hair.
Eyeshadow
Got a broad palette of eyeshadow yet you’re only using 5 out of its 21 shades? Why don’t you turn them into cutesy nail polish colors? Crush your unused eyeshadow until it reaches a fine, powdery consistency. Mix it with clear nail polish and create a unique solution. It’s a great alternative use to otherwise overly bright or dramatic colors that you don’t prefer on your face but would love to see on your hands!
These hacks are approved by professional wedding makeup artists in the Philippines. Try them on today to declutter your drawer and give new purpose to your unused cosmetics! Stay chic, lovely!
