Repurposed Makeup

Eye shadow, bronzer, eyeliner, lip gloss, cheek tint? They're all just labels! Labels that limit what your expectation of the product. You assume lip gloss is only good for glossing your lips & eye shadow for shadowing you eye! Wrong! These labels limit your expectation of the product but not the many functions of the product.

Blush → Eyeshadow: certain shades of blush can make appealing eyeshadow colors, usually they tend to be on the pink side, you can apply blush the same way you would regular eyeshadow

Mascara → Eye Liner: if you're ever in a bind & find yourself without eyeliner, you can use a gel eyeliner brush dipped in mascara as a makeshift eyeliner 

Lip Gloss → Cheek Tint: warm up your cheeks by squeezing a small dot of lip gloss onto the tip of your finger & rubbing it into the apples of your cheeks

Bronzer → Brow Powder: use bronzer precisely how you would regular brow powder, but be sure if you do this to NOT use the bronzer all over your face or you brows will just blend in

That's not all!

Concealer → Eye Primer: it's the same color as your skin & is used to hold powder on your face anyway, why not on your eyes too?

Eyeshadow → Highlighter: use a light shadow (preferably with a little shine) and use a contouring brush to sweep the eyeshadow slightly above where you apply blush 

Lip Balm → Cheek Highlight: rubbing clear lip balm on the apples of your cheek with reflect light and make for a quick highlight

There are so many uses for each type of makeup! Don't let labels tell you the limit to their use!
