1. Running low on mascara? Add a couple eye drops to the tube and celebrate because you have at least another couple days worth of product!
2. Ever been curious as to when your makeup expires? Most makeup brands have a little picture on the back of their products that looks like a container with a number in it (usually 12 or 24, I've noticed). That's how many months until that product expires. So, whenever you buy a new product if you write in sharpie the date you purchased it, you'll know whether or not that makeup item is still good to use!
3. Ran out of eyeshadow primer? Use concealer until you can buy some more primer. I do this quite often and find it works rather well!
4. Forget to bring setting spray somewhere but have hairspray handy? Spray hair spray in the air and tilt your head back, it will set your makeup for the night when you're shorthanded.
5. Does your eyeliner fade when you apply it to your lower water line? Pat the same color eye shadow (as whatever color liner you're using) over top of your eye liner with a small brush to set it for longer.
6. Looking for a deeper eyeshadow pigmentation? Wet your eye shadow brush just slightly, and apply the shadow for a richer look.
7. Out of makeup brush cleaner? Put a dab of dish soap and olive oil on a plate and swirl your brush around, then rinse.
8. Out of shaving cream? Use conditioner! Makes your legs very soft as well. I actually use conditioner over buying shaving cream. Much cheaper and gets the job done!
9. Chapped lips? Combine a dime size amount of olive oil with a pinch of sugar and rub all over your lips. It takes the dead skin off and makes them very soft! Remember to moisturize with your favorite chap stick afterwards.
10. Don't want to wait 20 minutes for your nail polish to fully dry without smudging? Run cold water on the back of your hand so it runs down to your nails, it will set and harden the polish.
