5 Makeup Mixology Tips

Don't you just hate it when you have run out of a product and you don't have time to run to the store to pick up a new one, especially when you don't have time to? Yet, you may not even realize you may actually have those products laying around the house you can use instead.

Here are a few tips you can do at home. Try these makeup mixology tips.

1. Liquid Eyeliner

Ingredients:
1 pencil eyeliner
1 lighter
Directions:
Light your lighter and place your pencil eyeliner into the flame for a quick second. If you keep it the fire for too long it could melt. Once you have done this, apply your eyeliner as you normally would.


2. Tinted Moisturizer

Ingredients:
Body Lotion
Foundation (a shade darker than your complexion)
Sunscreen
Directions:
Mix 1/3 of body lotion, foundation and sunscreen. It must be mixed evenly for it to be a tinted moisturizer. Once mixed, apply it on your face and/or body.


3. Creating Lip Gloss


Ingredients:
1 Eyeshadow (colour of your choice)
1 Clear Lip Gloss (or any colour you prefer)
1 Eyeshadow Brush
Directions:
Take your lip gloss and squeeze out a small amount, preferably a dime size on the back of your hand or in a container if you plan on it using it later. Take your eyeshadow with an eyeshadow brush and place it into the lip gloss. Mix well and viola! Your new and improved lip gloss!

4. Creating Your Own Shade of Nail Polish


Ingredients:
1 Clear Nail Polish (or any colour you desire)
1 Nail Polish of a different hue
1 Eyeshadow Brush
Directions:
Mix the two colours together. Place in a container if you want to reuse.


5. Eyebrow Gel

Ingredients:
1 Clear Mascara
Directions: 
If you ever run out of an eyebrow gel, you can always use a clear mascara. It's a great tool to keep the brows in place. Apply the mascara over your brows once you have completed filling in your brows with an eyebrow powder or pencil.
