For some women and men, steps like shaving and wearing makeup are a big part of their daily routine. But what happens on those days when you realize you are all out a crucial product in your beauty routine? Before running to the store to buy a new razor or powder blush try these hacks for making your beauty products last longer.
Makeup is expensive, so when your favorite blush, setting powder, or eyeshadow palette shatters into small pieces itâs devastating. Donât freak out because the solution to this one big problem is to crush up the remaining powder pieces. The, add rubbing alcohol to the compact and mix it into the powder. Smooth the mixture and let it dry and it’s good as new.
Warm weather is here so itâs time to get those razors ready to shed yourself of that winter fur. If you so happen to leave your razor out and it begins to rust or dull donât throw it away, just soak it. After shaving, shake off the excess water and then soak it in a small bowl of baby oil until youâre ready to use it again. The oil will keep the razor fresh and sharp, plus it will prevent it from getting dull and/or rusting.
Run out of liquid highlighter? Don’t panic! Use a bit of lip balm as a highlighter. If youâre in a pinch and donât have highlighter on hand, you can apply a little bit of clear or slightly tinted lip balm to the high points of your cheeks, your brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. Itâll give you a dewy, glowing look! Just be sure to blend it well so it looks seamless.
Once your mascara is dried out it may seem like the end of the world. However, it doesnât have to be when you bring the item back to life with a bit of moisture. All you have to do is add a few drops of saline solution to the tube when you notice the mascara is getting a bit dry. The saline is safe for your eyes and you can use your mascara two or three times longer than usual.
