The Unusual Methods to Multi-Task your Eyeshadows


Who said eyeshadows are only used on the eyelids? Makeup rules exist so we can break them.
Here are some of the smartest and unusual ways to multi-task your eyeshadows:

1) Turn Old Eyeshadows into New Nail Polishes:
Of course, you have many old and unused eyeshadows that are either out of style or crashed into pieces. Get some transparent nail polish and mix it with any eyeshadow pigment of any colour and create new outstanding colours that aren't on the market yet.

2) White, Off-white and Gold Eyeshadows as Highlighters:
Don't carry around too many makeup products. White, Off-white and Gold eyeshadows can be used as highlighters on your cheekbones, cheeks and on your upper lip for a fuller pout.

3) Black Eyeshadows as Eyeliners:
Black eyeshadows can be used as eyeliners using a thin slanted makeup brush (MAC 266).

4) Black Eyeshadows as Gel Liners:
Turn your black eyeshadows into gel liner by applying some vaseline onto your slanted brush then swipe a bit of black eyeshadow on it. Voila, gel liner it is!

5) Brown, and Taupe Matte Eyeshadows for Eyebrows:
Use a matte brown or taupe eyeshadow to fill in the empty spaces on your eyebrows. After all, eyebrow kits are actually eyeshadows.

6) Ombre Lipstick:
Create an Ombre lipstick by applying a light eyeshadow in the centre of your dark lipsticks.

7) Eyeshadows as a Scalp Camouflage:
Use a matte black or brown eyeshadows to camouflage empty areas on your scalp. Remember, they have to be matte. You don't want your scalp to be glittery.

8) Brown Eyeshadow for Contouring:
Use a matte brown eyeshadow to contour your nose to make it look slimmer and smaller.

9) Tear Duct Highlight:
If you look so sleepy, highlighting your tear duct will instantly make you look more awake.

10) Brow Bone Lift:
With a white or pearl eyeshadow, highlight your brow bone to give your eyebrows a clean, neat and lifted look.

11) Fuchsia and Red eyeshadows:
Fuchsia and red eyeshadows are only allowed to be used on a Moulin Rouge film set. If you have some that are coming with a bigger set, use them as blushes on your cheeks.

12) Burgundy Eyeshadows as Lip Tints:
If you have a burgundy eyeshadow, use it as a lip tint.

13) Glitter Eyeshadow Pigments (Powder-Form eyeshadow)
Apply your favourite nail polish colour and while it is still wet apply some glitter pigments on the tips to give it an edgy look.
