Learn to be economical by multi-tasking your makeup
Hello Girls,
Let's talk today about how to buy less and multi-task more.
There are certain tough times in a woman’s life where she is on tight budgets and a whole list of
priorities which forces her to choose between either looking her best or saving the extra cash. Beauty gadgets, makeup and skincare products are generally pretty pricey. For a woman to constantly maintain her glamour, it definitely comes with a huge cost. As a makeup artist myself, I am not very far away from this problem too. In fact, my problem is even bigger; since I apply makeup to around 10-15 women per week. I run out of products very quickly and most of the products I use are not sold where I live. These constraints have taught me to multi-mask my makeup products in a smart economical way without compromising the quality of my work.
Multi-tasking your makeup is the mere act of smartly using the same product for different purposes that will yield the same results otherwise. Not only will this habit save you on so much cash, but it will always make you look your best with the least resources available. Multi-tasking can be particularly useful for women who are constant travelers, busy mothers and fatigued working women as well.
Here are the Pro-Tips of Makeup Multi-tasking that I personally do:
Eyeshadow as Blush:If you have a soft sparkly pink eyeshadow, why not use it as a blush too? Applying soft pinks on fair complexions enhances a healthy and fresh glow.
Blush as Eyeshadow:If you have a golden peachy blush, wouldn’t this make the prettiest eyeshadow ever? With your finger or your eyeshadow brush dab some on your eyelids for an instant eye-opener effect.
Highlighter as Eyeshadow:If you have a shimmery highlighter, you can definitely use it on your eyelids and brow bone.
Eyeshadow as Highlighter:We all have that soft vanilla off- white eyeshadow color somewhere in our possession. With a fluffy brush, use this color to highlight the center of your face for a glowing effect.
Lipsticks as Cream Blushes:Have you ever seen your mum or granny dot the apple of the cheeks with lipstick? Well, this was a very popular method back in the 70’ and 80’s. It obviously still works today too!
Brown Eyeshadows as Eyebrow fillers/Contour:If you have a matte brown eyeshadow that you use for Smokey eyes, you can definitely use it to fill in your eyebrows with a thin slanted brush or even use it to contour your nose and cheek bones with a contour brush.
Black Eyeshadow as Eyeliner:Get your darkest and deepest black eyeshadow and draw your winged liner on the upper lash line with a thin angled brush. This gives the same exact effect as liquid eyeliner, if not better!
Concealer as Lip Primer:Why invest in a lip primer when a concealer can do the trick for you? Before applying your lipstick, just lightly dab your lips with a drop of concealer and make your lipstick very long-lasting.
Foundation as Concealer:If you are one of the lucky girls with no dark circles, use your foundation under your eyes. There is no need to buy a concealer at all.
BB Cream as All-in-1:Why buy a moisturizer, foundation and SPF when you can so easily buy a bottle of BB Cream? BB creams are tinted moisturizers that have SPF as well. It is a product to cut on your beauty routine in half in terms of money and time.
Lip and Cheek Stains:Lip/cheek stains is basically a pink/reddish liquid that you apply on your lips and cheeks for a quick natural flush of color. It gives a very natural look and is perfect for girls with perfect skin who barely need any makeup on.
Being an economical woman does not necessarily mean compromising on your look. You can still manage to look your best with the limited resources that you have; while saving the extra cash you need on tight days.
