● Instead of buying blush, use a dab of lipstick you already have.
● When you're running low on lip gloss, place the closed lip gloss stick in a mug of warm water and let it sit for 10 mins. The heat will melt any gloss on the sides of the container and you'll have more to use.
● If your eyeliner pencil is too soft and crumbly, put the pencil in the freezer for 15 mins before applying.
● Create a new lipstick shade by cutting off pieces of two old sticks and melt together in the microwave. Then apply with a brush.

● Pick up Napkins from Starbucks and use them as blotting sheets.
● Hold a credit card against your lashes to get the most out of your mascara.
