MYSTICAL MAKE UP AND BEAUTY

Let’s face it, buying makeup can get expensive. And the only thing worse than the expense is realizing that you really don’t use certain products very often. With that in mind, Casey Casterline, co-founder of eDivv.com, a popular beauty sample swapping site, offers up some ways to get the most out of the makeup in your daily regimen.
“I live in a small New York City apartment, if I didn't come up with creative ways to use the products, I wouldn't have any place to sleep,” says Casterline. The following tips are great ways to use products in a unique fashion or have them pull double-duty.




Mascara Wands

• Use as eyebrow brushes or spritz a little hairspray on them and use to tame pesky flyaways. 

Foundation

• If it doesn’t match your skin tone it may serve perfectly as an eye shadow primer. 

Lip Sticks

• Have your lipstick pull double-duty as a blush if you realize you’ve run out at the last minute. 

Powder Eye Liner

• Add a little water to powder eye liner to turn it into a liquid for a different look. 

Eye Shadow

• Shadows that match your roots can easily be brushed in to hide them if your hair has grown out a bit. 
• Apply a dark shadow to your eyelashes prior to your mascara to give them a boost in volume. 

Plain Lip Balm
Apply around the inside of the eye with your finger to act as a highlighter.
