Lipsticks are not just for adding a pop of color to your pout. This versatile makeup product can be utilized in a myriad of ways to enhance your beauty routine. If you've ever wondered how to make the most of your favorite lipstick shades, read on. We've rounded up five ingenious ways to use lipstick beyond your lips.
1. Blush It Up
Did you know that your lipstick can double as a cream blush? Take your favorite lipstick shade and dab a small amount on the back of your hand. Then, using your fingers or a brush, gently blend the product onto the apples of your cheeks. Not only will this give you a natural flushed look, but it will also help you achieve a perfectly coordinated makeup look.
2. Customize Your Nail Polish
If you're tired of your nail polish collection and want to add a unique touch to your nails, grab your lipstick! Mix a small amount of lipstick with a clear or nude nail polish, and voila, you have a bespoke shade of nail polish that perfectly matches your lip color. Experiment with different lipstick shades to create an array of customized nail polish options.
3. Create A Tinted Lip Balm
Love the moisturizing effect of lip balms but miss the pigment? Combine your favorite lipstick shade with a bit of petroleum jelly or beeswax to create a personalized tinted lip balm. Melt the ingredients together using a double boiler or microwave, and pour the mixture into a clean container. Now you have a nourishing lip balm that not only hydrates your lips, but also offers a touch of color.
4. Define Your Brows
If you're in a pinch and find yourself without an eyebrow pencil or powder, your lipstick can come to the rescue. Opt for a brown shade that is close to your natural brow color. Use an angled brush to pick up a small amount of lipstick and gently fill in any sparse areas in your brows. Remember to use a light hand and blend well to achieve a natural look.
5. Get Creative with Eyeshadow
Lipstick can also serve as an excellent cream eyeshadow alternative. Apply a thin layer of your desired lipstick shade on your eyelids and blend it out with a brush or your fingertips. This technique can give your eyes a beautiful pop of color while also allowing you to match your lips and eyes seamlessly.
