How to use makeup the wrong way that looks so right!
Did you know that you DON'T have to use a lipstick on your lips just because its a lipstick? Or mascara on your eyes just because it's for your eye lashes?
Here are a few tips and tricks to use makeup differently and make it look amazing and right.

#1.Lipstick.
If you happen to need a touch up for blush here is an easy trick...
-Take a brush (or your warmed up finger tips) and using your choice lip stick (peaches, natural, pinks, browns lip stick would be an easy choice) run it across your brush (or fingers)and just apply it on your cheeks like you would your regular cream or powder blush. That's it! you could set it with a bit of translucent powder or your pressed powder and you should be set to go!
#2. Concealer
Ever ran out of your favorite primer ? Quick fix!
Use a concealer as a primer. Simple as that. If you'd like you could even mix one part moisturizer and two parts concealer and make your own primer potion!
#3.Brown Eye Shadows.
Ran out of contour powder or bronzer?
Use a bit of brown eye shadow. For this you will need two things,
1) an eyeshadow (preferably only one or two shades lighter than your own skin tone)
2) a buffer or powder brush.
-Take some of your eyeshadow on the tip of your finger.
-Make the fishy face and pat little dabs across the area you need to contour (don't worry if it looks crazy)
-Make sure its a pretty decent straight line, not perfect just decent.
-Now take a buffer brush (blending brush, anything you have on hand) and buff/blend really well across that line you made.
-You've now contour your face.
Other little FIYs about using makeup differently:
#4.Bronzers,blushes, lipsticks could be used as eyeshadow (lips stick being a cream like eye shadow)
#5.Eyeshadow can be used as eye liner. If used wet it increases the the intensity of the color.
#6.Brown mascaras could be used to to brush your brow hairs and fill them in.
#7.Mascara could also be used as an eye liner when used with a brush.
#8.Brushes don't just have one purpose so used them as you think appropriate.
And remember if you buy products that say "DO NOT use around eye area" or anything along those lines they are probably not any good for anything in your skin anyways and you should be extremely careful.
Good luck and have tons of fun experimenting with your makeup!
