Streamline your routine, declutter your dresser, and save money – look great on a budget with this collection of tips and tricks.
1 Find The Perfect Substitute
Don’t have everything you need to ace a new look? Hold off on your beauty shopping. Here are some tricks to lighten your shopping basket.
TINTED MOISTURISER: Mix a drop of serum with your favourite liquid foundation to create your own dewyfinish tinted moisturiser. For a more lustrous finish, mix a drop of facial oil with your foundation.
EYE PRIMER: Lightly dab on concealer on your upper eyelid to replace an eye primer before sweeping on eyeshadow. Alternatively, for colours that really pop, use a white eyeliner on your upper eyelid before laying on any eyeshadow.
LASH PRIMER: After your first coat of mascara, dust your lashes with some baby powder or translucent powder before applying a second coat. This will give you fuller lashes.
MATTE LIPSTICK: Don’t rush out to buy matte versions of your favourite shades. Try applying concealer onto your lips before applying lipstick, and mix the two together on your lip. This will mute your lipstick for a subtle matte finish.
BRUSH CLEANSER: A gentle drugstore facial wash can remove bacteria, makeup residue and oil from brushes.
BODY SCRUB: Use a washcloth to exfoliate your body.
