Emergency Substitutions for Make-up

I try to stay stocked up on my make-up but sometimes you just forget to buy something and the next thing you know you're putting on the finishing touches just to discover you have no eye liner! Worry not, my friends, I have some solutions.

Eye Liner - Use mascara with a liner brush or very thin angle brush.

Mascara - Put a few drops of saline solution in the tube to rehydrate any dried up bits on the sides and bottom.

Lip Stick/Gloss - Use eye shadow for the pigment and finish with chap stick, Vaseline, or clear gloss for shine. For a nude lip use a little bit of foundation ad finish with clear gloss.

Blush - Use eye shadow in a similar shade to your blush. If you don't have any pink hues, use lipstick.

Eye Brow Filler - In an absolute emergency that you don't have any eye shadow to substitute, use mascara. Be VERY LIGHT with the strokes or you will end up quite scary.

I hope these quick tips help next time you run out of something last minute. Of course, you can prevent this by always stocking up. ;-)
