Where’s The Lip Gloss?
Thin and medium lips need some filling and pouting, which is why we use a little lip gloss for the shine to come through and to enhance the look as well. You can now use the remaining end of the lipstick and turn it into chic lip gloss to use. Mash the remains and with a teaspoon of Vaseline mixed into it, create your own glossy touch. Why spend money on a separate lip gloss, when your own lipstick can do wonders in bringing what you want for your lips!

Dress Up Your Eyelids
If you have lost your eyeshadow palette or are running low on one of the shades and have a party or an important meeting to attend, you can make your eyelids drool worthy with lipstick. Lipstick can be used as an eyewash to the lids and also to color the lids with. Use a nude lipstick to set as primer for the lids and then a colored one to fill and shade the lids.
