If until now you thought lipstick was only meant to cover your lips, wrong! Now you’ll find out how to maximize your make-up. 

You don’t have to spend a fortune to get the most from your cosmetic products. Hairspray, body lotion and bronzer, they all have a multitude of uses. Just follow these simple tips and get the make-up bag staples working harder than ever!

Hairspray:

• Spray a fine mist over your face to keep your foundation in place
• Squirt hairspray onto the ends of a make-up brush and sweep over your parting to beat flyaway hairs
• If your shoes are too big, try spraying your feet with a light coating of hairspray, it will stop your feet from sliding around
• To avid static hair, spray some hairspray onto the hair brush then smooth over that section of hair.

Lip Balm:

• Restore ragged cuticles by massaging it into your nails
• Tame eyebrows by dabbing some on to keep them in place
• Seal split ends by smearing a tiny amount into the ends of your hair
• Relive razor burn by smoothing over affected areas
• Apply directly on dry elbows and knees to fix them fast
• Massage into cuticles before self tanning to stop them staining

Concealer:

• Use it to hide in-grown hairs on your legs or bikini line
• Prepare your eyelids with concealer before applying eye shadows
• Make your lipstick last longer by applying concealer first
• Use it to hide mosquito bites or bruises.

Body Lotion:

• Mix it with perfume so you’ll get a scented body cream
• Keep it in the fridge and use it as an instant soother
• For dry skin types you may use body lotion to moisture your complexion
• Run out of shower gel, use body lotion mixed with water.
