Multi-purpose beauty product


Get rid of the excess weight from your vanity case. TOI tells you how to make a single beauty product multi-purpose

Product: Lip pencil
Actual use: To outline your lips before filling in the lipstick.
Alternative use: Make-up experts say that one can actually use a lip pencil on eyes and cheeks, besides using it to fill the lips. A brownish-pink lip pencil suffices to fill and outline the lips. It's long lasting and one can actually apply it on the eyelids and blend it further, to double up as an eyeshadow. You could also add a few dabs on the cheeks and blend it as a blusher.

Product: Kajal
Actual use: To outline the lower lids of the eyes in order to accentuate them and make them look bigger.
Alternative use: A good quality kohl pencil can also be used as an eye liner on the upper lids. Also, if you smudge it a little with your fingers, you get the hottest look of the season — smokey eyes!

Product: Coloured blusher
Actual use: Ideally meant for the cheeks, a blusher is a perfect tool to add some colour to your face.
Alternative use: A frosty blusher can also be used as an eyeshadow or as a highlighter. Go for a pink or peach blusher as it suits the Indian skin tone the most.

Product: Eye shadow
Actual use: To add some colour, essentially on the upper eyelids.
Alternative use: A frosted shimmer eyeshadow can be used even on the centre of the lips. Just brush some on the lips, in a colour that matches your lipstick, to get a perfect pout. source
