Make Your Makeup Go That Little Bit Further
Hello upstyle
I don't use much make up nower day's.
I do use concealer and bronzer,
I'm getting older and make up can make me look older.
I can't use certain types of foundations as they make my skin feel very clogged. And they feel to heavy on my skin.
I like my skin the breath.
I've always been this way even in my twentys.
With this project i will show you how to get the most out of your beauty products.
Below is my used concealer.
As you can see it's been used lots.
It's on the rim.
I need a new one. But not yet😉
Untill then, I'll make some items from this used concealer stick.
Below is the used concealer stick.
Best coconut oil!
Also my eye cream I use night and day.
Was all used up. Or was it.
Stick with me..
You will need a
1.Egg cup
2.Used concealer stick
3.Bronzing Powder (optional)
4.Mixing spoon
5.Mixing bowl
6. Glass little jar to store
7. Coconut solid oil
I had bronzer powder left over from making my own tone.
There is a project on upstyle about this if anyone interested
As I was adding crame to this mix I also added the powder.
My mixing spoons
I used a pair of tweezers to get all the concealer out the stick.
It might not look like much.
But..
Scrape it all out and put it into the egg cup
Get as much concealer out as you can to mix up
I add a small spoon of bronzing powder
I can add more if needed.
It's better to add less then to much.
Now I like this part..
My eye cream that was ready for the bin and on its last dregs.
I squeezed out the what was left into a small spoon like so
Adding the remaining straight to the egg cup.
A good bit of cream was left over.
Time to mix up well..
And test your concealer
Just like below
It should match your skin tone so do try it out on your wrist
Adding the eye cream, i find that it will make the concealer go a long way especially when adding extra bronzer powder.
Add your concealer to the small gass jar.
All done.
It dose feel very soft once rubbed into my wrist.
I'm happy with this.
And the colour.
Next
Your concealer stick.
Don't bin it.
Use it again💯
Clean it out.
The stick empy.
Screw the bottom of the stick to make the inside of the tube go to the very bottom.
You will only need solid coconut oil for this neat trick.
Push your concealer stick into the coconut oil
like so
Screwing the cap of the stick will allow it to fill up with coconut oil
Push firmly.
Let it set in the fridge for 1 hour
It should work just like a lip stick would.
Leaving this in the fridge is the best way as it will melt.
I apply it to my eye brows and eye lashes I leave it to dry naturally.
I find its great for hydration when I need it the most.
So with that little bit of concealer
I've made more concealer with added eye cream,
And a coconut oil stick for moisture, hydration for hair, face &lips
I never have greasy or clogged pores using coconut oil.
I suppose all our skins are different.
Doing a small test on your wrist will let you no how you will react to coconut oil.
As it can clog some peoples pores up.
Thank you for reading

Can't wait to show this to my husband, he thinks I'm the only person who finds ways of using up the last bit of everything! Ha ha, apparently I'm in good company. I put my coconut oil and left over creams on one side and my mixed up concealer on the other in contact lens cases, they are a great way to carry a small amount without taking up a ton of space. I have another lens case that has two different kinds of sunblock, for when I need to reapply also. Thanks for sharing!
