Best Home makeup
If you have ever looked in
your medicine cabinet, pantry, or refrigerator you may have noticed that there
are several food or general beauty items that you could actually use for Best homemade makeup product. When you’re in a pinch for a lip stain, eyeshadow, or facepowder there
is no need to make a mad dash to your local pharmacy. Instead head for your
bathroom or your kitchen.
Lips
There
are several lip staining items lying around your house right now. Four of the
best items for staining are beets, kool-aid, Jell-o, and dark colored berries
and fruit (such as raspberry, blackberry, and pomegranate). In a pinch you can
mash beets and fruits or open a packet of Jell-o or Kool-aid and apply it to
your lips by using a Q-tip. For an easier application, you can also mix any of
the items with a small amount of petroleum jelly or olive oil. Out of all of
the recommendations, using mashed beets will stain your lips the longest
because it will stay in place while eating, talking, drinking, etc. Which ever
item you decide to try, please remember to watch your teeth when applying it.
After all, you don't want to have berry-stained teeth while at work or on a
night out.
The kitchen isn't the only place you may find ideas for a new lip stain or
lip gloss. One peak into your best home makeup product collection may give you several quick
ideas for a stand-in lip product. If you are in search of a gloss, then add an
eyeshadow to a little dab of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E, mix together, and
add to your lips. If you are in a big hurry and can't find you lipstick, then
simply use your favorite blush stick on your lips, such as Clinique's Blush-wear Cream Stick.
Color isn't the only thing you can get from items around your
home. If you don’t need a lip color , but you can't find your lip gloss or lip balm then there are
easy fixes you can use at home. One of the best lip gloss/balms I have found
from at-home products is Vitamin E capsules. If you have these in your home you
can poke a small hole in a capsule with a needle and then squeeze a little onto
your lips. It gives great moisture, shine, and it's also healthy to boot. Other
items you can try in a pinch are petroleum jelly and
several oils such as olive oil and grape seed oil.
Eyes
When
using products around or on your eyes, you need to be careful and not irritate
them. Most of us have liquid food dye, but did you know it also comes in a
powder form as well? You can find them at various cooking stores and even some
major craft stores. If you already have some you can grab a non-scented baby
powder, add a dash of your favorite dry food coloring, and mix together until
you get the color you want. You can apply this dry or you can mix a little of
the powder mixture with a dab of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E, until you get a
nice cream eyeshadow. Since the eyes can be such a sensitive area, I would
recommend staying clear of using powdered herbs on your eyes unless you are
already aware of whether the herb will not irritate your eye area.
Face
If
you are fair-skinned and have ever run out of face powder, then you should have
thought of grabbing the un-scented baby powder. Baby powder works wonders with
many things cosmetic, and using it as a setting powder is one of them. Simply
tap a small amount into your palm and then gently press it into your skin with
a makeup puff. If you don't have a puff then you can use cotton balls. Once you
apply it, gently buff the remaining powder away so you don't look chalky. As a
side note, you can also use baby powder in your hair to absorb excess oil
between shampoos.
Cheek color can also be made at home
in a pinch. Remember the beets in the "Lips" section? For a quick and
easy cheek color, mix a small amount of mashed beets with petroleum jelly or
Vitamin E, and mix until smooth. This will work like some of the famous
lip/cheek stains, such as Benefit's Benetint If
you don't feel like mixing things from the kitchen, then grab a lipstick and dab
a few dots on your cheeks, then blend for instant color. If you want a powder
blush, simply take a small amount of baby powder, and mix it with some
eyeshadow scrapings.
In the End
Any of these ideas can work in a pinch
or as an everyday product, so experiment and see what you come up with. Who
knows, you may mix something that becomes your new favorite makeup item. Then
once you are more comfortable with making your own color, you may want to mix
some beautiful gifts for friends and family during special occasions and
holidays. Remember, best home makeupproduct is supposed to be both beautiful and fun, so make
sure you enjoy yourself when concocting the next makeup must-have.
