A few of Lisa’s Makeup Tips
Here are a few tips for using the makeup you already have in your makeup bag.
- Mix your old foundation with your new foundation
- Scoop your old concealer into a little pot and mix it with some moisturizer. You can mix the new concealer with it too.
- Dry makeup will last a long time and is safe as long as you are using clean brushes.
- Wet your brush and use your eyeshadow as an eyeliner.
- Line your entire lip with a lip liner to make your lips appear bigger, and use a tinted lip balm
