    Thumbs up Weird makeup tips that surprisingly work.

    Thought we should do a thread on our weirdest makeup tricks that surprisingly work saw one or two similar threads but they were mostly along the lines of specific products and their ratings. I'm talking 'wait, you can use that for WHAT?!?'

    pepto bismol on zits or lightly applied as a face mask. Tightens up the pores and absolutely kills a zit without being over drying.
    coconut oil in hair- think we've all figured that one out
    Water-based lube works amazing as hair serum as well. Silicone-based gives a bit more of a shine but it's a little tougher to wash out.

    Feel free to share!

    I use lotion as hair gel. Just a few drops, but it really smooths it out! I don't use it for styling though

    haha, glad you made this thread.

    Last night I was refreshing my eyeshadow in between gold shows, and noticed how red the annoying pimple on my chin was.
    Out of nowhere I decided to put some white eyeshadow on it, and then my regular power on top. It worked better then my $20 concealer!!

    Lube or conditioner for shaving legs and lady bits- makes it smooth as anything
    Apple cider vinegar as a clarifying shampoo
    Strong cold black coffee poured on wet hair to bring out brown/black highlights
    Dish soap and sugar to exfoliate the hands (this was from my landscaping buddies)

    In the winter I don't bother with buying new face powder- I use baby powder. I'm paler then anyway and it's cheaper!

    Colonics/detox/'purging the bowels of poisons' - coconut. Coconut water, coconut milk, whole coconut. Coconut is a natural laxative. That or take a spoonful of olive oil, the extra virgin stuff, or eat a few sheets of seaweed (the kind they use to make sushi). It'll clean you out and completely rehydrate you.

    Oh Timor! I use olive oil and sugar for an exfoliate on my hands...too funny! Love it, plus the olive oil makes me hands the smoothest they have ever been. Granted I use it other places besides my hands

    As a kids I used the regular toothpaste for zits (granted I don't really get them - so I didn't use it much).

    I believe lemon juice helps bring out the blonde highlights (to go with Timor's trick about the coffee bringing out the browns and blacks).

    I use my brown eyeshadow to contour my face before I get on cam. I have a really round face, so I apply the brown eyeshadow to around my chin making my face look very lean and thin. Very sexy looking it works great as creating a shadow which can give you amazing cheekbones too!

    A spoonful of frozen grape juice concentrate mixed into conditioner takes out the brassiness in my blonde between highlights. Just keep it on a few minutes while you shave or something. So cheap, and works just as well as expensive blue or violet conditioners. Just be careful that it doesn't sit on shower curtains or white tiles...might stain.

    Chamomile tea also apparently works great for bringing out blonde if you don't have lemon juice kicking around.

    Red jello powder as a lip/nipple stain
    Cinnamon oil as a lip plumper- its the main ingredient in most plumping glosses
    Honey on cuts or blisters- honey has antibacterial properties and will bring down a blister in no time

    Might be an obvious one now since everyone talks about it - but in case anyone missed the hype, chafing gel as primer. Works just as well, if not better than the 'real' stuff. I swear by it.

    Heat your kohl sticks over a lighter before use for a easy to blend smokey eye (just don't set it on fire like I have a few times).

    Baby oil in your bath water makes your skin really nice and soft, just be careful because it makes the tub slippery as well

    I LOVE this thread!

    I take my makeup off with a non petro chemical oil - usually grapeseed or almond oil. Works better than any toxic cack I've forked out gazillions for! Witchazel to tone & coconut oil to moisturise lickety lick!

    I found these goats-milk baby wipes at the Army&Navy store here in Alberta and zomg I'm in love. They take off my makeup in one swipe, clean my skin, and the goats milk moisturizes like a hot damn

    For a less abrasive clarifying shampoo that's friendly to color treated hair, mix 1-2 tsp of baking soda in with a little bit of your regular shampoo to create a paste, and wash in as you normally would. This is also great for anyone on thyroid medication (which thins hair over time), as it helps strip out some of the medication and leaves your hair looking fuller.

    I always wear liquid black eyeliner, but it can get cakey sometimes. So i take an angle brush, wet it with cheap hairspray, and use black eyeshadow instead. It stays on a really long time.

    I put Milk of Magnesia on my pimples and leave overnight. They are always smaller by morning, but they always end up still being red so now I am going to try bigladyx white eyeshadow trick too!

    refining mask from proactiv. (or any sulfur based mask i assume)
    put it on any pimple/forming pimple, AND past acne scars/skin discoloration areas and fall asleep for the night
    (occasionally i get some stuff on my pillow and then it is bleached where the mask touched it... but its worth it for me)
    it makes all my pimples squeeze themselves out, prevents the forming ones from sprouting, and fades my scars like no tomorrow
    and occasionally i'll use it all over my face and it brightens up my skin, although its very drying so beware.

    Mayonaise makes a great hair mask, just leave it in for anywhere from 15 min to an hour..
    Eye moisturizer/ eye cream works perfectly for removing eye makeup, just put a little on a q-tip and carefully swipe all the gunk away. Plus it'll do its indicated job because you're applying it.
    Visine on redness from pimples or picking
