Advice column by Sonia Myers. Learn about saving money on makeup and skincare, and tips for doing your makeup.

Almost everyone knows what makeup and skincare are and how it’s used. What not everyone knows is how expensive makeup and skincare can be! Everyone who wears makeup and skincare knows how expensive it is to re-purchase makeup and skincare over and over when you run out!

Here are some easy and fast tips for keeping your looks beautiful and easy while on a budget.

Make-up remover:

Makeup remover is used to remove makeup, more specifically eye makeup. You can use a natural gentle apricot oil. Apricot oil is a pure vegetable oil with nothing added and can only cost a little over a dollar. Apricot oil will last for months and has a conditioning effect on your eyelashes.

False eyelash look:

Like false eyelashes? Amazing...they look great! But purchasing many pairs can add up. Apply a lengthening mascara, then lightly dust with power. Repeat with mascara and watch those lashes grow! For a more dramatic look repeat several times. No one wants eyelashes falling in their soup!

Whiter looking teeth:

To get rid of those yellowy stained teeth you can use baking soda. Baking soda can’t hurt or affect your teeth so you can use it often for more of a bigger effect. You can mix it with water then use it like toothpaste or just use it like tooth powder. After, show your smile to the world!

Makeup applying tips:

When using eyeshadow, use a q-tip. You use less powder and the q-tip blends faster and looks smoother. Tap the bottom hard before using your mascara and get an extra length every use. Save empty bottles then collect flowers and add them to the bottle, apply some olive oil over them. Store in a dark place for 2 weeks, then come to s sweat smelling oil to bathe in fragrance and loveliness.
