In a pinch? Make your own make-up it's a sinch!

Do you have leftover bits and pieces of make-up in containers stashed in the back of your beauty closet?
That unused, often forgotten about make-up is not only taking up precious beauty space, it's like money pulled out of last year's winter coat pocket.
Don't you love it when that happens!

Next time you run out of product whether it's blush, bronzer, or even eyeshadow, try combining those tidbits of color to customize your own make-up. You'll not only have a haute new color to brag about, you'll also have a color that looks great on YOU! Because you made it to the exact shade YOU like!
I mixed a neutral eyeshadow (above). Gold is haute right now and I had some gold shadow that I'm not too keen on my eyelids by itself, but mixed with a hint of natural face powder, and some leftover pink blush (pink really makes my green eyes pop!)... I now have a natural base eyeshadow with a tint of pink and speckles of gold! Beautiful!



I also made a bronzer from a matte bronzer that was almost all gone (above). To it I added the gold eyeshadow, a tiny bit of the pink blush, some darker powder (from summer), and some pearly-opal colored shadow that was almost gone as well.

Viola! Fabulous custom-made make-up from colors I already know look great on my skin!
