Over the years, all of us have created ingenious methods for applying makeup or solving makeup problems -- and some of your solutions may help the rest of us.

For example, when a mascara gets old, I toss the tube, but keep the brush or applicator. I wash the mascara brush with soap and water and keep it with my other makeup brushes. Then, I use it dry to comb thru my eyelashes after I apply my mascara every day. It gets rid of clumps, lumps and flakes. (when I was young, I used a safety pin for this - eeuuuwww) This little brush is also good for combing eyebrows. And the next time I toss an old mascara, I have a new eyelash brush.

What tricks have you come up with to apply your makeup? Inquiring minds want to know.
