So @smoochy brought up a good point about products having multiple uses. What makeup/beauty products have YOU personally used for an unintended use? I have a beautiful Lancome lipstick that I'm going to try as blush. I only wear colored lipgloss and balms
I have used
bronzer for eyeshadow
blush for eyeshadow
eyeshadow for highlighter and blush
And Fenty Diamond Bomb in "How Many Carats" to add some sparkle to strategic areas on a beach/ocean art canvas

Your threads always make me smile. I'll be back around in a day or two to read the replies.
In the WEN forum we were just chatting about using hair and body products as facial masks. Works well because Chaz uses good ingredients.

Aw, thanks!
Facial masks, as in applying his hair products on your face for a few minutes or overnight? What do they do for your face/body?

eyeshadow for brow powder...I think I've done that before. Thanks!

I can remember using:
A little body lotion in my hair
Toothpaste to clean my sterling silver jewelry
Burgundy/plum/ pink eyeshadows as blush
Eyeshadow as highlighter
Stick deodorant on my heels (to prevent blisters)
Moisturizer mixed with foundation to make BB Cream
Nude color lip gloss on my eyelids
Bronzer on my arms and legs

Vaseline does wonders for beauty purposes and other things too.....
I do use Aquaphor for eczema flares. When I don't have any, I reach for my vaseline.
There are a couple of good youtube videos about what Vaseline can do to save you a lot of money.

I usually use my products as intended, but have used them in other ways from time to time.
Bronzer as eyeshadow
Blushes as lip color/lipstick setting powder
Lipliner as full lip color
Eyeshadow as contour
Eyeshadows as eyeliner (a usual thing for me)
Eyeshadow as brow powder
Eyeshadow as highlighter
Rosewater mist as makeup setting mist
Toothpaste as jewelry cleaner
Not beauty routine related, but I used to slice cinnamon rolls dough with dental floss

I can't really add anything new. I do use lipstick as cream blush, powder products can go anywhere (eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, highlighter).
I had a beautiful teal mascara that I used as eyeliner.
Tap a sparkly eyeshadow over a lipstick or gloss to add a bit of color & use a product I may not use much on my eyes.
It's makeup. It's fun!

I use Purity from Philosophy to hand wash delicates.
I even have used white toothpaste to fill in small nail holes in walls when removing a picture (in an emergency) - aka rental.....
