Many makeup artists have to carry with them everywhere a whole suitcase of cosmetics and tools. To save space and make the case easier, craftsmen often prefer universal tools. Ideally, a make-up artist should be ready for any task, but in reality no one takes the entire stock of cans for shooting. Rescues ingenuity: most likely, you can mix the necessary means of those that are at hand. Polina Nagorny tells universal recipes that will be useful in everyday life.

Thick tone + nourishing cream

Stable cream in Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10, 4020 rub.

Organic Kitchen Glass Skin Soothing Radiant Care and Makeup Cream, 359 rub.

Persistent matte tone, which lies on the skin with a mask and emphasizes its texture, can be tamed by mixing with the cream. So the basis will become more plastic and pliable. Some thin layers will hide pigmentation, and the make-up will look all the same naturally.

Color pigment + aloe gel

Holika Holika Aloe Universal Aloe Gel 99% Soothing Gel, 540 rub.

In the MAC Pro lineup, you can find a whole series of special tools for mixing cosmetics - there is even a cream base for creating your own ink. But if you want to draw colored arrows, and you do not want to buy a new tool, try using aloe-gel. It can be mixed with a crumbly pigment, one drop is enough for the right consistency. The mixture dries quickly and is fixed.

Matte lipstick + metallic shadow

Eye shadow Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow, 710 rubles.

Many liquid lipstick with a metallic effect, unfortunately, fall unevenly. The situation can be corrected as follows: to get the desired shine, try to fill the shadows over the usual lipstick. In addition, this technique gives great scope for experiments with shades. Do not forget to moisturize your lips, let the lipstick to fix and apply the shadows on top of your fingertip.

Crisp Inglot AMC eye shadow, 1150 rub.

With the help of a gel of strong fixation and any color pigment, you can make a strong mascara for eyebrows - it will cope with all the tasks of the product from the store with a bang. True, we do not recommend using such a potion on the eyelashes: you can earn a slight irritation of the mucous eyes.

Broken highlighter + body cream

CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion Moisturizing Dry Skin Lotion, 520 rub.

Do not forget to shake the mixture before applying.

Eyebrow Tint + Concealer

NYX Eyebrow Gel Eyebrow Gel, 590 rub.

Concealer cream NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, 2499 rub.

In order not to produce tubes in the road beautician, try mixing eyebrow tint with concealer or tone - this is how you can get the perfect tool for sculpting. An ordinary eyebrow pencil will also work: apply it on the back of your hand, slightly warm it with your fingers, and then add a drop of tone.

Lipstick + lip balm
