6 Hacks Makeup Brands Don't Want You To Know... How to Use Up Your Makeup to the LAST DROP!

[@Rennie212]

Another great thing is that by getting all the product out it makes it easier to recycle!!

[@elle6429]

True, that's what I was thinking! ♻️✨😊😊

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Yes so true!!

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

One thing I like to do is to create “Franken-shadows”. I don’t do this all the time. But I do this a lot when I have shadows I don’t love and am having issues using up or when I have shadows that I’m bored of. Doing this has helped me really expand my eyeshadow collection because I find that I don’t really ever go through entire eyeshadows so if I can scrape out a small amount and mix with other colors to create new colors I can expand my collection without having to buy more.

[@laurenolson4553]

Do you repress them? Or make loose shadows? My eyes hate shadows repressed with alcohol ( any tips).

[@alexandra109]

@@laurenolson4553 I repress them, but I don’t see why you couldn’t make loose shadows. Have you tried to repress a shadow just with water? If it is a small amount, it might work. I would try to do with as little water as possible and it would take much longer to dry. But alcohol is just used because it evaporates fast. Might be worth a test with something you don’t care losing if it doesn’t work.

[@laurenolson4553]

@@alexandra109 thank you for your advice. I'll try it.

[@agingophelia9812]

I keep those little containers also, sanitize them, and use them to store skincare samples I'm trying ; it's more hygienic than leaving a foil packet ripped open, and by squeezing out every drop, I get to really use & test them.

[@krueltyfreekelly]

I've been lucky with my colourpop super shock shadows - all of mine have lasted well over 2-3 years! But I've definitely revived other shadows (like the Stila glitter and glow ones) using eye drops. 🙂 I still need to master getting stoppers out - they give me such a hard time!

[@mmmkk987]

I've never considered opening up toothpaste but considering how cruelty free toothpastes are usually more expensive than conventional ones, I might start doing that!

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Toothpastes are the one thing I usually don’t cut open because they just get SO sticky and messy 😅

[@GillenMeg]

I just cut open my Nyx Bare With Me skin tint and my Born to Glow concealer (after I took the sponge off in the first place lol) and I swear there's like 1 or 2 months left of product in each of those 😂

[@mollymetaphora]

You makeup is so cute and youthful! I feel spring vibes just by looking at you. Greetings from a smaller youtuber 😊

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you!!

[@ShadowCloudcc]

I'm totally going to use the eyedrop hack on this Maybelline cream shadow that dried out on me! Looking forward to being able to use that one again because it was really pretty when I got it then it dried to the point where I have to swirl a brush in there for a literal minute to get a tiny bit of pigment out of it. Thank you for the great hacks!

[@tabithabell9568]

Always cut open squeeze tubes! I couldn't get anything out of my IT CC Cream end of December, cut it open and got another 3 months!

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Wow that’s awesome!! Once I started doing it I’ll never go back 😂 it’s just so satisfying to know I’m using every last bit of products!

[@lisagoodgame8969]

Thanks for this video. Your tips on getting the last drop and recycling packaging have been so helpful. You've really encouraged me to *fully* finish products!

[@MicahRion]

Reviving mascara with eye drops is genius!

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

I'm so glad you think so!! It's a game changer for sure!

[@gumybearss]

I love the lip and blush shade you are wearing in this video! It is so fresh and springy 🌷

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you Katrina!

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

I love lipstick palettes so when I use up a lipstick I like i dig it out and put the rest in an empty palette.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

So smart!!

[@kaitlinkasay4379]

I do this too if it’s a shade I love! And use as blush often as well ☺️

[@southdakotasloane2492]

This is such a great video! Thank you so much for uploading it! 💕

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you so much!!

[@meloncreamy1100]

Bonus updates! Yah!!!

[@jodij6280]

I have a TON of squeezie tube things for toothpaste, lotion, etc. Love them! I also cut the tube open when it's squeezed up all the way. I still haven't mastered taking out stoppers with tweezers. All I do is destroy it in the tube.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Maybe try using needle nosed pliers to remove the stopper if you haven’t already! I’ve heard it can be easier!

[@mathildanilsson1614]

Try a crochet hook Have heard that it works well from someone on KZbin Dont remember who tho

[@freckledklutz]

I cut open tubes of things and keep all my finished pots to fill so I have a stash like you of different sizes that way I don't waste things and then you can really stretch your dollar. Also use those metal pusher things to put product out of stubborn tubes. Honestly those are my best which you mentioned and project panning is a good way to make you appreciate what you have instead of wanting to just keep buying more.

[@kaitlynsvintagecloset]

Loved all your tips! I'm such an eco nerd and planner that I was already doing them all but I love to hear people promoting using their stuff to the max!

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you for watching!!

[@thechroniclesofkweencoth]

I’ve had my red smashbox lipstick (‘bawse’ for anyone wondering) dry out on me. Added 1-2 drops of argan oil into it. Now it’s so much more moisturising on my lips 😂 it stays on toooooo.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Ooh great idea!! I'm going to keep that in mind!

[@KristinaMoonchild7]

I never thought to cut open tubes until I saw one of your videos. I was amazed how much product is still inside that isn’t getting squeezed out. Thank you!

[@elle6429]

Same.. I did this with a large body lotion the other day and got what looks like two month's use out of it!! 😮✨😜

[@TiannaOuellette]

Such great tips on how to use up more of your makeup!!!!

[@aaflesje]

I use a staple remover to remove stoppers, because I dont want to ruin my tweezers haha😁

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

that's smart!!

[@TaraLyz]

I just started taking the stopper out of my doe foot applicator products last year & will NEVER go back! I will start depotting products once I have containers empty to put them in.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

It’s crazy how much is left in there!!

[@kristineady4038]

after you use the eye drops to the eyeshadows do you have to let it dry over night or anything or can you use them when you need them after applying the eye drops?

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

you should only need 1 or 2 drops max so i think once it's worked in it should be ready to use!

[@CM-pc3dl]

Yes thank you!! People keep saying mascaras are only good for 3M when they have 6M printed on them! And the expiration label is always way to early than the actual date of the makeup going bad. So it is a minimum of 6M for me. Y'all waste your mascars as much as you want😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Hahah yes that’s exactly how I feel! The 3 month rule has to have been invented by cosmetic companies to get people to buy mascara more often 😂

[@chelseac103]

Your eyes look espically pretty!

[@denizay3159]

Love the video. ♡

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you!! 💗

[@b.mandyy2031]

Watch out for that Physicians Formula foundation. I know it’s your favorite but after using for a while it broke me out like crazy. It might be the reason you are breaking out. Love your videos 💐

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Oh interesting! I actually used it up a few weeks ago but unfortunately I’m still breaking out 🤣

[@clrtomsett123456]

Do you know what the tool you use to break up your shadows and press them into the pan is called?

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

It’s a dual ended cuticle pusher/remover 😊

[@silviamadalina587]

I cut the recipe too😊. I thought that I am the only one who did that on the products 😅

[@Ariana-nz1wu]

unfortunately I've found that when I depot a cream it changes the forumla and makes it much more difficult to work with :/

[@sarahwebb2875]

A small hair scissors to remove stoppers is amazing beats tweezers any day

[@NickaLah]

Don't use preservative free eye drops in makeup, tho. This should go without saying, but I'm sure there's someone out there that wouldn't understand why or forget to check what kind they have. I use preservative free drops because they come in a regular bottle now although, slightly different to maintain their freshness. They work better for my severely dry eyes but preservative free means that you have to use the bottle correctly (it has instructions, you basically have to shake it in long arcs to get any extra liquid off) so none of the liquid remains on the bottle each time you use it and it wouldn't be safe to use in makeup, either.

[@claudiaprandelli7141]

After I repress my shadow smells like alcohol is it normal? 😅 great video I love this 😍❤️

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Hmm it shouldn’t leave behind a smell after it’s evaporated!! It also helps to use a high % rubbing alcohol (around 90%) Are you leaving it open to dry for a few hours?

[@pitolapipi575]

You can use setting spray instead of alcohol

[@claudiaprandelli7141]

@@SarahRoseBeauty yes!! I don’t know I also use a 99% , it always smells

[@Alex-kn3dg]

wait i thought inglot is cruelty free 🥺 i bought it thinking it was

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

It’s kind of confusing, they are Peta certified but both Logical Harmony and Cruelty Free Kitty say they aren’t 😕

[@Brilliantnash]

Inglot is an European brand and cruelty free and vegan, so you can buy and use Duraline instead of eye drops. Within the EU, testing on animals is prohibited. For repressing matte eyeshadows I can highly recommend the dry press method from @facesbygina here on YT and Instagram. Works much butter than with alcohol.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Unfortunately, just because they are a European brand that doesn’t automatically make them cruelty free. This blog post from cruelty free kitty explains why they may not be 100% CF: www.crueltyfreekitty.com/news/does-inglot-test-on-animals/
