The 14 best skincare and makeup tips on Bunz
Who among us isn’t obsessed with Bunz? The trading Facebook groups and app have exploded in the past few months, and we’re particularly enamoured with Bunz Makeup Zone. What started out as a place for people to swap makeup (and it’s still a go-to for that) has transformed into a much bigger community of people who get makeup and skincare. And of course, people who don’t and want to learn.
Our fave part? The insane tips we’ve picked up on Bunz. To make it easier for you, we’ve rounded up the 14 best skincare and makeup tips that the girls of Bunz Makeup Zone have blessed us with.
1. If you have sensitive skin, you know that trying new face products can be a nightmare. Next time your face breaks into a rash or spontaneous allergic reaction, try using Penaten Diaper Rash Cream.
2. No need to re-purchase broken powder products. Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol and the product will be as good as new.
3. Eliminate pesky blackheads by applying an egg white and lemon mask on your nose once a week.
4. Need a waterproof concealer? Simply spray your concealer with primer and a strong hold hairspray. It’s guaranteed to last all day.
5. Try mixing activated charcoal and water for the best detoxifying DIY face mask for oily skin.
6. Own a gift card and forgot to use it with your online Sephora purchase? No sweat! You can buy the products online, then bring them back into a store with the receipt, return them, and then repurchase with your gift card.
7. You can combat dry skin by mixing glycerin and rosewater with a little bit of water. Put in a spray bottle with a few drops of lavender and voila!
8. Toning shampoos can be really expensive and drying on the hair. For an inexpensive drugstore brand purple shampoo, try mixing regular conditioner with very small amounts of purple Manic Panic and dark blue Manic Panic. Do this once a week and leave it in for approximately 5 minutes.
9. Combine coconut oil and brown sugar or olive oil and brown sugar for the best body exfoliator. Add vanilla for scent if desired, and store in a jar.
10. Bought a too-bold liquid lipstick that’s now lying in your makeup drawer? Try using it as eyeliner.
11. Clear pimples with the blister bandage method. Simply apply and leave on overnight and wake up to a dried-out zit.
12. Dove soap bars (or any other white soap bars) effectively remove makeup from your Beautyblender or other makeup sponge.
13. Did you know that you can recreate M.A.C Cosmetic’s Prep + Prime Fix+ with glycerin, water, and toner?
14. Ran out of your favourite liquid eyeliner? Mix powder eyeshadow with a couple drops of water to create a liquid eyeliner dupe.
