7. Make your own lipstick color
We all do with what we have on hand. If you’re particularly finicky when it comes to lipstick color and don’t want to try out a million different shades, create your own. Use blush or eye shadow in a color you find flattering.

Take a tweezer or bobby pin and squeeze some of the powder off. On a clean surface, mix it with clear lip balm or petroleum jelly. If it’s not deep enough, add more pigment. If it’s too deep, add more balm. Absolute control!

8. Homemade tinted moisturizer
Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you need foundation – you have nothing to hide! Fresh, even and hydrated skin is younger-looking skin. Take a spoonful of your favorite moisturizer and mix it with your foundation. It’s the perfect “no makeup” look.
You can adjust the ratio according to the coverage you want. It’s also a good solution for the winter, when your summer foundation may look a bit dark. Speaking of which, remember to apply sunscreen underneath no matter how much makeup you wear.
