Tips & Tricks

I've picked up a few shortcuts and tips along the way, between being rather cheap frugal and having to make things easier with the Theatre thing, so I figured I'll share.

First:  You know when you find that favorite lipstick color and it gets down below the point where you can apply it easily without digging down in with your brush (messy)..well, here's what we have done in WCT do make that process easier.

So, using a little cosmetic scoop or whatever is handy, take all those old lipsticks and scoop up the remainder.  Put each color in a compartment of one of those pill cases available at your local pharmacy.  Once you've got them in there, pop the entire thing in the microwave for about 30 seconds and ta-da...you've got your very own favorite lipsticks in travel form.



Plus then when we do someone's makeup and are really happy with the result we just note that we put M-T-W...or whatever on that person.

If on the other hand you've got a lip gloss or color you just are not happy with you can always take a bit of pigment and modify the color to something you are more happy with.  For lipsticks follow the above process, and mix in your pigment while it is still in a more liquid form as it comes out of the microwave. For lip glosses, balms, you can mix it right in...of course you should check to make sure the ingredients are lip safe.


Made this one using some of my GS pigment and an ELF shimmer lip gloss.  So pretty.
