Sometimes lipstick is the only item which we carry in our bag, sometimes it was your favourite obsession and now you are just too bored of it, sometimes it’s so expensive that you wish you could use it in more than just one way and other times it just doesn’t go with your skin anymore.
We all do need some hacks which will help us in using lipstick in many other ways. We have decoded 4 genius ways for you all how you can use lipstick. Preferably you used matt lipsticks like MAC.
To Conceal dark circles
If you happen to have dark circles you will be aware of the fact that how difficult it is to hide them when wearing makeup but use your favourite orange to red tone matte lipstick (depending on your skin colour) all over it and then with the help of a beauty sponge just pat your concealer all over it. And voila it’s all gone!
As an eyeshadow
Your lipstick, especially the one with little glitter particles in it makes for an amazing all over the lid eyeshadow. Just apply it all over the lid and then blend it using a crease colour for a 2 min cut-crease look.
As a Contour
Well, the red and pinks are pretty useless in this case but your neutral undertones might come in handy when you want to give your face a little structure. Just apply that warm brown shade in a ‘3’ shape on either side of your face and blend it using your fingers or a sponge.
As a Blush
Well, the pinks and peach are very often used to add a little blush to your cheeks. Just apply that on your cheeks on either side of your face and blend it using your fingers or a sponge.
With these there hacks you can easily do your makeup on quick go with your lipstick.

Lipstick is a must for me since I have dark lips (though I don’t smoke). But I didn’t know that aside from being used as an eyeshadow, it could be a concealer and a contour? wow! I must try that!
*lipstick can also be used as a blush
Thank Arra. Yes, it can be used as a blush as well.
These are great ideas! I’ve never gotten into lipstick much but knowing how versatile it can be I just might have to give it a shot.

Beautiful tips on how to use lipsticks on other parts of face other than lips. I always use lipstick as an eye shadow but slightly lighter so to match the color of my lips and eye shadow.
These tip are very useful. I don’t use make up that often so you just gave me some new idea’s.
I will definitely try the contouring tip!
Yes indeed, these are very helpful and save money as well

Thanks a lot for your kind words
I would have never thought of using lipstick for any of these things. It’s great that it has so many uses other than making lips look pretty.
Thanks Helen
That’s impressive that you have thought of that many things to do with lipstick. For me, as a man, I do not wear any in general. So I cannot imagine using the hacks. Although when I went on stage as a child I was able to use it as a substitute for rouge. It worked pretty well so my face didn’t get whitewashed on stage.
Thanks David
There are some clever lipstick hacks here! I’d never heard about using lipstick to cover bags under the eyes, that’s so smart x
Thanks dear
I do not typically wear lipstick, but these are interesting uses that I had not ever thought of. Good to keep in mind in case there is a need in the future!
Thanks Sarah
I don’t know much about lipsticks but always use high quality and well known brand. Your lips are important. When I was a child I tried my mom’s lipticks It was interesting experience.
I love that products like lipstick can pull double, or even triple duty! I never, ever thought about using it as concealer, but hey, you learn something every day.
Thanks Yaya
Lipstick as a concealer, I never knew and love it. I don’t wear much make up and you’re right lipstick is pretty much all I carry. I will definitely use these tips on other ways I can use the only cosmetic I carry with me constantly. 🙂
Thanks dear
I have tried the matte red lipstic under my eyes and it actually works! I have bags under my eyes and the color of red is pefect to take the purple hues out!
