Makeup is expensive and whether you’re open to experimenting or you’ve found your routine for life, it’s good to know that you have options to try or ways to get the most out of your favorite products.

Here, we’ve collected some gems you may not have seen or thought of – maybe it’s time to experiment!

Of course, not everyone is into a red pout or perfectly curled lashes – and that’s ok! We’ve also snuck in a few au naturel tricks for hydrating your skin in summer or making sure you lock in moisture in winter (even in places like lashes, which really do get dry!).

But if you’re a fan of color and coverup and contour, we have some great tricks to try at home to make your routine easier, cheaper, and more fun.
