5 Amazing Uses Of Contact Lens Solution For Makeup:

Now is that you can add more elements to your beauty with these makeup tips using contact lens solution:

1. Fix Dried Mascara:

You bought an expensive mascara and unknowingly left it. Soon after you have realized that, it turned dry and clumped. What would you do? Some people add a little baby oil or water to get back its consistency. But this can only mess up the application. Most of us might have undergone this situation. Isn’t it? Now, you can save your mascara!

Take your contact lens solution and add good 5 drops of the liquid to the mascara bottle. If your mascara is some months old and flaky, then adding about 8 drops of the contact lens solution will help. By doing this, the dry formula melts well to revive the formula. Please remember not to take a lot of contact solution, as it might create too much of greasiness and liquid to the mascara formula. Thereby, you might notice your mascara running, fading and creasing faster on your eyelids. Now, close the cap of the mascara back. The soft and moist formula of the contact lens solution will help in adding some moisture to the dried mascara.

2. Intensify Your Eyeshadows:

Love wearing vivid, intense and soft eye makeup, but frustrated with the dull look of the eyeshadows once applied to the eyes? Do you wish to give brighter color intensity to your eye makeup?

Then, simply dampen your eyeshadow brush with contact lens solution and then take your favourite eyeshadows. Please remember not to wet your brush too much with the lens solution. Or else the eye shadow will start running down from your eyes. Just dampen it with the solution. Now, the eyeshadow color will appear brighter and intense!
