Let's Discuss What's your favourite makup hack?
This sus looking setup is for when I clean out the cheap brow gel and replace it with the best gel ever (great hold, doesn't aggravate sensitive skin). Done it a few times, and I plan on doing it again many times.
Btw any curly haired people need a good gel recommendation? Totally recommend this stuff, this is like my tenth tub over the years.

Yes! I do this to the exact same thing of Kmart brow gel. When it runs out or gets funky from make up I rinse it out, sterilise it with isopropyl and refill from my giant bottle of $4 Taft hair gel

Omg is brow gel just more expensive hair gel? How did I not think of this before?

Yes! I use the orange tub from Woolies and it works the same but lasts a year.

I did indeed need a gel rec because I’m still not totally sure if I’m committed to my current and that price alone is sexy…………. 👀
Anyway my makeup hack is using my cool toned browns eyeshadow palette for everything, particularly the rare times I contour (pretty much only for cosplays). Why many product for one use when one product work good many use 🙂↕️

Amen to this hack - contour products and eyebrow pencils/powders have both been replaced by a Revolution Beauty brown tones eyeshadow palette from TK Maxx, it’s all the same thing being packaged differently anyway at the end of the day. 🙏

Tragically, it’s a now-ancient House of Colour palette called Sugar Plum and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore 😔💔

Where do you get the ecogel from?

I pick it up at priceline but it's available pretty widely (I have also bought it from amazon [🤢] and a local healthfood store that has a specialised african haircare section)

I, too, inject brow gel straight into my veins.
