Eyedrops are traditionally used to reduce discomfort and irritation in eyes, however, there are a handful of alternative uses of eye drops that can be incorporated into your daily beauty regime.
From enhancing makeup products to improving skin’s complexion, an eye drop solution serves multipurpose functions, while also being cost-effective.
Below are 8 unconventional ways to incorporate eye drops into your beauty routine:
Removing Redness in Pimples
Breakouts are the never fun, especially when they’re swollen and red. Adding 1-2 droplets of eye drop solution to a troublesome blemish can help reduce redness, alleviate inflammation, and make the pimple easier to cover up.
Enhancing Eyeshadow Pigments
Adding light moisture to eyeshadow pigments intensify the shadows’ color and saturation. Simply place 2 droplets of eye drop solution on eyeshadow to enhance iridescent pigmentation and create a long-lasting application, while also ensuring you won’t drown your precious pigments and ruin them.
Cleaning Up Makeup Mishaps
Makeup mistakes are inescapable and can be so displeasing. Rather than having to remove the makeup that you spent so much time putting on, saturate a Q-tip with eye drop solution to easily remove makeup mishaps.
Relieving Dark Under Eyes
Dark under eye circles are caused by broken or dilated blood vessels underneath this very thin part of skin, making them noticeable and difficult to conceal. Try adding 2 droplets of eye drop solution under each eye to reduce this raccoon- like appearance.
Recovering Dried Mascara
Overtime, mascara tends to dry up due to various reasons such as air humidity or opening and closing the cap continuously. Adding 2-4 droplets of eye drop solution to dried mascara bottles can provide the much-needed moisture your mascara needs, while also helping to prevent clumping.
Perfecting Dyed or Waxed Eyebrows
Waxes and dyes can be very difficult to remove from skin. In order to prevent these substances from drying and staining skin, apply a thin layer of eye drop solution to the area(s) you want to protect, above and below the eyebrow. Make sure to place the solution on the skin prior to waxing or dyeing.
Reviving Potted Eyeliner
Potted gel eyeliners are great as they allow for increased control during application, but many times get easily dried out and begin to flake and crack. Adding a couple droplets of eye drop solution will increase moisture and solidify potted eyeliner, making it good as new.
Brightening Tired Eyes
Some days, we wake up feeling groggy, and it’s noticeably seen in our eyes. Adding 1-2 droplets of eye drop solution to each eye will soothe irritation and make eyes look bright and white, allowing eye makeup to look absolutely flawless.
