I am a Mom, Wife,
Entrepreneur and a Home-maker. I would like to believe that I juggle
all my roles to the best of my abilities. I multi-task and expect my makeup
to do that too! LOL So I experiment to see what other roles makeup can play,
other than the one it is supposed to. Sometimes I fail, other times –
JACKPOT!!!
This little guy – Lakme Absolute Plump and Shine upto 6HR 3D Gloss - was a gift. I loved the classy packaging overall but thought the colour would be a tad bit light on my lips. I tried using it over lipstick but then the tacky texture of the lip-gloss put me off.

Recently I got myself an
eye-shadow, which was a gorgeous shade but was pretty sheer. I knew I had to
pack it on to get the true colour and also that with my oily lids, it would
crease badly on me in about 1-2 hrs. I didn't have an eye
primer at hand (read – I'm too stingy to buy one!!) BRAINWAVE – Why don’t
I try using my 'long forgotten' lip gloss on the lids as eye primer? RESULT –
EUREKA!! The above picture
was taken after about 2 hrs after application of the gloss and eye-shadow.
How I used it –
1. I took the tiniest…I repeat …tiniest
blob of the gloss and applied it over my eyelid.
2. After a few seconds, I dabbed my
eyelid with a bit of baby powder to take off excess shine and stickiness
from the gloss.
3. Applied eye-shadow as I normally
would.
Gosh, it not only stuck on, but also showed up true to colour. The gloss itself was acting as a pale coloured base. I didn’t need to pack on the shadow and it didn’t crease on me for the entire time I was wearing it. I applied this makeup as an experiment in the afternoon, while my baby was sleeping. After he woke up, we went for a house party and came back post mid-night. There you go!! More than 9 hrs of great wear!! I am so happy that this little experiment of mine was successful. Try it out for yourself with the glosses that you use. If it works, then 'By God ki Kaasam', you’ll never have to buy an eye-primer ever again!!
