Why Be Confined To Labels

For years, I confined myself to labels.  Not brand labels, but product use labels.  I would see a product and only allow myself the use of that product by the label written on the packaging.  If the packaging listed it as eye shadow, that's all I used it for.  If the product said eye liner, that's what I used it for.

It wasn't until years later that I questioned why was I limiting myself.  As I began to learn more about makeup and it's application, my creativity began to flowed.  Makeup does not have to be confined to the shackles we place on them.

First, let me say that there are some products and colors that are not recommended for certain uses because it can be irritating to a certain area of the skin.

But even these restrictions, when followed, do not have to totally restrict your creativity.  Why can't a fierce neutral brown eye shadow be used as a blush color?  Can't find a certain lip liner color, but you've found it in an eye liner?  What's stopping you from using it on your lips?  Have an eye shadow color that you would love as an eye liner?  Wet your eyeliner brush with a mixing medium and line away!

From now on, I challenge you to view cosmetic product usage labels as a suggestion and allow yourself the freedom to let your creativity flow!
