10 Genius Ways Celebrities Multitask Their Makeup Products

Gigi Hadid — Concealer as Lipstick

Still looking for the perfect nude lipstick? Hadid might have the hack for you. In an interview with W magazine, the model revealed that she used to use Maybelline's 24-hour concealer as a nude lipstick dupe before she graduated to colored lipsticks. The trick makes sense considering the concealer would be the same shade as Hadid's skin, making it an accurate match for a nude lipstick.

"I am [a nude] lipstick enthusiast," she said. "I always wore nude pretty much until I started working, I started wearing colored lips, but before that, in high school, my first makeup was Maybelline 24 Hour Concealer, and I used to put it on my lips because I hated how dark my lips were. And I still do that."

Kylie Jenner — Eyeliner as Lipstick

Kylie Jenner is known as the queen of lips, so of course she would have some genius lipstick hacks up her sleeve. Before she was known for her own lipstick line, Jenner used black eyeliner as a dupe for matte black lipstick. She eventually concocted the right recipe for a matte black lipstick with her Dead of Knight lip kit, but her hack is still worth knowing.

"Black Lips Forever. I used black eyeliner when it wasn't as easy to find matte black lipstick," she wrote on Instagram.

Kendall Jenner — Bronzer as Eye Shadow

Don't have a bronze eye shadow? Try Kendall Jenner's hack of using bronzer in the place of eye shadow. In a video for Vogue, she revealed that she uses bronzer and a razor-thin brush for the perfect golden eye look.

She takes her bronzer and a fluffy brush and pinches the brush so it's sharp and thin. Then, after dusting her cheeks and neck with bronzer, she adds a little bit to her eyelids to add some extra warmth.

Beyoncé — Lip Balm as Mascara

Believe it or not, even Queen Bey is a fan of beauty hacks. She uses lip balm — specifically, Smith's Rosebud Salve — as a dupe for mascara. For shiny and curly lashes, Beyoncé dabs a bit of balm on her eyelashes before going in with an eyelash curler. She swears the method gives her such nice eyelashes she's able to ditch the mascara.

"I love the Rosebud Salve in the blue can. I wear it with my lipstick," she told Allure. "I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything!"

Emmy Rossum — Lipstick as Highlighter

If you're looking for a natural-looking glow, Rossum suggests using an oil-based lipstick — like Burt's Bees jojoba oil lipsticks — and dabbing it on your cheekbones, down your nose and on your Cupid's bow in lieu of highlighter. The trick, which is also touted by stars such as Zendaya, delivers a sweatlike glow in the best way possible.

“Having a lipstick that has jojoba oil and other things in it that make it feel really nourishing is really nice,” Rossum told People. “I like it not only before bed, but I like it even over makeup. In lieu of highlighter, put some on your cheekbones, above your cupid’s bow, and down your nose — it makes your face look really healthy and moisturized.”

Selena Gomez — Highlighter as Eye Shadow

For most beauty lovers, highlighter is an essential step to making your skin look like it's glowing. But you don't need to stop at your cheekbones and Cupid's bow. Gomez recommends using highlighter on your eyelids as a makeshift eye shadow to make your face glow from top to bottom. The singer picked up the trick from her makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, according to Teen Vogue.

Jessica Alba — Mascara as Eyeliner

Mascara and eyeliner are both in the eye department, so naturally, they would sub in for one another. In an interview with Byrdie, Alba's makeup artist, Daniel Martin, revealed he taught the actor to use mascara for a killer cat-eye.

He recommends dipping a small art brush into a tube of mascara — naturally, Alba's favorite is Honest Company's Truly Lash Mascara — and then using it to draw a winged line. Bam.

Alison Brie — Oils as Highlighter

Skin care as makeup? We're game. In an interview with E! News, Brie's makeup artist, Quinn Murphy, revealed he taught her how to use oils — like L'Occitane's Immortelle Divine Youth Oil — as a natural-looking, glowing highlighter.

Murphy dabbed the oil on Brie's high points (her cheekbones, her Cupid's bow, etc.), giving her a natural glow from a natural product. "I used a natural oil for a natural highlight," he said.

Lindsay Lohan — Lipstick as Blush

Lohan is such a big fan of using cream blushes as lipstick she's launching a two-in-one product for her new makeup line. In an interview with W, the actor revealed that she often interchanges creamy lipstick and blush. She swears by the hack so much that she concocted a creamy lipstick for her brand that won't result in breakouts.

“I love lipstick, but I love using lipstick as blush,” she said. “But if I have a cream blush, I want to be able to use it on my lips and not worry about breaking out after. So, I developed one.”

Mandy Moore — Mascara as a Comb

Moore's go-to tip for taming flyaway hairs is using a disposable mascara wand. Obviously, this isn't the same wand you use to curl your eyelashes. Instead, Moore recommends using an old mascara wand as a mini comb to get in the nooks and crevices your bigger hair tools won't be able to. She swears the wand is your best weapon against flyaways, she revealed to Coveteur.
