Expired makeup may not be safe for your skin, but that doesn't mean it has to go to waste. Here are some creative ways to repurpose expired makeup:

1. Nail Polish: Expired eyeshadow can be mixed with clear nail polish to create a new color. Simply crush the eyeshadow into a fine powder, mix it with the nail polish, and apply it to your nails.

2. Art Supplies: Old makeup can be used as art supplies. Lipstick and eyeshadow can be used in place of paint for a unique texture and color palette. Mascara wands can be cleaned and used as paintbrushes.

3. DIY Colored Candles: Melt down a plain candle and mix in some old lipstick or eyeshadow for a pop of color. Pour the mixture into a mold and let it harden.

4. Custom Lip Balm: Mix expired lipstick with some petroleum jelly to create a tinted lip balm. Melt the ingredients together, pour into a container, and let it cool.

5. Craft Projects: Glittery or shimmery makeup can be used in various craft projects. For example, you can use it to decorate picture frames or ornaments.

6. Homemade Play Makeup: If you have children who love to play with makeup, you can use your expired products to create a safe and fun play makeup kit.

Remember, while these uses can be fun and creative, it's important to note that expired makeup can still cause irritation or infection if it comes into contact with your skin or eyes. Always use caution when handling and repurposing old makeup.
