Makeup artist and Instagrammer Mariah shows us how to use hacks to get the job done.

Also known to do the trick, adding a couple drops of saline solution
"It's no longer dry and it's basically good as new."
Low on foundation?
Then hack number two is your best bet.
Mix the leftover with some face lotion and you've got yourself some tinted moisturizer.
Hack number three is a quick fix for broken eye shadow or blush.
Instead of tossing it, Mariah says, "Just mix it with a little rubbing alcohol and it'll become pigmented again."
Hack number four is all about your eyelash stash.
Lots of people think they're single use, but use some rubbing alcohol to pull off excess glue build-up, and squeeze out at least 4 to 5 more wearings.
As for lipstick, you can pucker up for hack number five.
Transforming an unused color from one of your multi-shadow palettes into a beautiful, bold lip.
