Empty mascara tubes can indeed be repurposed for various DIY beauty hacks. Here are a few surprising ideas:
Brow Gel Applicator: Clean out the mascara wand thoroughly and use it to apply and groom your eyebrows. Simply fill the tube with a clear brow gel or a small amount of petroleum jelly, insert the wand, and brush it through your brows for a polished look.
Customized Mascara: If you have multiple mascaras with different formulas, you can clean out an empty tube and mix them together to create a customized mascara. Use a clean wand to blend the formulas, and then apply the mascara as usual.
Lash and Brow Serum: Empty mascara tubes are ideal for creating your own lash and brow serums. Fill the tube with a mixture of castor oil, vitamin E oil, and aloe vera gel. Apply the serum to your lashes and brows before bed to promote growth and nourishment.
Precision Applicator for Glitter or Nail Art: Clean the wand thoroughly and use it as a precision applicator for applying glitter to your eyelids or for intricate nail art designs. Dip the wand into loose glitter or nail polish and carefully apply it to the desired area.
Travel-Sized Toiletries: Clean out the tube and use it as a portable container for small amounts of skincare or haircare products when traveling. Fill it with your favorite moisturizer, face oil, or hair serum for on-the-go touch-ups.
