Anyone with a munchkin has definitely had their makeup collection raided and also been on the receiving end of an oh-so-artfully applied makeover or two:
Of course you look beautiful but letting the kiddo loose in your beauty bag is not really cost (or easy clean-up) effective for everyday play. So, what’s a mommy to do?
Create a glamorous no-mess munchkin makeup collection with some upcycled bits from around the house!
Here’s how to make my Easy No Mess DIY Play MakeUp:
1. Grab some emptied and cleaned powder, eye shadow and blush compacts.
2. Pour a thin layer of various nail polish colours into the compacts and allow to dry completely.
3. Wash up a few of your old makeup brushes and add them to the collection.
But what about a fancy lipstick?
I had a bit of hard time finding something that not only had a cool lipstick colour but also fit in the cleaned out tube, fortunately a good dig through my stash revealed a rockin’ red non-toxic hot glue stick, hooray!
I popped the glue stick into the lipstick tube and marked my desired length.
Chopped it at an angle.
Then carefully melted the edge into a smoothly rounded shape.
And stuck the fancy new lipstick colour into the tube.
A glitzy makeup collection perfect for a multitude of no-mess makeovers!

Very clever. Kids so know the difference when things are ‘real’, they like them much better than bought toys.
Loving that look on you!
Would never have thought of this idea Sheri, truly ingenious! And that lipstick looks fantastic!
Thanks very much Jade 😀 Pretend makeup seems to be even more fun than the real deal for the kiddo as there’s no need for face cleaning between makeovers!
