Do you double duty your products? Blush for eye shadow, Shimmering eye shadows for highlight. Dark shadows as eye brow colouring? Are you a fan or not? After seeing shimmering lip stick as a highlight made me think about it more. 
I have done it with eye shadows but not lipstick. Haven't done it for a while though.

Yes, I'm currently using the shade Virgin from the Naked palette as a highlight shade. It's helping me use it up just that bit faster. ?I've used the za gel liner in brown a few times in my brows before.Um, I think that might be about it though!

I often use eyeshadows as brow colours (: they're basically the same thing.
Just be cautious when using products as multitaskers, make sure the pigments/dyes are eye/lip safe (:

I tried this today! I used a red lipstick as an undereye concealer today as I don't have a orange/red colour concealer to use. I saw it on youTube and gave it a go. It didn't do too bad.
I just recently purchased a bronzer that is a great bronzer but a better highlight to be honest. It makes a nice shimmer eyeshadow too!

I have used lipstick as a cream blusher for years, it works well for me.

I've said it on here multiple times before but I'm currently panning a pink blush that I am also using on my eyes to use it up faster (although it is still taking an age...)

I also use brown eyeshadow on my eyebrows. I've seen people use cream eyeshadows for contour and filling in their brows too.

Lipstick and eyeshadow have both been used as blush and bronzer to save space in my bag when traveling in particular.

I do this alot. I used orange lipstick for dark circles and eyeshadows for highlight and eyebrows. Also used lipstick for a blush and blushes for eyeshadows, mascara for eyeliners if I run out.

I feel that the products get more use this way.

I have used some of my shimmering eyeshadows as a highlighter before. I've done the lipstick as blusher thing but I have found out that usually made me breakout and if used a "drier" lipstick it would blend as well.

I tried using lipstick as a blusher once and ended up looking like a clown. I've never tried it again.
Imagine a world where people know peace, and do one small thing to create it.
