If You Love Someone, Take Care of Them Series: Five creative ways to use cotton buds

Do you know that cotton buds are more than just a tool to clean your ears? There are many other creative ways to use cotton buds. Here are some of them:

Keyboard cleaner

Because they are small and slender, they can get in the nooks and crannies of your computer keyboard very well. Keyboards are one of the objects where bacteria like to gather. It’s time to keep some cotton buds on your desk to keep the keyboard clean.

A great makeup tool

One way to use cotton buds as a makeup tool is to clean off lipstick excess or to blend the colour.

It also works in place of eyelash curler. After applying a coat of mascara, use cotton buds to lift your lashes up.

In case you don’t have a makeup brush at hand, replace it with cotton buds. This works best for applying eye shadow.

Similarly for your eyebrows; use cotton buds to draw your brows. This works wonders especially with the cake powder eyebrow kit.

Cotton buds also work well for applying false lashes. Using cotton buds to apply glue on the false lashes allows for easier application.

Compact-sized perfume

Spray your favourite perfume on the tip of a cotton bud and put it in a ziplock bag to carry with you for some touch-up. This way you don’t have to carry the whole bottle everywhere.

Get rid of dust on your car air conditioner

Because they are small in size, cotton buds are great at getting into small corners of the air conditioner in your car. Wipe away dust with cotton buds every once in a while to keep your car clean.

Make art

Art comes in all shapes and sizes. Use cotton buds instead of a brush to try some new styles. You might even find your new passion. Or use cotton buds to clean up the colours on the edges of the paper.

See? There really are more ways to use cotton buds than just simply cleaning your ears. Personally I always use them to put on makeup when I’m travelling and I left my brushes at home. They really work.
