Unexpected Ways To Use A Cotton Bud

Makeup swabs /buds by Lavino Kapur

By far, cotton buds are the most versatile swabs in your medicine cabinet. Not only are they great for cleaning the outer ear, they have a variety of unconventional uses.

Applying makeup.

Cotton buds are perfect for applying makeup. They’re just as good at applying eye shadow as they are at removing it.

  • Apply it over your eyelid, then blend outwards to soften the edges of your shadow.
  • Use them to tidy nail polish on your nails!
  • Or lipstick! You can use the little stick part of the bud to dab it onto your lips, or you can dip one corner into the tube and use that to draw a line around them (kind of like drawing with a paintbrush).
  • Dip another end into some lip gloss and apply that way instead — this will give you an even more natural look than using a brush or stick does because you’re basically just smearing on some moisturizer with cotton instead of placing something onto your face like regular makeup products do!
  • Use cottons buds dipped in facial cleanser to correct fine details of your make up- the bleeding lipstick or smudged kohl.

We, at Lavino Kapur, manufacture speciality makeup applicator cotton buds for precision application and blending of eye make up.

Crafts and hobbies.

Cotton buds make for a wonderful tool for tiny crafts. Use them for:

  • Painting models, dollhouses and other small objects
  • Cleaning small parts that are hard to reach on your tools so that they’re ready to use again!
  • Cleaning small ornaments. You can use cotton buds to clean those hard-to-reach places where dust tends to accumulate, like inside figurines or under the antlers of figurines…

Cleaning hard to reach areas.

If you are obsessive about cleaning and get frustrated by the tiniest bit of grime. Then cotton buds are your best friend! Use them to clean:

  • Hard to get to areas like the switches on your switchboard or the build up around the keys on your keyboard.
  • Jewellery that’s been lying around for a long time, to make it look like new again!

 

  • Inside of vases. When putting flowers in vases there’s often dirt which gets stuck at the bottom underneath the water level; using cotton buds can help remove this dirt when washing out a vase after using it as an arrangement container!

Medical Use

While medical swabs for microbiological test cultures require medical grade, sterilized cotton swabs, you can use pharmacopeial grade cotton buds for topical application of medicines like ointments and antiseptic disinfectants for minor cuts and wounds.

We, at Lavino Kapur, manufacture safety cotton buds specially designed to clean babies’ ears and nose.

All our cotton products are made from pharmacopeial grade cotton.
