A Guide to the Weirdest Things People Have Used to Blend Their Makeup

by Souzan Michael May 9, 2017

By now, we assume you’ve all seen the viral video of a woman using her boyfriend’s balls to apply foundation. It came in at the tail end of the trend of weird ass things that can be used in place of sponges. Notice we said ‘can be,’ not ‘should be.’

Here’s a short list of all the objects we’ve seen dabbed on the faces of vloggers on the world wide web, and if you’re so inclined, the videos themselves. If you’re a fan of these looks, more power to you, but we’ll be over here scratching our heads with the end of a makeup brush.

What a time to be alive.
