Practice Safe Blending

Love the coverage you get from your beauty blender egg but hate how sponges soak up all your product? Crack open a condom wrapper and bring your tried and trusted safe-sex practices to the vanity table. Originally conceived by beauty vlogger Laila Tahri, this makeup hack lets you reap all the benefits of a teardrop beauty blender without losing any product to its porous sponginess. (Just don’t forget to rinse the lube off first.)

Take a Dip

Jamsu is the newest viral Kbeauty trend setting YouTube on fire by setting everyone’s face on ice. Said to have originated in Japan and translating to “diving” or “submerge” in Korean, jamsu is the process of 1) applying all your liquid makeup as usual, 2) setting your whole face with a layer of baby powder and 3) dunking your face in a bowl of ice water for 15–30 seconds. The baby powder provides a protective barrier for your makeup as the cold water shrinks your pores, leaving you with a flawless matte finish that lasts all day.

Egg On Your Face

Has civilization collapsed, but you still want to look fresh as hell? Go ahead and blend that foundation with an actual AF hard boiled egg from your off-grid subsistence farm, you survivor. Originally tried by beauty vlogger PopLuxe, this viral trend started as a wacky suggestion that way, way too many people on the Internet then decided to try. The general consensus is that it actually works kind of well but makes your face smell like egg farts, which honestly is a plus in most post-apocalyptic scenarios.

Get Nosey

This one’s fairly simple and definitely won’t make you smell like egg farts. At the end of your beauty routine, add a bit of your normal highlighter to the very tip of your nose. A favorite trick of Instagram queens everywhere, this little extra highlight adds a kick of Greek goddess glam to your mug. Just be sure to blend it in to avoid looking like Rudolph had a strobing accident.
