We Tried The Huda Beauty Speed Makeup Challenge

- I hope she laughs, at least. Then our job is done here. - Huda Kattan of Huda Beauty is one of the biggest beauty
vloggers in the world. - So, we're gonna try and
recreate the look that she's doing in the tutorial that lasts 35 seconds.

- But the things is, when
she posts it on Instagram, videos are only like
30 seconds to a minute. So, we're only gonna have
30 seconds to a minute to complete this full face look. - I think I'm gonna do
absolutely horrible. - Miss Huda Kattan herself is going to be receiving our videos and judging them to pick a winner.

- I just hope I have enough
time to even try it out. What if I only get through the foundation? - I'm gonna try really
hard because I'm a trier before I'm a quitter. - I'll watch the video now. - Oh, god.

Oh, she's going so fast. Oh, god, that's three. Oh my gosh, and then... She did four and then she did mascara? - I think I spoke too big of a game because now I'm like
wait, I'm overwhelmed.

(Crickets chirping) - No one goes this fast. This is nobody's pace. - God, she... Okay, this is...

How, wait, I'm stressed out. - She has some next
level technique on here. It's gonna take me 30 seconds to even digest what she's doing. - I am a firm believer in
a lip completing the look.

My goal is just to get this onto my lips. - I'm trying to unpack as
many things as possible. - I 100% am not gonna win, we know this. It's like peewee soccer.

I'm gonna play the game anyway,
and maybe I'll get a prize. - We got foundation all over the face and then concealer here,
here, here, and here, okay, at the cardinal directions
on the face, got it. - Momma is stressed. - Alright, I'm ready to go, let's do this.

(Clock ticking)
(intense music) - I wish I had washed my hands first. I'm gonna break out. - Oh my God, this primer is very thick. - What? What? - Wait, what do I do next? - Oh, (bleep).

(Laughs) I'm so sorry this looks so bad. I'm trying so hard. (Laughing) - Gotta get a lip, gotta get a lip. Oh my God, this is...

- What? - Are you kidding me? - No, no, no. (Laughing) (buzzer noise) (yelling)
(buzzer noise) (laughing) - Aw, I got it all on my arm. - It's even on my teeth
too, I managed that. Can a tooth give me an extra point? - Yeah, that was not fun.

Actually, it was really
fun, but do I look fun? Yes, I look incredibly fun. - I made it to the foundation. I could've seen a world where I just did eyeshadow the whole time. I could see a world in
which I would've done that, and I didn't do that.

I made it one step
further, so that was cool. - Well, we all know doing a
makeup tutorial in real time is not possible, but I didn't
realize how impossible it was. Look, I think she looks so beautiful, and I look like a McDonald's. - I truly did think I had an advantage.

It was one of those things
where I was like okay, I think I'm secretly actually
gonna do pretty well at this. Cut to (record scratching). - I'm fine, it's fine. Huda, I tried my best.

- I love you so much. Please give me a good rating. - If this is the SAT, I did
put my name on the test. So, I do get 400 points automatically, and my name is on this.

- Hey, everyone. I'm Huda from Huda Beauty. Today, I'm taking part of the Buzzfeed LadyLike Makeup Challenge. Where basically, I'm in Dubai, we have some beautiful
ladies in California who are actually watching a
makeup tutorial that I did.

This is gonna get real good. - Hey, Freddie, you cute. - ... Huda's products before.

- You can do it, Freddie,
I believe in you. Oh, oh. Oh. Come on, you gotta hurry up.

Oh my God, you can't spend
that much time on eyes. She's cute, I don't know
about the makeup though. Jen, I believe in you. Ouch, why is she hitting herself so hard? You're not supposed to
slap yourself in the face.

Too much time on eyes! Oh, that was so bad, but I still love you. That could be a trend. The whole brow things could be a trend. Come on, Kristen.

We love triers (laughs). Let's do this. I feel like she's gonna win. Oh, yeah, she's not spending
too much time on the details.

Oh, she went too heavy handed. She did too much. We know that type, you gotta do less. Less is more, you don't have time.

You guys are all beautiful. (Laughing) Come on, Chantel. If she does that, she's gonna win. Less is more.

She's got the right idea. Come on, Chantel, come on. Come on, oh, I think you might win. - Oh my God, this primer is...
- Wait, wait.

Wait, why are you doing the color, though? Why are you doing the eyes? Oh, no, this was supposed to
start off good, it's like... Oh, no! Oh, honey, no! The lips, don't forget the lips. This was hilarious to watch. First of all, I don't think
it's actually realistic to ask anyone to do their
makeup in 60 seconds.

Freddie was adorable. What I liked about her
is she didn't go crazy with all the colors on the eyeshadows, and I think that really helped her because then blending wasn't an issue. She basically took the
foundation and was like hitting herself in the face, which was an interesting technique. I kinda feel like it might work sometimes.

I don't know, try it out. Jen was super creative. I loved the whole metallic brow. I thought it was beautiful
the way she did it and the way it kinda came in, but I think she did a good job.

I know it was a lot of
pressure with the timing. Kristen was such a cutie as well. I loved her energy. She was really funny, watching
her as well, she's hilarious.

She just had a really good
personality, good approach to it, which I think mad it really fun. Chantel was really great. I think she started out, in the beginning, I thought she was gonna
win because she said she was just gonna focus on the lip, but then she went for the crazy pigments in the eyeshadows and it was
a little hard to blend, so... This was hilarious to watch.

I kinda wanna try this
challenge myself on myself because 60 seconds is really
insane to ask anbody that. Overall, I definitely
think that Freddie won because she just went a
little more light-handed, and I think if you don't have
a lot of time, less is more. So, go with the lip, you can do that whole slapping technique. I think that will work too,
and then you're good to go.

Thank you, Buzzfeed, so much for letting me be a part of this. This was so great to watch, and
I'll see you guys next time. Bye, guys. (Upbeat music).

We Tried The Beauty Blender ChallengeBeauty Roulette

- When ya gotta blend, ya gotta blend. - Your makeup, that is. - But what if the only thing you have to blend with is an egg? - It's Ladylike and today
we're playing Beauty Roulette: Weird Beauty Blender Edition! Ah! - The rules are for
this one is that, well, we're putting our makeup
on with these things and, um, what are we doing? - Okay, so here are the rules
for this Beauty Roulette. We're gonna spin the wheel
and when you get an object you have five minutes
- Five minutes.

- To apply your foundation with the object instead of a beauty blender. - Instead of a beauty blender.
- Yeah, yeah. - Mmhmm, that's what I said. - You know, I don't really
like the smell of egg.

I don't want that on
my face, honestly, TBH. - I really want silicone bra insert, just 'cause I feel like
that's easy and sexy? - [Kristin] We haven't washed it so we've been touching it all morning. - Which one do I want the least? - [Kristin] Tennis ball! - Ooh, yeah, I think tennis ball's going to be skin-irritating. Is this a brand new tennis ball, or like a used tennis ball? - [Kristin] It might have
been chewed on a bit.

- [Devin] It was found in the
back of a truck. (Truck honks) - [Freddie] Damn it. (Laughs) - I don't want balled-up shirt, I don't want tennis ball, I
know where these have been - [Freddie] The back of the truck? - The back of the truck. (Truck honks) - [Jen] We found it in
the back of the truck.

- [Freddie] Which truck? - [Devin] No one knows. (Laughs) - The truck where we get all our props. - [All] Spin that wheel! - Whoo! - [All] Aww. (Laughing) - This is dumb! - [Kristin] Yeah yeah yeah, aww! - Oh potato! - [All] Oh! - All right, excellent,
okay, I mean, I'm not mad.

- No, no, no spoon, No spoon, spoon! - [Kristin] This is your
fault, spoon, spoon! (Dramatic music) - No, no! (Laughing)
(shouting) Balled up shirt, what? - I am going to break out. (Laughs) It's okay. Hard-boiled the egg. - Do I do it with the
skin on, or the skin off? - Skin on!
- Skin on, baby, skin on.

- Fine, you guys, fine. - All right, silicone bra insert, woo! - Ah, I hate this game! - This is my face sans foundation, I do still have eye makeup on. Gross, that's for a lucky fan. - Hey, Kristin, oh my
God, Kristin, you won! You won my gross used makeup wipe! - Yay! - Welcome to potato time with Devin.

A show that could actually
exist, if you're interested. It would just be me and a
potato, talking about my life. Probably complaining. - So I got balled-up
shirt, which was Jen's idea I feel really badly for this poor shirt.

How excited are you to
be applying your makeup with, uh, basically a boob? - It feels very fatty. It feels very, comfy. Like a little pillow. Isn't that what boobs are? Just little pillows? Pillows in the night? - We have decided after much discussion that I'm going to be
using this potato dry, I'm not going to be dipping it in, 'cause it's probably not
porous with the skin on and all of us are too lazy
to skin a potato right now.

- You guys got me used,
these are not fresh. You guys couldn't even
hard-boil any eggs for me? You had to buy me these gross-ass, like fucking formaldahyde eggs? - [Devin] Just use the other egg! - This one is just as bad! - Who wore this, whose is this? - [Kristin] We found it
in props, it was in props. - Did you find this in
the back of the truck? (Truck honks)
(both laugh) - I'm glad that we're
using a clean T-shirt. I guess we could take this tag off since we are not returning this! - [Kristin] So I know I
told you that you would have five minutes to apply your foundation - Yeah.

- [Kristin] But actually
you have 90 seconds. - Why do you hate me? - Excuse me? - A full face of foundation? - [Kristin] Yeah! - In 90 seconds? - [Kristin] Yeah! - How you just change the
rules halfway through? - We're done. - All right, well, 90 seconds 'cause Kristin wants to get this video done. (Kristin and Devin laugh) - I get 90 seconds to be a star! - [Kristin] Your time starts now! - Oh God, ooh.

- Aah... - Fuck, okay, shit. - I forgot what I do. - [Kristin] You're wasting time! - Ooh potato is hard! - The thing is because these are processed they don't smell like egg, they don't smell like fucking anything which is actually kind of disturbing, I feel like they should have a smell.

- Oh this is awful. (Laughs) The thing is that I deeply
suspect this is not working, but I have no way of knowing
because my glasses are not on. - [Kristin] It's making
a slight slapping noise. How is it blending? - Terribly! - [Kristin] How do you feel right now? - Gross, I don't feel good.

- I am the only one that got water, 'cause everyone else's
surfaces were not porous. Science. - Honestly, I think it feels better than an actual beauty blender. - [Kristin] How's it feel? - How do you think it feels, Kristin? It feels like I'm knocking
on a door with my face! - I got yolk.

I'm gonna get the other egg. The other egg is wet though. - Kinda feels like a wet T-shirt contest is punching me in the face. You got about 30 seconds left.

- Okay. Whoo, I feel the blood
vessels in my neck popping. - Honestly, I think it feels better than an actual beauty blender. - The problem is the T-shirt
is eating up all the product.

Have you thought about trying
the inside of the potato? - I did but it's just wet and slimy. And also it's hard to
get into the corners. - I'm still, I keep getting yolk! - I hate you, shirt! This is not working at all. - I'm not about to give up on this potato.

- I think it's blending
really well actually. - [Kristin] Okay so you're
actually, this is easy. (Phone chimes) - Shit! Fuck, I, doesn't matter,
I've gotta keep going. Fucking slippery as hell.

- [Kristin] You have five seconds. - I'm doing this for all
the girls who love carbs. - You know what, just, - [Kristin] And, potato down! - That's fine. - Oh, this old face? Does it look like it's full of fiber? 'Cause it is.

- [Kristin ] No, it's starch, just starch. - Oh, well fuck! - This looks like a jar of
peanut butter got murdered. There is easily four
times as much foundation on this shirt as there
has ever been on my face. - I mean that doesn't look half bad.

- [Kristin] I think that
actually looks really good. - [Jen] That looks
pretty decent, actually. That's like surprisingly decent. I went through two eggs
because neither one of them were strong enough to withstand my face.

- [Kristin] Wow, you look great! - Thanks! - [Kristin] I'm mad, you
actually got the easiest one. - [Freddie] I did get the easiest one. My widow's peak area could
use a bit more blending, but aside from that I have no complaints. - Putting foundation around the crevices, the potato did a piss-poor job, but, overall, like if you were to stand seven and a half feet back,
and squint, looks pretty good.

- [Kristin] This looks like shit. Well, look, here's the thing. For science, I helped you all figured out that you should not apply your foundation with a fucking T-shirt. The T-shirt soaks up all the product.

So, you would put it on your face, and then I would wipe it, I would basically be wiping it off. - Not bad, pretty much full coverage, so. That's disgusting. - We've done a video
where we beauty-blended with a boiled egg, which
actually wasn't as bad as I thought, but this was
easier than that, even.

Especially because it
doesn't smell like, feet-ish. - [Kristin] Are you happy
with the potato, or? - Am I happy with the potato? No, I don't recommend using
a potato as a beauty blender! (Thumping) That's what it sounded like
inside of my cheekbones. - This shirt is so
ineffective it truly messed up other parts of my makeup
that were perfectly fine before we started. - I don't mean to toot my
own horn, but uh, beep beep! - This is what, this is
CoverGirl Healthy Elixir? All right, I guess you work for me.

- [Kristin] I like how you're
giving all the credit to the foundation and none
of the credit to the egg. - The egg doesn't
deserve anything from me. The egg tasted horrible. - We finished Beauty
Roulette, and now it's time for our special guest
judge, Miss Kate Peterman! (Cheering) - Oh, thank you, thank you! - I thought it would be Shinzo
Abe, prime minister of Japan.

- He couldn't make it. (Techno music) - [Jen] Okay. - Yeah. - So he sent me in his place.

How am I going to grade this? Believe it or not, I am a makeup expert. Look at how all of my
acne scars shine through, that's highlighter, baby, so. - So first up is Freddie.
- What do you think? - Oh, you already did it. - [Kristin] Yes.

- Oh. (Laughs) I have to guess what you used? - [Freddie] Yeah. - I see a little not blended
in-between your eyebrows. I'd go so far as to either
say it was a hard-boiled egg or a silicone bra insert.

And I think I'm going to
pick, a silicone bra insert. (Chiming) (cheering) - [Devin] You got it! - [Kristin] Wow. - That's an A. 'Cause I also thought it
was a hard-boiled egg.

And that is a certified
beauty blender, right? - [Freddie] Yeah. - [Devin] So says the internet. - [Kate] Devin now! - [Freddie] Devin's turn! - [Jen] Devin the girl. - So it is in fact a les splotchy.

There are just little clumps, which means it's not something that
was good at spreading, which means it was either
absorbent, or, weird. - Yeah, the competition was fierce. - God, I'm going to say tennis ball. - No.

- A potato. - Yes. - (Laughs) I knew it! - Expert! - So with a potato... - Mmhmm, I just want to
remind you, it's, it's firm.

It's like a rock. - Yeah, it's still pretty bad. (Laughing) I'm on the cusp of a C+ or a B-. - Both of those are passing, so I'm happy.

- Yeah, Jen's turn! The edges don't look too
rough, unless you did that so it could be a tennis
ball, if you do it like this, but I'm going to say tomato. - No. - What was it? - It was an egg. - I did not know, dang.

- Yeah, applied evenly, A+. - From Jen, she's going to grade herself! - There you have it. I'd have said B. - So it's an A+! Thank you, Kate.

- No problem, buddy. - Got an A+. - [Kate] All right, Kristin! - My turn! - You said you had the worst one. - Well, the worst is subjective.

- Yeah, so it's either a
T-shirt or a tennis ball. - Not that subjective. - T-shirt? - Yes. - Ding ding ding! - Yeah! - I did in fact have a T-shirt.

It was in fact the worst
thing you could possibly put makeup on with. - Yeah? - Because it absorbed all the makeup. - Yeah. I'm going to be honest with ya.

That is an A- if I've ever seen one. - What? I did not deserve that but I'll take it. - Simply because I think we
have to take into account how hard it was to put the makeup on. - Right, mine was really hard.

- Mine was also very hard. - Yeah!
- Freddie wins. - Freddie won, and as her prize,
she gets to go home at six. - Yay! - That's the right end of the day! - Yeah, I feel like I
win Miss Congeniality because I have the crappiest
one and I still got an A.

Good job me! - Go Kristin! - Yeah, it's always a
sincere round of applause when you have to start it yourself. For yourself. - I feel like Jen and I got
the participation award, 'cause we participated. - Oh, I did, I did that.

- Beauty roulette, wacky
beauty blender edition. - Lady blended. - Lady ended. - Freddie won, bye.

It's Friday. - [All] We've got merch! - Click here to buy it! - Spoons!
- Spoons! - Spoons!
- Spoons. - Spoons!
- Spoons? - Spoons!
- Spoon. - Spoon.

We Tried Extreme Beauty Hacks From Old HollywoodLadylike

- We here at LadyLike know
that beauty can be hard. - Like plucking your eyebrows for example. That's a devil's ritual and I won't do it. - But we got our hands on a list of hacks from classic Hollywood and
well, we're gonna try `em.

- It's LadyLike and today we're trying old Hollywood beauty hacks. - [Host] Gimme them hacks! - My somewhat common beauty hack that I use is just coconut
oil for everything. I rub it all over my
face and fingers at night and then I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling refreshed and shiny. - I would say maybe an extreme beauty hack is like when I'm in the shower washing my hair, the water is pretty cold.

And it's because it helps my
hair from getting dehydrated. - When I went to prom I
actually set my hair in beer. It was my mom's suggestion,
I would rinse my hair with beer and then like,
rinse it out with water and it made my fine hair
be able to hold curl. - The way I put on my eyeliner
gets a lot of comments.

When I put on my eyeliner I just, lay it on really thick and
I go probably out to myaah. Then it covers everything
it needs to cover and then I just take a wipe
and I wipe it all away. That way I don't have to be more precise when applying it because
everything's covered and I just gotta wipe away
the stuff that I don't want. - None of my beauty hacks are dangerous and none of them are
very surprising at all.

- But I hear, a bunch
of these beauty hacks that we're about to look
at are kind of intense. I hear about it because I'm actually directing this video so... So in front of me I have
a list of 20 fun facts about like, our old Hollywood idols. The beauty tips that kept them fabulous.

But apparently all of these tips will make us say what the fuck. Audrey Hepburn got her
signature doe-eyed look by separating her lashes one
by one using a safety pin. No thank you, why would you willingly put a safety pin right up on your eye? Today I was walking to Rite
Aid to buy some deodorant and a bug flew straight into my eye and I was like, this is how I die. - If you have a compact and a steady hand, go ahead, put a needle right by your eye.

I don't have a problem with that. You wanna do that, that's fine. - Marlene Dietrich insisted on having real gold dust sprinkled on her wigs to make them shine more on camera. Real gold dust, that's luxury.

This is like, a Foxy Cleopatra kinda hack. - Putting table salt in your cleanser and slapping your jawline was the secret to great skin in 1940. Really?
Table salt? - (Laughs) These are funny. - I mean salt, if you want to exfoliate but salt is abrasive.

- Last time I checked putting table salt in any kind of like, open wound, really intensified the feeling of ow. How is it supposed to keep
your skin like young and taut? (Slapping) - Rita Hayworth dyed her hair and endured a year of hairline electrolysis
to look less "ethnic". What type of ethnic?
She looks like a white lady. - Howard Hughes believed slowing down when driving over a speed bump would prevent boobs from sagging.

- Also, Howard Hughes, what
do ya know about having boobs? I'm sure you know about liking boobs. I'm sure you could
write a book about that, but what do ya know about having them? - Uh-uh, I'm tight. - According to a beauty column in 1941 placing a piece of tape between your eyes stops you from frowning. This is basically the old-timey version of when a random man tells
you, you should smile more.

Yeah let's do this one it seems fun. - [Camera Woman] It might be too big. - Yeah, like this? - [Camera Woman] I guess so. - Actor Gloria Grahame
stuffed her upper lip with paper or cotton to
make it appear fuller.

It seems like that would work but would it look ridiculous, maybe? Let's do it, I'm down. - Frances Starr did 20
somersaults every night to keep a youthful complexion
and help with indigestion. Youthful skin, no more gas, let's do it. I don't really know
what a somersault is so, lovely Brittany's gonna
show me how to do it.

- How do you do this at all? Why do I look like an angry baby? - Billie Burke famous for her role as Glenda The Good Witch in Wizard of OZ, swung from her door frame
like a pendulum to stay young. Maybe that's science?
I don't know science. But I do know that I hang
upside-down from a pole often. So I'm actually gonna
put this one to the test.

For beauty! - I feel something. - You can totally see
this if I show any teeth, and the longer it's in my mouth the harder it is to close my lips. - The pants I'm wearing are quite fitted. Not much give so I'm
going to unzip the back to make sure that they don't rip.

I have to do 20 of these? I'm tired. (Laughs) 19 Left. - [Camera Woman] It looks
like a baby Post-it. - Yeah, supposedly it pulls
your face muscles upwards and then you don't wanna frown.

- Does it?
- I guess, I mean I've been smiling a lot so I guess it's working. - You do look actually more smiley. - I know, I can't tell if it's 'cause, it's working or if it's 'cause
I just think this is funny. I don't know? Old Hollywood's weird.

- I only did it for a couple of seconds. Typically I can stay upside-down
on a pole for forever but this is a stop sign. - Really?
- [Camera Man] Yeah. - Wow.
For beauty! - If this is wait it takes to have youthful skin and no gas, I'll pass.

I'll have wrinkles and poop, and shart. - We did it. (Slapping).

We Tried 1950's Beauty Tips

- This is what they would do after they cried because the meatloaf wasn't great. (50S pop music) - Today we are trying 1950s beauty tips. - Help. - I don't know anything about the 50s, I know diners, I know milkshakes, I know Grease.

- I know it was an age of conformity. - I think I have some 50s beauty icons I like. - Whenever I see images of the 1950s it's always like, women looking very put together, their hair is coifed, like, it doesn't look like something that was like, an extremely quick process. - I think you were expected to be a housewife who's job was to tend to their husband and have children and like, that's it.

(Rockabilly music) ^- Pond's cold cream, my mama had this. ^She still uses this. ^- That was very 1950s of me. - Wow, this is really working.

- Lipstick came off in just one wipe. 'Cause I hate those things that you have to like, wash your face like, over and over again, like, I'm so lazy I can't do that. - See my problem any time I used this growing up was like, I'd really smear it all, I feel like you'd smear it all over your face. - Tomorrow, I'mma have a pimple.

- I am a little worried about what this is gonna do to my overall skin, like I have combination skin so it's a little dry and a little oily and in all the dry places, I feel like, ahh. (Rockabilly music) ^Time to go under. ^- I'm so excited about this. ^- Me too.

^- [Girl Under Pink Blanket] It's so hot. ^I like it though, it's like a spa. My pores feel scared. - [Girl Under Red Blanket] This is so comforting, I feel like we should have a room like this that we can just go into.

- [Girl Under Pink Blanket] Yes. - Wow. - I feel like a new person. - I do feel like, nice and soft.

- I feel like it opened up my sinuses. - I feel like that combined with the Pond's cold cream it feels like I just did like, a moisturizing face mask. - Was that supposed to like, open our pores? - Yeah so then I guess we're clean after. (Doo-wop music) ^- It's kinda like harm-y, like it's kinda like, abusive.

- I'm already worried 'cause I feel like this to me ^just feels like it's like tantamount to bleach. ^Like, it feels like a very raw soap ^and I feel like my skin is gonna be in shock. ^- When I get facials, the first thing they tell me ^is to not wash your face with the soap you use ^for your body, so this can't be good. - Ow.

My skin on my face gets hot, it will be like (beep). - Exfoliating, I love exfoliating. I love it, it's like, nice and rough. - Going into this, I expected this to feel like sandpaper and I wanted to hate it, but I actually kind of love it.

It seems like, to me, like, a good zero waste exfoliant. (Doo-wop music) ^- So this is like the cucumber of the 1950s? ^We're about to get tea-bagged. - Well it feels nice. - It does feel nice, it smells good too.

Now I want some tea. - This whole routine just makes me feel like I'm being rocked by my mother to sleep. I'm like, I just wanna go to bed now. - It feels really nice, I feel like, this is what they would do after they cried because the meatloaf wasn't great.

- That felt so good, I honestly think it did help with the bags under my eyes. (Doo-wop music) ^- If you could eat this, then I would buy into it ^'cause then it's like, you can do everything with it. ^- Okay so I'm gonna do my arm, what are you gonna shave? ^- I'm gonna shave my little pubescent mustache. - I do appreciate that about them.

They use like one product for everything which is my brand. - I feel the cream getting caught in the razor. - I feel like this is great for probably like, sensitive skin. (50S pop music) ^So this is supposed to prevent you from frowning.

^I guess it works 'cause you have like, something on your forehead so you're like, more conscious of like, what's happening. - I'm really happy that we're getting to a place where women are allowed to have feelings on their faces. - I'm like, getting extra tape 'cause this is like, my five head. - After you like, bath yourself in Pond's cream you just, throw a dash of tape on it.

- It's like Botox, I like it. - I would absolutely not try this. This makes me want to frown. (50S rock music) - It was fun, it was rigorous.

- When you think about all the things that we do to like, feel pretty and feel, I don't know, like, that we're taking care of our skin. Like, I get it, you know, but that is so much work. - It was way too much. I think some of them, I get, like, exfoliating and washing your face or whatever.

Like, I get those and I think I do those still. I think what troubles me the most is the reason why they did it. - Because you're using so few products, it's super cheap. Like, I'm like, it's minimal, good for the environment and good for your wallet.

- I'm sure like, so many of the, you know, skin care steps in beauty routines from the 50s and earlier eras definitely led to like, our routines, you know, 'cause you keep evolving things and you make them better, so thanks ladies, thanks fore mothers.

Trying Clickbait Beauty Hacks From Instagram

Hello Friends and welcome to another video Today we're gonna be testing out questionable beauty hacks from Instagram videos now We've previously tested out some strange hacks from Facebook videos with mediocre success and since then pretty much all I've been seeing on my instagram explore page are similar Beauty hack videos They seem to think that I'm a hacker that I like hacks or that I am a hack so I've decided to take these Referrals as a sign that I should dive back in and put these videos to the test Instagram has a lot of beauty videos in general which are often speckled or arranged into playlists on the explore page or free booted from individual creators and reposted by big make up accounts and by design you can churn through like Dozens of these videos at a time I mean look at those thumbnails Don't you want to click on those? Is that James Charles? Almost all of these videos are sped up, have little to no talking and oh yeah Instagram also doesn't have a progress bar so you can't skip around or rewind. In addition I find that Instagram videos are more prone to true click-baiting than Facebook videos. You'll get some classic thumbnails like this one with a giant red vampire Eye, but then when you click into the video It's just a normal eye shadow tutorial but some of these videos are just click baity in that they use a Ridiculous seeming method in order to get an enticing thumbnail whether or not that method helps you do anything faster or better Or anything at all and those are the videos we're gonna be mostly focusing on today as much as I would like to try out Permanent retina damage. Alright, so let's dive right into these the first hack is certainly beauty related But it's not for your face.

It is in fact for the pits. That's right your armpits. That's what I mean It's an armpit Beauty hack! Alright, so this video was reposted by makeup vines But it's originally by Sarah revolta the comments are pretty harsh. There are a lot of like nauseous green emojis and um, one girl says tbh I threw up.

So basically what happens is Sarah wakes up, and oh no, she has armpits! She doesn't want you to see them, so she's gonna cover them with honey oats and baking soda I think actually the premise is that she has like dark skin on her Underarms or something because she certainly doesn't have any hair. Interestingly enough, DIY armpit lightening masks are kind of a motif throughout a lot of Instagram hack videos I feel like it's kind of like bleaching your b-hole it's like a little unnecessary But if you really want to I guess you can. So she puts her DIY mixture like on her armpits And then she sits with it for a while to let it do it's good stuff She doesn't say how long you should leave it on for? Oh... All right So maybe she means ten minutes because as she's leaning back She just goes "Ten!", But after some amount of time she scoops the oatmeal off and feeds it to her boyfriend I am so happy and yet also sad for Tyler that that occurred because now he has to eat my armpit oatmeal.

TYLER: what you showered today right? SAFIYA: yes, I shower every day *not convincing smile* and I smell very good always. TYLER: that's a lie. SAFIYA: all right the first thing she does is, honey And it doesn't look like she has like very specific proportions She just kind of has like a big old spoon and just puts in a big old spoon. As for the oats She kind of does like one heaping tablespoon, so I'm gonna do like a couple of these there We go and for the baking soda.

She kind of just does like a little less all right so her next step Is that she mixes it together and right off the bat? It's pretty dry I think I might need a little more honey. How am I so bad at this? I will say she just seems like she just sort of did a couple of swipes And then it was like a nice sort of wet mixture. All right ready for the application. TYLER: Ah that's nasty dude.

SAFIYA: is this what I'm supposed to do? TYLER: this feels like the worst like sexy role-playing thing ever SAFIYA: it's like a Cosmo tip it's like spice it up by bringing food into the bedroom Oh, it's honey and baking soda in your pits. I will say it smells kind of good though. All right I'm like a little bit unsure of how to do this with my other arm pit full of oatmeal already Oh, I need help I can't do this with my left hand TYLER: it really doesn't spread does it? SAFIYA: Oh, No spread it down no, no! Down, not out! I'll hold the camera. OH NO! TYLER: oh s**t.

Oh God, I just dropped a huge chunk. SAFIYA: No, no, not out. Ty, up and down, clearly. TYLER: I think we have different definitions of armpit here.

SAFIYA: Alright, here We go after some struggle both my armpits are oated. My arms are gonna get tired Okay, so it's been about 10 minutes since I put on the right armpits oatmeal and the oatmeal has definitely warmed up. In fact, It's turned kind of like whitish and creamy almost as if it's cooked or perhaps like reacted somehow with the baking soda She basically just like scrapes it off with the spoon, and then immediately tricks her boyfriend into eating it. Alright Ty are you ready, I got a spoonful of oatmeal for you.

TYLER: Why am I doing this? SAFIYA: Oh? That's not food is it? These are really that bad? Ew! You just drooled all over me. TYLER: very salty. SAFIYA: It's salty? That's my sweat TYLER: *disgusted noises* Alright so after wiping off our oatmeal mask completely. I'm not sure that my armpits are any lighter it kind of feels like maybe they were just Exfoliated a little nicely.

I did really have to kind of scrub those oats off and taking a look at her after armpits They look pretty much the same, but in terms of the execution of this hack I just got oats all over this floor and my shirt and I might have poisoned Tyler so I think that you know you could probably just use like a body scrub on your armpits and Save yourself a lot of mess alright so for our second hack We're gonna go in for another lightining treatment except this time instead of being for your underarms It's for your under eyes, so this is a video by Medina shrien zada She basically sort of pops up and she has like very exaggerated dark circles They look pretty fake like maybe she just put like a lot of eyeshadow underneath her Eye, and then she's skins and cuts up a potato puts some honey and black pepper on the slices and puts them under her eye for five minutes And then when she lifts them off of her eyes the dark circles are gone as well as the eye shadow now it does say Further down into her caption that she's mimicked dark circles, but it's pretty far down And I think people in the comments aren't really having it so with that. Let's try it This is coincidentally a great time to try and test this hack because I was up till 6 a.M. Last night, and I have a whole under-eye suitcase situation going on. Okay, so the first step is to peel the potato TYLER: do you know how to peel a potato? SAFIYA: No, I'm not very good at this, can I just slice off the Peel? This is much better.

I got it to be sort of like a geometric gemstone by just peeling it with a knife alright So basically she just sort of cuts off like little sections That would cover her under eye area, and then next she just puts a little bit of honey on 'em. And then she goes like this. So then the next thing she does is she just Sprinkles some black pepper on and then applies it to her eyes. Cheers.

Okay, this isn't so bad. I will say that right off the bat The potatoes kind of cold, so I'm feeling some refreshment So that's probably actually good for your under eye circles. Move over a cucumber slice potato is coming for your wig I'm not feeling any sneeziness, or eye pain because of the pepper as of yet, the pepper is more just like texture It's like I feel like a piece wedged in between the potato and me. Alright so in five minutes Let's take these bad boys off and see if my under-eye circles have packed their bags and left Are you ready for my Princess Diaries reveal? TYLER: Well you don't have a unibrow so...

SAFIYA: I do have a unibrow. I just plucked it tada Oh, I look like I was just crying coffee grounds. Oh actually now that I've lifted the potato up I'm actually feeling the tingling from the black pepper and like almost a little spice. Oh, oh it's hot.

Oh. This is odd I feel like I have like a bengay patch underneath my eyes you and I mean like a Salone puss I think that maybe some of the logic behind this hack is that the pepper will like stimulate blood flow But my undereyes just kind of hurt, and I don't think they look much better. Now She said this was her under eye 'routine' so maybe like one time isn't enough But that is a lot of work and pain for a 'maybe'. So I've put on some foundation because the next hack is a makeup hack so this account dramatized free booted and Reposted this video from promisetamang.

They gave her some credit but you definitely had to click read more to see it so the thing that stuck out to me about this hack is that it's Basically like a surprise double hack from the thumbnail It looks like she's using tweezers to somehow contour her nose And when you click in she's actually Using the tweezers to draw in her eyebrows After he completely does her eyebrows at the very end she does her nose kind of quickly So it was kind of like an emotional rollercoaster, I thought I had been click baited and then right at the end I was saved. All right so I think what she does is she just like takes the eyebrow gel and like paints the ends of her tweezer with it. She Has thinner eyebrows than I do so I worry that my eyebrows may not be Contained by these tweezers. As she gets to the back she Closes the tweezer.

Did that do anything? I feel like I just got a little bit of eyebrow gel in the head of my brow Right here. I do have slightly wider tweezers that maybe would work better, so let's try those that didn't do much I'm gonna try more of a pomade than a gel just to you know give it more of an impact. Oh, that's darker That's better and then narrow it narrow it oh I skid marked all right Let me try the other side And then we'll try and fill them in oh no oh no left hand no good the thing is it's not Decidedly worse than the other one, but neither are really great. TYLER: you look like an Angry Bird right now.

SAFIYA: I feel like an angry bird right now I feel like I'm getting the intent of the hack, but my artistic abilities are not really up to snuff So let's try out the nose contour. Maybe I'll be better at that since there's less like drawing involved all right ready *humming* TYLER: oh that's a good draw right there. I don't think I did that well with this one either. I think that this hack easily goes skidmark It takes the skidmark exit nearly every time.

I don't know what kind of brush She's using so I'm just gonna use this brush and just try and buff it out buff it out. What Wha What What buff it out I will admit that I don't do nose contouring very often this side looks okay, and then you go over to this side And it's just sad now though compared to my nose contour my eyebrows are looking great So I'm happy about that at least I think if you have the right features that fit Inside of like a normal sized tweezer, maybe this might actually work for you But besides that I do think it's a little more trouble than it's worth Okay, so the next hack is another makeup hack, and I actually recognize the company. That's made it It's Cristine's favorite channel troom troom. CRISTINE: *singing* Gotta get those troom troom views! Yes, so this video was reposted by DIY amazing DIY, but I think something got lost in translation Because the video doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Early on in the video They introduced the hack Which is like using a spoon over your eye to like create like an eye shadow? Look and then they sort of like put clip in extensions in their hair apply some eyeliner And then are like told by a third person to only use one hand And then by the end of the video they've given up on doing their makeup entirely none of that is explained or captioned It's just if you keep watching the video after the hack you'll notice that there's a lot more video And it doesn't make any sense. Okay, and with that let's try it. Alright I'm just gonna put like a little bit of a base shade on I don't really know what else this girl does she just kind of puts a spoon on her Eye, and then goes to town though to be fair She kind of does like this sort of crease action and then moves on to do something off-camera And when she comes back her eye shadow looks a lot better, so there's definitely some movie magic involved. Alright I've got a couple different spoons I think I'm gonna go with this one because it's flatter and then I'm gonna take a little bit of this brick color and go In oh that's moving my contact around I can feel that but this is hard to do with one.

Eye TYLER: oh, that's gonna be a good cut crease. SAFIYA: first doesn't end up being a cut crease it just sort of ends up being like a Dramatic crease look okay my contacts back tada. I think that over here We are seeing something that could be like an eye shadow look, but in general It's not very symmetric or even. Let me try the other spoon on the other eye I think this one's a little more rounded.

So hopefully it'll be a little more flush to my eyeball TYLER: alright, you know what, that looks pretty good! SAFIYA: the thing is for a starting point for eye shadow like you could start from here And then just like keep blending it out I'm just not sure that using a spoon is easier than just like putting the product straight onto your eye Just to be fair to troom troom, I'm gonna blend this out a little bit You know just to make it like more of a look in general this video. Just confuses me I think it's almost like a game of like bad Beauty hack telephone But that seems to be a big part of Instagram videos in general a lot of them are stolen and chopped up I guess that might contribute to why they're so confusing Originally I had suspected that this was multiple troom troom videos cut together But amazingly all of the footage is actually just from one video called makeup challenge full face using food and school supplies I guess these weren't meant to be hacks after all okay So this last hack is a hair hack that I'm very excited about so this video was posted by a page called makeup vines But it was free booted from five-minute crafts So basically what it is you put a scrunchie on like the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner? And then you vacuum up your hair put the scrunchie on and voila ponytail this hack in particular I remember seeing in like a viral video from a few years ago about like a disgruntled dad Trying to do his daughter's hair so Tyler will have the honour of vacuuming my head today,TYLER: so basically. It's me testing this hack SAFIYA: Yes, but it's my head on the line TYLER: without further ado *turns on vaccuum* SAFIYA: AH! TYLER: Let's vacuum some hair! Are you ready for an instant ponytail? SAFIYA: *yelling* No! TYLER: It keeps getting your shirt SAFIYA: *screaming* SAFIYA: Did it work? TYLER: *vacuum shuts off* is that what they want us to do? SAFIYA: You know that tickled. The sound was absolutely terrifying, but the sensation was quite nice, try it again TYLER: So I'm gonna double it up this time because I think it was a little loose Hey, that wasn't so bad.

SAFIYA: I have a complete chunk of hair, that's missing, but that's artful I guess TYLER: you look like a spunky like zoo Disney character right now. Let me try it one more time It's still a little messy. Ah! You've got so much hair. Oh here.

We go here. We go here we go That's what I'm talking about and that's a ponytail It's not perfect, but it's close the level of perfection from five-minute crafts is pretty mind-blowing because there's like stray hairs everywhere SAFIYA: It's not so bad. I'm surprised that it worked. Even as well as it did a major con to this though is that the inside of a vacuum sees some stuff and you probably don't want that stuff on your head besides that I'm Not sure, it's faster than just doing a normal ponytail yourself But it's definitely more exciting so viral video.

Yes hack that you recommend to people I don't think so this could be kind of a good prank though Hey, let me help you but like give you a slightly messy ponytail Okay, so those were my questionable Instagram hacks I'm not sure I really got the hang of any of these hacks But I think the one that was the closest to a hack that might actually work was the tweezer one the other ones may have had some effect But I don't think the results were worth the trouble pain or mess so I wouldn't consider them better than traditional methods I think my main Takeaway from this is that the reason why Instagram has so many hacks like these which are so ridiculous in nature Is that the video posters or reposters are working within the confines of Instagram where you only really get a thumbnail to work with There aren't any visible video titles on Instagram, and you can only see the caption after you've clicked it So you kind of have to make a video that will lend itself to having a crazy thumbnail And if you don't well Then you just have to make up a thumbnail to be fair these videos can be pretty entertaining So if they were marketed more as things you should watch rather than things you should do They'd be a lot less perplexing. I would just also say to Instagram Please add a progress bar and to you all at home. Maybe don't put black pepper under your eyes thank you guys so much for watching if you like that video make sure to smash that like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to Smash that subscribe button here are my social media handles and make sure to check out my next feat I vlog on there every Sunday A big shout out to respect the Beck for watching.

Trying Clickbait Beauty Hacks From Facebook

Nope I'm not sure Hello friends and welcome to another video Today I'm gonna be testing out Questionable beauty hacks from Facebook videos. So recently I was scrolling on my Facebook feed and I came across This video, it was a DIY makeup hack video in which the hacker cut up fake Eyelashes and dumped them into clear eyebrow gel And that was it. That was the hack. Much to the ire of the commenters below.

This led me down a rabbit hole of more of these Facebook Beauty hack videos, of which Many seem to share the theme of why, and is that even a hack? It seems like they often just do random things Just to have a sensational thumbnail or title. So it's not really the kind of clickbait where they lie to you because they usually Show you what's in the thumbnail within the video, with some exceptions But often times they seem to just invent something Ridiculous just to get a reaction. And they almost never talk in the videos So they don't really have to explain themselves. To be fair it can be kind of entertaining, like hey You've got a fork on your face.

How about that? But I wouldn't really call them hacks. That said maybe I've got it all wrong Maybe these hacks aren't ridiculous, and they're actually very helpful, so we're gonna put them to the test today and find out. Okay! So first up is this pretty mysterious hack. So this particular video was posted by a Facebook page called Brush, and the caption says "I need to try these" A little bit below that they do credit this girl Luisa Simona's Instagram But it doesn't seem like they tried these before they shared them with the world.

So basically they put some toothpaste and then some baking Soda in a cup and they mix it together oh And then straight away there was no before picture of the chin, Luisa is just brushing the toothpaste on her chin. I don't know what her motivation is, I mean we can watch it with the sound on just to be sure that Louisa's not speaking to us No, it's just just sort of jazzy, love making music. But she does make sure to put up some fish emojis just you know she's making a fish face. Then she wipes it off and We see her chin, and then after that it just goes straight into a different hack, so that's about all the context We have.

So I say let's test this thing. Okay, So she starts off by just pouring the toothpaste in there's no quantities that she gives. She just sort of puts it in It's a pretty artful swirl if I do say so myself, and then after that she puts in what looks like one Teaspoon of baking soda. Oh I spilled it I spilt it this smells really good though Maybe it's for bad breath.

On your face. So how she applies it is She just sort of takes some on her toothbrush and then puts it straight on the chin. Oh, it's cold It just missed completely, oh wow that is Pungent and powerful on the chin, she does sort of brush, it around. Oh that hurts.

I feel hacked Lemme see if Louisa herself has anything to say about this. Ah this must be it. It is supposed to remove blackheads It's supposed to remove blackheads! It's supposed to remove blackheads! Don't leave it on! Well, I've left it on. It's too late now We can't go back.

Alright So I think I should probably take it off now because I've left it on for at least five minutes. Oh boy. Oh oh, ow ow! As it's coming off it hurts more. I don't know that my chin looks like there's less blackheads on it But it does look a little bit red and raw.

So Louisa did have a little bit more instructions But Brush just chose to like completely not include those, though The comments do say a couple of helpful things, do not do the first one with whitening toothpaste. It will burn. Are these whitening? Yes, damn it Louisa! Alright. Well.

That's our first hack. Based on the pain and the lack of instructions I wouldn't recommend this one. Shall we continue? So this next hack was the sort of og hack that started off this whole process This is the clear eye brow gel. This video was posted by a page called "eyeliner addict" And yeah people in the comments are just really not having it.

Like Trishia for example says "so if I shave my legs Or vag I can just glue it on my face?" To which I say Trishia Do you. The thing is as the girl applies the gel to her eyebrows, her eyebrows Don't look bad at the end, but I'm just really Unconvinced that it has anything to do with the little hairs that are in the gel But who knows. So let me wipe my eyebrows off and put some Eyelashes on them. All right, so it looks like her first step is just Chopping off bits of these fake eyelashes.

Does she chop them all up? She must right? This is just not enough hair There's just this is too slow. Okay. This is making your life easier I kind of feel like I don't have as many as they did. They only really showed like one tray of these little eyelashes But I feel like theirs was much hairier.

It looks like a really bad Sneeze. Is that how many nose hairs come out when you sneeze? So we have the exact same eyebrow gel that they showed in their video They have some type of extra dropper though to get it out of there so I'm gonna pop open the top and I'm gonna stick this syringe in. None of these steps were included in the hack by the way. All right, and then I'm gonna syringe the clear gel into our little pot.

Oh, yeah, that looks good. All right well
I think it's time to mix our gel up and Put it on my eyebrows. The thing is like maybe if you have sparse eyebrows you want to fill them in with things that look Legitimately like hair, but I just don't think that these really look like eyebrow hairs They're curly and wiry and... Pubie I know that there's hairs on my brush, but I don't think that they're coming off onto my eyebrow I will admit that my eyebrows are not like the most sparse but at least they match the color of the Eyelashes.

Because I feel like if you had lighter eyebrows this might look ridiculous. Ll right, so I think I've done both brows I don't think that they look like particularly bad You can't even really see the little hairs at all, and if you can they're just kind of like sticking out awkwardly It's possible that they may have thought this was a good hack But I also Think that they may have just thought it looked kind of gross and thought that they could get a bunch of Facebook comments about it And they were right. Kay, so this next hack is for eyeshadow, and I'm gonna be honest I feel like it might work But when I saw this I was just like Why?O this is a video Posted by this page called five minute crafts, its caption is op secret beauty hacks for the perfect image winky face You know what I'm talking about the perfect image. Lright so right in the beginning this person has Covered her face in pads.

Hat is uh not part of any of the hacks I don't think, that she's just sort of done that too artistically show you that pads are gonna Be involved in this video. So basically this woman is putting on eye shadow. She's getting fallout. It's terrible It's almost like a setup like an old-school infomercial It's like do you have a really hard time opening milk? And then now they're gonna show you the solution Which is to just put a straw in the side like joey tribianni my favorite is that she looks to the side sneakily before she pulls the pad out and then she cuts it up into pieces and sticks the pieces under her eyes.

I. Understand the idea of like putting something underneath your eyes to catch fallout, But does it have to be a pad? He people in the comments Don't seem to be loving It. Is no one gonna mention that pads are way too expensive to be using on your face everyday? The sticky adhesive That's supposed to adhere to panties should never go on your face. Listen Angie You seem like a sensible person that has no place in Facebook hack videos.

So um let's try this shall we? Alright so I'm gonna cut my pad as she does. I think my pads a little bit thicker than hers. Then I'm gonna take the Adhesive off and then stick this on the face. It's a good look I'm not sure about her pads, but my pads on my face right now only has adhesive like right in the middle of it, So I actually feel like fallout could still get underneath there.

All right. I'm going into some more vibrant colors Just to make sure we could really test the fallout caching capabilities. I don't really know what type of eye shadow look I'm going for right here. I'm just - putting colors on my face.

All right ready. I'm gonna take them off Oh, I do think that they caught some of the fallout. Cuz you can see that There's a little eye shadow specks sort of right there, so it did catch some of it - this little spot right here But as people in the comments said the expense of using pads under your eyes and also the fact that you have a pad Adhesive on your under eye skin every day makes us a pretty like not feasible hack all right So this next hack is a foundation application Hack, of which I feel like there were a lot in the last year and a half or so alright So this video is from a page called beauty hacks, and their caption is items at home that will save your   makeup routine. And the item they propose will save your Foundation is a balloon.

My biggest gripe with this hack is how they've cut it together, It seems like it doesn't work very well to begin with and then it cuts to her foundation being completely blended, So it makes me feel like she blended out her makeup with something else in between. Okay. I mean let's try it I'm gonna inflate this now Yes This is a tough balloon! Let me stretch this out a little bit Alright there we go hahah! A Beauty Blender! Alright ready? It makes a fun sound when it hits my face:) Alright clear first problem, besides the fact that the foundation isn't really soaking in, which is pretty much exactly What happened in the video, is that this balloon tip is round, And I can't really get in any crevice of my face, but this is fun. I could just do this for a while Oh, that's a good idea.

The balloon is more malleable than I had expected Alright, there seems to be a couple crevices that we just can't reach, So I don't think that her foundation was completely blended out by a balloon, But I would recommend putting a balloon on her face, because it's fun. I wouldn't call it a beauty hack, But it would be what I would call a fun evening. So this next hack is an example of what I'd call the hack gone too far. This video is called 9 hacks for perfect cat eyes, and this girl basically just takes any Item she can find with a straight edge, and puts it next to her eye.

Which seems to be okay when it's like tape are like a playing card. She then goes on to paint scissors with eyeliner and put them next to her EYE. The interesting things about these comments are that a lot of people are criticizing her eyeliner Which I actually don't find to be the problem, There are not enough people in these comments being like please don't put next to your eye. Anyway with that, Let's try it.

Which end does it look like she's using I think it's this end Yeah, it's a long pointy one so I think in spirit this hack is pretty- that just freaked me out Yeah, it just freaked me out. To me this hack is similar to like an eyeliner stamp where she actually Paints the eyeliner on the little edge, and then stamps it Stamps it on her eye to which I would say use anything else, but this. This is probably one of the Dumber things We've done on this channel. Alright Ready, I'm not ready.

I'm nervous mom .  Whoa That wasn't even good. It didn't come out very well. Which is a shame because I put my eyeball on the line I think I'm gonna have to try it again And maybe try and paint more of the scissor blade, thing is my scissor has a flat end right here, and so does hers It's not even like a point.

Yeah. I don't think that looks very good I'm just gonna do the other side just for good measure. Well. I mean that's better, but it's still terrible! Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this hack I don't think either eye is ideal and also putting a scissor next to your eye is not ideal So I would say in general don't do this one Okay, so this next hack is also from the Facebook page Brush And it is called four emergency makeup hacks Everyone needs to know.

So this one is like a few hacks in in this video And it's basically supposed to be Emergency lipstick. They put Elmer's glue and food coloring into a bowl, mix it together Then apply it to their lips, and let it sit for 10 minutes, and then peel it off. So I think basically the idea is that I would be staining my lips, which may work But I think my biggest issue with it is just like why would I have these things with me in a makeup Emergency? I feel like if you're you're in a pinch and you've got 10 minutes to spare try and see where the nearest CBS is I think that's number one on the list. Alright, and now let's put it on my lips all right Let me try and get a good coat of this on there.

I'm trying to get some butthole coverage as well I know I feel like a Barbie doll. So yeah, I'm gonna hang around for 10 minutes And then we're gonna peel it off .Alright, so it's been 10 minutes I can't really talk, but it's really solidified, and I think I hopefully I'm ready to peel it off Oh, yeah, that's a pretty good peel very snake skinny And I do think my lips look pretty pink actually. I do have a little bit of like extra Glue kind of like in the inner rim, butthole area but besides that I think that the stain did work, I just don't think that this is what one would or should do when presented with a makeup emergency. It doesn't seem like a good use of time or glue.

All right, so we've made it this far This is our very last hack This is a video from eyeliner addict And the caption is take your makeup off with shaving cream. Basically this girl rubs shaving cream all over her face And you know it sort of tries to show us that it's taking her makeup off Then she says but be careful around your eyes And then it cuts ahead to the eye makeup already being removed. So I suspect that this hack doesn't really work And they're just living off the cachet that like shaving creams a weird quirky thing to put on your face. So with that Let's try and take our makeup off.

Nope. I'm not sure. I put too much on I need help. All right.

Just give me one second I'm just gonna run to the bathroom and get rid of this extra stuff. So she basically just takes the cotton round and just swipes it down like this. I mean it looks like there's some makeup that came of.Mostly, I feel like I just took off the shaving cream You know? I'm gonna need a lot of cotton rounds for this. See I just don't see how this is helping anyone I think that the shaving cream is a little bit, itchy and it's also like weirdly drying? All right So it seems like we've reached the eyes She completely skipped this portion so um I guess just straight to the eye.

Is that working at all? I actually do think it's taking some of my eyeshadow off, but I'm not convinced It's doing anything for the eyeliner I think it's just sort of smudging it around. I would be at this for like a good 30 minutes before I was actually Makeup free. So I don't think I would call this a hack, and the fact that this is the only hack in this video is Worse, I think, it's not like a filler hack It's not like oh, we need fives like throwing in there there like this deserves a video Do you think we could cut ahead and then it would work? Ya just turn all the cameras off, I'll take my makeup off with the makeup wipe and then we'll re-roll. Okay So those were my facebook beauty hacks.

Out of all of these hacks There were definitely a couple that worked to a certain extent, But I would also say that none of them prioritized ease, convenience or common-sense over getting views shares and comments on their videos To be fair there are weird beauty hacks all over the internet But on other platforms like blog posts and YouTube videos the Creator has to at least try to explain Why they think the hack is helpful, but in these videos they're more like this is a ridiculous seeming method We're not going to explain to you Why this is happening and we're gonna bet on the fact that you're probably not gonna try it and call us out on it. Now I. Understand the plight of posting videos to Facebook They're basically trying to get people to stop scrolling on their feed and watch a video They didn't ask, for so these videos basically need to be as crazy as Possible to stand out. Which explains why these videos are pretty fun to watch and sort of out of the box But good beauty hacks they are not thank you guys so much for watching if you liked that video make sure to Shmash that like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to shmash that subscribe button a big shout out To Melinda mayhem for watching, thanks for watching, Melinda, and I will see you guys a next time.
