Yep, there's already a fidget spinner makeup tutorial

Beauty Blenders are SO out.

Fidget spinners are taking over the world, and there's no stopping the invasion.

It's not enough that they toy has crashed nail art, baked goods, kids' haircuts, and even porn, but it was only a matter of time before the ADHD coping gadgets showed up in the makeup world.

James Charles, the controversial first male CoverGirl, is the Instagram makeup artist responsible for the spinner's introduction into the beauty universe. He created a contour tutorial, but instead of using a Beauty Blender or brush, he used a fidget spinner.

After applying a foundation base, Charles uses one side of the spinner to apply highlight and the other to apply contour. He then blends using a boring ol' Beauty Blender. We were really excited to see him apply his makeup with a spinning fidget spinner, but alas.

We have to admit, he does get some pretty defined lines. But if we want the same, that means having to buy a fidget spinner, and then world domination would be complete.

Beauty trend lovers: resist! For the sake of humanity, use a brush!
