Beauty vlogger wants you to apply your makeup with a condom

Beauty blenders are having a moment right now. But some sponges can prove far too absorbent when you're putting on your foundation.

Beauty vlogger Laila Tahri thinks she's found the perfect solution for that and it comes in the form of a condom. Yep, a condom.

In her tutorial, Tahri tears open the wrapper before washing the condom, which she says is important because it has "a lot of this stuff on it". Then Tahri puts her beauty blender inside it and places some foundation on the condom.

Then, she begins dabbing dots of foundation on her face with the condom and using it to blend her makeup. "It blended out my foundation so beautifully!" says Tahri. Err, we'll take your word for it.
