If you’re a makeup junkie, you must have heard of the Beauty Blender, or you probably already have one sitting on your vanity.


For those who don’t know, the beauty blender is essentially a cosmetic sponge applicator that is very useful for applying any sort of base makeup product, whether it is foundation, concealer, BB cream or powder.

Due to the natural and flawless finish it creates, beauty blenders have become an important part in many women’s daily makeup routine.


However, the beauty blender is not exactly a cheap product to own. The original Beauty Blender retails for RM99 at Sephora Malaysia.

We know, we know. Almost RM100 for a sponge?! We hear you.

Lately, many companies have come up with similar products to rival the original beauty blender. Others have also resorted to regular household items as a more affordable option.

But one particular beauty vlogger has taken it to a whole new level by introducing the hard-boiled egg method.

Yup. Hard-boiled egg!

Esther Gbudje, who hails from London, posted a video tutorial on Instagram demonstrating how she applied foundation with an actual boiled egg.

And by the looks of it, it actually worked pretty well!

EGG BLENDING SPONGE I have seen loads of beauty hacks using different things as blending sponge like ?, kitchen scourer, pads even condoms (I would have loved to try that but I would have to answer loads of questions from hubby lol) so I took it a notch by using a HARD BOILED EGG ? Sienna had a filled day laughing so hard she said 'oh Mummy you are crazy and I love it' lol. Well anyway did it work YES it did, would I use it again hmmmm MAYBE . Would you try this hack? Yes or No. What you think? Let me know what other Instagram Beauty Hack you have tried and it actually worked for you. Do enjoy the video.

So what do you think about this ‘new’ beauty tool? Would you try it for yourselves?

If using food as a beauty tool is a bit too much for you, here are some other bizarre items you can explore to replace the popular makeup tool (if you dare):

1. Sock

@mayratouchofglam had the genius idea of applying foundation with a sock! Just tried her beauty hack and I have to say. It's amazing!!! This was her idea not mine! Go to her YouTube channel to watch the full video of her trying this method out ? Products: a microfiber sock (works better than cotton, I think) @shophudabeauty @hudabeauty lashes in Scarlett #shophudabeauty #hudabeauty @anastasiabeverlyhills #dipbrow in taupe #anastasiabeverlyhills #AnastasiaBrows @ofracosmetics #ofracosmetics lipstick in hypno #beautyhack #vegas_nay #recent4recent #like4like #liveglam #makegirlz #makeupvideoss #makeupcoach #makeupclips #makeup #motd #wakeupandmakeup #videosfashions #tutorialsinspirations #makeupjunkie #makeuptutorials #anastasiabeverlyhills #AnastasiaBrows #brian_champagne #hacks #hairandmakeupdiary #laurag_143 #maquiagem #maquillaje

2. Bra insert

Is this the next beauty HACK?!! Tried out the latest hack to the silicone sponge, a BOOB BLENDER, to apply my makeup and loved it! The application was really smooth and the best part was it did not soak up any product making it a great alternative to a blender or a brush. #hudabeauty
