From brushes to beauty sponges, gone are the days when we just use good ol’ fingers to apply our makeup. The latest beauty fad to go viral has girls applying a full face with a bra insert.

Yep, you read right, a bra insert.

What gave birth to this bizarre beauty phenomena were people trying to find dupes for the Molly Cosmetics‘ SiliSponge applicator, which looks suspiciously like a boob insert. The SiliSponge claims to absorb zero product thus, causing zero wastage whilst still increasing blendability. These pads are more durable than your regular cosmetic sponges and are a breeze to clean. Hence, they don’t have to be replaced as often and are godsend for lazy girls.

S I L I S P O N G E * Use very very little product and that's the key! Build/stack if you need more coverage. * Use circular motion to spread and tap to blend and settle . Wasting products is history now cos, of course, it doesn't soak in a thing! Tried it today, and the foundation needed is literally just half the amount compared to directly using brush or sponge. Spreading product with it will take some getting used to, final blending can always be finished with oval brush or usual sponge (for example beautyblender), that means washing the oval brush or the sponge will be minimized and they will last a whole lot longer. It is ideal for people who don't like messy fingers during makeup. AND I bet you can imagine cleaning THIS APPLICATOR will literally take no more effort than rubbing it with a little soap and rinsing with some luke warm water. If you are a professional makeup artist, can you imagine how exciting it is that you can use it on one client/model, clean it with a makeup remover and sanitizing spray, and then you can use it on another client/model immediately just like that? Throwing away disposable sponge can totally be minimized!!!! . 🛍FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING🛍 www.mollycosmeticsshop.com . #siliconesponge #clearsponge . #mollycosmetics #matteliquidlipstick #liquidmattelipstick #trendmood #makeupsponge #wakeupandmakeup #makeupaddict #mua #makeup #makeupartist #vegasnay #입술연지 #매트립스틱 #口紅 #뷰티스타그램 #화장품 #코스메틱 #화장품스타그램 #beautyblender #blender #makeupsponge

Once again, we are left scratching our heads. This kickstarter garnered massive support and had people are buzzing over this new makeup applicator. You can expect new beauty hacks to emerge as a result of this. Who knows? We might start seeing girls apply their makeup with playdough (possible dupe alert?).

Turns out, these non-porous, silicone-type pads blend makeup like a dream. But then again, so do your fingers… and you have ten of them!
