Makeup sponges already come in weird shapes, but people still continue to find unlikely ways to blend makeup. Forget silicone bra inserts and putting BeautyBlenders in a condom—beauty vloggers are now using hard-boiled eggs.

This started when YouTuber Nadi, aka PopLuxe, came up with the “Project Object” challenge. Here, he asked his viewers to suggest objects he can use to apply his makeup with. The first item was a peeled hard-boiled egg. I wish I was joking while writing this.

The makeup application was surprisingly great. According to Nadi, the egg worked just as well as his regular BeautyBlender. Save for the fact that the egg also broke and crumbled in the process. (Cringe)

However, this weird trend didn’t stop there as other makeup gurus followed suit. Makeup artist and blogger Esther Gbudje also posted her version on Instagram. She told Allure, “The egg did give me the flawless look I was going for, and it doesn’t absorb any product at all.”

Sure, eggs are cheaper and more accessible than a makeup sponge. But it’s a waste of produce if you’re going to use these on a regular basis.
