Some of the best multipurpose beauty tools won’t be found in your favorite cosmetics store. In fact, we’ve found some incredibly smart tools right in our kitchens. Spoons are useful (very useful) for consuming soups and ice cream, but they actually have a number of beauty uses, as well. Here's proof.
Create a Winged Cat Eye
If you’re ready to finally get your winged cat eye technique down to a science, this tip is for you. Line up the spoon’s handle with your lash line, and use it as a stencil to draw a crisp upwards wing, says Miranda Mendoza of SlashedBeauty.com. Then, flip the spoon so that the upward curve connects the end of the straight line and the middle of your lash line. Trace it to create the upper outline for your cat eye. Color it in, and you're done!
Keep Mascara from Smudging
Use a spoon when applying mascara to keep eye makeup pristine. Spoons have the perfect shape to cover your upper lids to avoid messing up the eye shadow you worked so hard on, says Kim Laudati of Kim Laudati Skin Care. Simply hold it in place, and glam up your lashes.
Fix Your Foundation
For a quick fix to smooth foundation over fine lines, take a chilled spoon (not frozen, or it’ll stick to your skin), and slowly run it along fine lines, following the direction of the line. Repeat a few times, then immediately apply your foundation. This helps to temporarily “flatten” and smooth your skin so foundation won’t get caked up in those lines and creases, says Laudati.
Beat Bad Breath
Try scraping your tongue twice daily, says Kyle Stanley, cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills. You should do it in the morning to remove bacteria buildup and once in the evening to get rid of food particles and bacteria that has accumulated in your mouth all day. Spoons have a perfect design that is strong enough to remove bacteria from the tongue without harming it, says Stanley.
Curl Your Lashes
Have you ever gone on vacation only to realize you’ve left your trusty lash curler at home? Fear not: Just call room service for a spoon to get the job done. Turn the spoon horizontally, and sandwich your lashes between your thumb and the rounded edge of the spoon and curl from the root, says Lori Leib, Creative Director of Bodyography. Once lashes are curled, put the round scoop of the spoon over your lid, and apply mascara, which will keep the mascara from smudging onto your lid. Try blow drying the spoon to add heat for some extra lift!
Contour Your Cheeks
Apply the hollow inside of your spoon against the apple of your cheek. Using the bottom edge of the spoon as your guide will take the guesswork out of contouring the hollow of your cheek.
