1/5
To draw your eyeliner
The spoon can be used to create a cat eye. Simply place the handle of the spoon near the outer corner of your eye for better precision. The edge of a spoon can be used to map out the inner shape of a cat eye.
2/5
To apply mascara
Use the curved edge of a spoon to lift your lashes. Not only will you be able to tight-line in this position but it will allow mascara application to be more precise and closer to the roots.
3/5
Removing excess lipstick
Instead of getting your fingers dirty with lipstick stains, use the edge of the spoon to clean up any excessive lipstick product.
4/5
To contour
Using the bottom edge of a spoon as a guide, apply bronzing powder to the hollows of your cheek to create the illusion of cheekbones.
5/5
Fix broken makeup
Spoons will also come in handy to fix broken makeup. Simply use the spoon to press your makeup into place once you've mixed the powdered mess with some rubbing alcohol.

Whoever said that spoons were just for eating?

There many beauty tools available in the market to accompany the wide array of products available. However the best tools aren’t always the ones available for purchase. They may just be items easily found around your household – like your spoons for example. The spoon is a great beauty multitasker which can be used to up your beauty game. From prepping your lashes for mascara application to applying eyeshadow, you’ll be surprised at how handy this product is for beauty and skincare needs.

Speaking of skincare, did you know that you can use frozen metal spoons to reduce eye puffiness? Simple place two metal spoons in the freezer at night before sleeping. When you are up in the morning, place the back of the spoons under your eyes. Slowly increase the amount of pressure placed and move the spoons from inwards to outwards. Be gentle while doing so as the skin around your eyes is delicate.

Now that your eyes are well prepped, you can use the same spoon to create many beauty looks. Head over to the gallery up top for 5 ways to use the spoon for your makeup needs.
