00:08Hi I'm Lyric and I'm Hannah. Today we're going to be using condoms instead of your
00:14normal beauty applicators. This is actually happening on the internet right
00:17now. People are saying that condoms absorb less makeup and give you a
00:22smoother finish so we're gonna put it to the test and see if this actually works.
00:30To start off I'm going to be using a beauty blender, no condom, on one side of
00:35my face and on the other side I'm going to wrap that beauty blender in a condom
00:39and use it to apply liquid foundation. And I have been given the daunting task of
00:45using two condoms on my face, one filled with flour and one filled with lotion to
00:50apply my foundation. Condoms please!
00:59Are they scented?
01:00Yes!
01:01Ooh!
01:03So we've pre-washed the lube out of these condoms.
01:08Oh my god.
01:09Alright, oh my god.
01:10Here we go.
01:10Okay.
01:11Okay.
01:17How's it going over there, Han?
01:19Great, Lear.
01:20It's great.
01:21I'm having a good time.
01:22Just putting flour in my condom.
01:25Ooh!
01:26I really can't believe that people do this.
01:29Like, why?
01:31Why?
01:32This takes so long.
01:35So I'm going to tie a little knot in my condom.
01:44So we're going to be just putting a little bit of foundation on the condoms to really
01:49test how far it'll go. So I'm using just a tip.
02:09I've got to say, guys, I'm pretty impressed that I only used such a little bit.
02:16Yeah.
02:17And it's not even on the condom.
02:20All the product is on your face.
02:21And not on my blender.
02:23And not on this.
02:25I think it looks pretty good.
02:26How's it feel?
02:27Is it smooth?
02:28Yeah, it feels really smooth.
02:29I mean, this honestly, like...
02:31Relaxing?
02:32If I were to close my eyes, I would not know that there's condom on my face right now.
02:36What would you think it was?
02:37I don't know.
02:38I don't know.
02:38It doesn't...
02:39Yeah.
02:40Okay.
02:41We are on to side number two.
02:43This time, I'm going to be using lotion in a condom to test out the foundation.
02:48And I'm going to be wrapping my beauty blender in this nice little condom and applying liquid
02:55foundation with that.
03:04Here I have my trusty beauty blender all safe and sound in her new little home.
03:11And we're going to just dip her in here.
03:19And here we go.
03:24How does it feel?
03:26Um, I don't know.
03:27I just feel like the latex with the liquid is not great.
03:33Like, it's not blending and it's feeling very, like...
03:38Like, it's not blending into my skin.
03:40It's staying on the surface of my skin.
03:47As you can see, like, this side of my face is, like, matte and then this side of my face
03:52is still shiny after I've dabbed a bunch of times.
03:54So, I can't say I'm here for this.
03:57All right.
03:58Now that I have my cute little lotion-filled condom, I'm going to do the same thing.
04:04I'm going to dab it into the foundation and just get a little bit on there.
04:09And I'm going to do this side of my face.
04:12Okay, this is definitely not the same effect because as I hold it, the lotion is moving.
04:17Oh, like a water bed on your face.
04:19It is a water bed on my face, exactly.
04:22Oh my gosh, this is not easy.
04:27Can you hear that?
04:31The squish?
04:33This is not as successful of an application, I don't think.
04:38Okay, now that all is said and done, tell me what you thought.
04:42So, traditional beauty blender worked the same as it always does, never fails me.
04:47The condom over the beauty blender, I have to say, I give it a C-.
04:52It did not help the foundation absorb into my skin and it took a lot of labor in order for
04:58me to get the foundation to actually match the other side of my face.
05:03So, sorry not using it.
05:05For me, I'm shocked by my experience.
05:08This actually wasn't that bad.
05:13This, on the other hand, was horrible.
05:15Every time that I would try and move it on my face, the lotion would move around.
05:19I don't think it really did anything.
05:20I don't think my foundation is blended properly.
05:23This worked.
05:24Would I ever sit and fill up a condom with flour?
05:28No.
05:29Number one, I don't have flour in my apartment.
05:31Number two, it's a waste of my time.
05:33It's just not convenient.
05:34It's not.
05:34Not for me at least.
05:35Yeah.
05:36You gotta get this guy out of here.
05:37He's, he's upset.
05:39Oh.
05:39All of that being said, it did save me some foundation.
05:43I barely had to use any, which was awesome.
05:46But not worth it.
05:47Nope.
05:48Condoms should be left in the bedroom.
05:51Or the park.
05:52Or the beach.
05:53Or just not.
05:54Not on your face.
05:56For me.
05:57Now that you guys have seen us put condoms on our face, there's really nothing else left
06:01to see.
06:01Thanks so much for going through that experience with us.
06:04We'll see you next time.
