    Chloe Morello's inventive beauty trick

    Chloe Morello is a bonafide star in the YouTube beauty community. Not only is the girl pretty talented when it comes to contouring, highlighting and applying lashes like it ain’t no thang, but she has a quirky sense of humour, too.

    Case in point: her Kylie Jenner Bronze Glam make-up tutorial

    Chloe is happy to admit (and even does so in the vid) that she’s a big fan of the youngest Jenner’s beauty looks, so she decided to recreate one of them:

    So there Chloe was, seamlessly applying her eyeshadow as per ush…

    When suddenly she pulls out two large, white semicircles.

    If you can’t make it out already, the very resourceful Chloe cut up a sanitary pad (we wonder if it was a Carefree Original Liner?) to stick under her eyes to catch the fall-out from the loose powder she was about to use.

    And lo and behold, it actually worked.

    Once she peeled off the pads, they didn’t seem to remove any of the foundation she artfully applied and there wasn’t a trace of gold powder on her cheeks – meaning she could go about her business without having to do any annoying clean-ups.

    If you think about it, it’s actually pretty smart. How often have you tried to balance a tissue under your eyes while applying shadow only to have it flutter away? This way, you’ve got both hands at your disposable and well-protected cheekbones.

    Oh, and in case you’re interested, this was Chloe’s final look. Pretty spot on, right?

    If anyone knows where I can get some eyeshadow shields, please let me know. I’ll check Daiso next time I go there.

    I have seen Chloe used cut up panty liners in her videos. You used to be able to get eyeshadow shields, but I haven’t been able to get them for ages. I usually do my eyes before the rest of my face. If I’m going out I’ll use an eye mask. That will also act as an eyeshadow shield.

    I love the eye makeup!

    Lovely wedding pics of her too

    looks okay, the lip is a little off like some of the beauties noted

    Emma Ocean 18 Dec 2017 8:50 PM

    I alllllllways end up with eyeshadow on my cheeks so I should try this

    alice1908 8 Nov 2017 12:19 PM

    She looks amazing in this makeup

    Sweety7 1 Nov 2017 11:09 PM

    Eww..so weird to use a sanitary pad on your face. I would never try this.

    Shop A Everyday 11 Aug 2017 12:53 AM

    Handy idea, i find if you use good shadows they don't flake like this

    cosmoslyn 25 May 2017 12:12 AM

    they are a good size for a lot of things.

    Dilettante 23 Dec 2016 9:10 PM

    I really don't think I could bring myself to stick sanitary pads on my face

    ray_jay 23 Dec 2016 5:02 PM

    the eyeshadow is spot on love it but the lip liner is a bit off

    Miss19 16 Nov 2016 11:40 AM

    That is such a good idea

    Rebecca1772 15 Jul 2016 11:03 PM

    That's such a good idea, they're basically the same as those shadow shields but much more convenient using something you always have in your bathroom cupboards! And much cheaper too

    Very interesting article. Love reading things like these. Beauty heaven has some really great informative articles.

    i wonder if that glue for the sticky eyepads is bad for the eye!

    duality 4 Apr 2016 5:38 PM

    she reminds me a little of Angelina Jolie :) why not use what is on hand? I have all sorts of crazy alternative uses for my bathroom products

    annieleex 29 Mar 2016 12:48 PM

    haha never heard of this tip before!

    Jlgaddes 18 Jan 2016 10:23 AM

    very clever...........love her eyebrows!!

    Yohanna 28 Dec 2015 4:38 PM

    the idea is cool, for makeup

    Yohanna 28 Dec 2015 4:38 PM

    why girls do this pouting lip thing, it is scary ugly and dumb at the same time

    lynx 4 Nov 2015 3:07 PM

    That is a very clever and inventive idea, which I am sure I will be trying myself.

    TheUglyDuckling 2 Oct 2015 9:17 PM

    I wouldn't have thought to use pads. I tend to either do my eyes first and then put the rest of my face on, or I put excess powder under my eyes and then dust the excess away. Either method works, depending on what eye look I am going for.

    excellent trick, have used damp cotton swipes before, but not a panty liner. Very clever
