Ten household objects just got a second job as makeup tools.

Forget the $40 blending sponge and the specialty brush set — the newest wave of beauty tutorials is raiding the junk drawer instead. TheThings Celebrity’s compilation “10 Amazing Makeup Hacks You Won’t Believe” walks through a run of tricks built entirely around items already sitting in most bathrooms and kitchens: spoons, coffee filters, panty liners, business cards, and candles. None of it requires a trip to Sephora.

• A kitchen spoon’s curved bowl and edge is used three separate ways: catching mascara smudges before they hit the skin, guiding a clean cut-crease eyeshadow line, and steering a precise winged eyeliner flick.
• Chilling the spoon first turns it into an under-eye tool for cutting down morning puffiness and inflammation.
• Coffee filters, panty liners or medical tape, and candle heat are repurposed respectively for blotting shine, catching glitter fallout under the lash line, and softening stiff pencil eyeliner into a gel-like texture.

The Spoon Does Triple Duty

The spoon is the workhorse of the whole compilation. Held against the eyelid, its curved edge blocks mascara from transferring onto the skin below the lash line — a fix for the smudging that ruins more eye looks than any other single mistake. Flip the same spoon around and its bowl becomes a template for a cut-crease, giving a sharp line between lid and brow bone without freehanding it. The tip of the spoon’s handle, meanwhile, doubles as a guide for the wing of a winged eyeliner, letting anyone trace a symmetrical flick against a fixed edge instead of eyeballing it in the mirror.

Cold Metal for Morning Puffiness

Before any of that, the video uses the same spoon chilled — pressed under the eyes to calm swelling and inflammation left over from a rough night’s sleep. It’s a low-effort fix that only needs a freezer and a few spare minutes, and it sets up smoother concealer application later in the routine since there’s less puffiness to blend around.

Business Cards for the Cat-Eye

For anyone who has ever botched a liquid liner flick, the compilation swaps the spoon for a business card. Held at an angle against the outer corner of the eye, the card’s straight edge gives liquid liner a hard, crisp line to follow, which is exactly what a cat-eye needs — sharp geometry, not a soft curve.

Spoons, coffee filters, panty liners, business cards, candles — ten hacks, zero specialty tools.

Blotting, Fallout, and Melting Wax

The rest of the list tackles problems that have nothing to do with lines or wings. Unbleached coffee filters stand in for blotting papers, soaking up excess facial sebum and shine without dragging foundation off the skin the way a tissue can. Panty liners or strips of medical tape placed under the lower lash line catch loose eyeshadow pigment and glitter before it settles onto the cheeks during heavier, more pigmented looks. And for pencil eyeliners that have gone stiff and difficult to glide, the video runs the tip briefly over a lit candle or lighter flame, melting the wax formula into a smoother, gel-like consistency that goes on without dragging.

Every hack in the video is built around the same pitch: save time, waste less product, and skip buying specialized tools for problems a spoon or a coffee filter can already solve. It’s the same DIY logic that’s driven other viral internet challenges and household-object tricks across YouTube — the kind of low-cost ingenuity that turned videos like the hardest tongue twister and World’s Largest Challenge! into shareable hits for the same reason: anyone watching can try it themselves five minutes later with stuff they already own.
