Ten drugstore-aisle staples are quietly replacing half the tools in a makeup bag.

Before spending another dollar on specialty applicators, curlers, or de-puffing gadgets, it’s worth raiding the kitchen drawer and the medicine cabinet first. A rundown making the rounds online, “10 Everyday Items Used For Perfect Makeup!”, walks through ten common household objects that stand in for professional beauty tools — no trip to Sephora required. The tricks range from lash-curling with a spoon to de-puffing eyes with crushed pain relievers.

• A spoon’s convex side can curl lashes when pressed against the eyelid, mimicking a traditional lash curler.
• A business card slipped behind the lashes catches mascara before it smudges onto the lid.
• Bobby pins, warmed briefly with a hairdryer and cooled before use, work as an emergency lash curler substitute.

Eye Fixes Hiding in the Junk Drawer

The eye-area tricks make up the backbone of the list. Cotton swabs handle the detail work — smudging eyeliner, cleaning up stray marks, and dabbing on precise amounts of product along the lash line. For curling, the video points to two unlikely substitutes: a spoon, used by pressing the convex side against the eyelid and pushing lashes against the curve, and bobby pins, heated with a hairdryer, cooled slightly, then held gently against the lashes to set a curl.

Mascara application gets its own fix, too. Holding a business card flat behind the lashes creates a barrier that catches excess product, preventing the smudging and transfer that usually ends up on the lid or under the brow bone.

A spoon’s convex edge, pressed against the eyelid, does the same job as a lash curler pulled from a makeup bag.

De-Puffing With Ice, Tea, and Pain Relievers

Several of the hacks target puffiness and dark circles before makeup even goes on. Ice cubes run over the face ahead of application are credited with minimizing pores, cutting down puffiness, and leaving skin looking dewy. Tea bags get the same treatment for the under-eye area specifically — soaked in water, placed under the eyes, and left for about five minutes to reduce swelling and dark circles.

The most unexpected entry on the list involves crushing pain reliever tablets and mixing them into eye cream, a trick pitched as another way to bring down puffiness and eye bags. It’s the kind of tip that sounds improbable until it’s demonstrated on camera, which is exactly the appeal driving this kind of hack roundup across social feeds.

Skin, Lips, and Multi-Purpose Fixes

Beyond the eyes, the list covers the rest of the routine. Tissue paper blots oil off the face to stop makeup from sliding or “melting” throughout the day. A clean toothbrush exfoliates the lips, prepping them for smoother lipstick application. And coconut oil pulls triple duty — removing makeup, moisturizing skin, and taming frizzy hair — making it the most versatile item on the entire list.

Taken together, the ten items lean on things most people already own, which is the core pitch of these kinds of viral beauty breakdowns that keep circulating online.

None of these swap-ins require a special trip to the store, which is precisely why the list keeps resurfacing — a spoon and a business card cost nothing extra, and they’re already sitting in most kitchen drawers waiting to be pressed into service before the next full face of makeup.
