Beauty tutorials use a lot of weird products these days: condoms, socks, iphones, and so on. You name it — someone has probably tried it in the name of beauty.
But one pint-sized beauty vlogger is going viral for an especially creative technique: slapping a pad on her forehead. As in, a pad for your period. She's eight years old and hasn't ever seen a pad before, her older sister Jaiden Park explained on Twitter.
Jaiden tweeted out the clip and it pretty much instantly went viral.
Watch as her sister gently sticks the pad against her cheeks, upper lip, and chin to blot off excess powder, then carefully examines the pad as if looking for clues about how to use it. Satisfied with her blotting technique, she continues to stick it against her face, before deciding to press it against her forehead and leave it there.
People were obsessed with the technique.
And before you dismiss the idea of blotting with a pad, think about it! I bet it's actually a really effective means of removing extra product! This little girl is my hero.
