Blending makeup with product packaging from @skylerreneee

The creator undertakes a makeup challenge suggested by a viewer, where she must use only the packaging of each product to blend it. She strategically selects products with built-in applicators, starting with her eyebrows and primer. She encounters difficulty with her foundation, which has a sponge that applies too much product, forcing her to use the cap to blend. She then uses a contour stick with a built-in brush to fix the foundation and apply contour, followed by a low-pigment blush and a concealer with its own applicator, before teasing a part two for powder products.

Transcript excerpt

I'm doing a full piece of makeup, but I have to use the packaging to blend it out. I tier to be strategic with this and pick products that make it really easy to blend it out with the packaging. So first we have the e. L. F. Brow sculpt, and I'm going to apply it with the brush like normal. Then we yes the packaging to shape the brows. I don't even really like this brow gel. It doesn't really last all day on me, but I feel like it was the best for this challenge. So far, though, the brows look amazing. We're off to a great start. The Revive Glow rank Sculpt Primer would have been perfect for this, but I ran out. Next best thing is the Revive Blurring Primer. You apply it and blend it in with the metal applicator. It feels incredible, like a cooling massage. It's taking everything in me to not just use my fingers to to help me blend this out.
