Quick, what’s the most useful tool in your makeup drawer? Did you answer with your favorite brush, eye shadow, or mascara? What if we told you that the most useful tool isn’t even in your makeup drawer? That’s right; the Swiss Army Knife of makeup is actually kept in the kitchen and is used to eat cereal. The spoon is also a multi-purpose tool for many beauty techniques, most of which you have probably never tried.

Although it may sound a little crazy, the spoon is quite the obvious choice for beauty tools. Any old spoon will do, so don’t worry about breaking out the fine china.
