One of my biggest social media guilty pleasures is watching beauty guru Huda Kattan test out viral makeup trends on Instagram.

The first beauty hack I wanted to try out was submerging my foundation in water before applying it with a brush.

The viral method made the foundation cling to my brush and the water made the application more difficult.

Kattan said the technique works, adds luminosity, and reduces transfer, but is also complicated and wasteful. I disliked it.

Kattan also recommends her followers apply their concealer in an F-shape below their eyes and to the side of their nose.

A hack I did love was Kattan's tip to draw a small triangle of concealer beside your nostrils to avoid creasing.

Kattan gave her stamp of approval to a trick where you apply highlight and contour to the same makeup brush and pull it down your nose for instant definition.

The single-application contouring trick created an unhelpful mess on my face that took me extra time to correct, but it may have been my fault.

I was skeptical that using eyeshadow as a long-lasting lip liner would work because it seemed quite drying, but Kattan said it was "so beautiful."

Using eyeshadow as a lip liner was as gorgeous as Kattan claimed. It became my new favorite hack and one I'll continue to use.

I was intimidated by the Kattan-approved makeup hack to use black eyeliner to line your lips and it looked as ridiculous as I expected.

Even Chanel lipstick couldn't redeem the appearance of my eyeliner as a lip liner, which was the boldest beauty tip I tested.
