You'd Never Believe What This Woman Looks Like After Applying 100 Layers of Foundation
Today in bizarre beauty news: Swedish vlogger Josefin Lillakas took it upon herself to apply 100 layers of foundation on her face. "What am I doing with my life? I have too much free time," she joked.
And free time she does indeed have. Lillakas, who vlogs under the name Jeely, originally spent five hours applying 100 coats of mascara in this video, and was inspired to put 100 layers of foundation to the test after her mascara post's success. Since then, her foundation video has racked up over 201,000 views.
TBH, it's fascinating to watch all this go down. You literally get to see her take her foundation application from 0 to 💯, and then watch her set her face with a blow dryer (because 100 layers just don't dry on their own). Here's how the process goes down:
She starts with a bare, foundation-free face.
First layer:
Twenty layers in:"Well, at least it's full coverage," she jokes.
Forty layers in: "You don't really need to blend the foundation with your neck," she suggests. "Ain't nobody got time for that."
Cakey foundation hack: Use a blow dryer to set your foundation.
Sixty layers in: "This kinda' looks like a highlighter. It's greasy AF," she says.
Eighty layers in:
One hundred layers later! "I look flawless, huh?"
Um, that's A LOT of freaking foundation! And while it was entertaining to see it all being applied, I don't recommend layering on 100 coats of foundation to your skin - and neither would your dermatologist. Especially since the result is a cakey, super-unnatural look. That said, I have to say, I'm looking forward to the next layering video Jeely does because I'm sure it'll be *~mEsMeRiZiNg~* and captivate us all.
