Huda Kattan [1] is one of the biggest beauty influencers in the world, so when she recommends an affordable product, we pay attention. In a recent blog post [2], the beauty guru praised Muji Thin Cotton Swabs [3] ($3) as her must-have beauty tool.
She explained that these cotton swabs are ideal for perfecting your makeup because they're so narrow. If you're suffering from a zit, Huda recommends dipping one of these swabs into your concealer and covering it that way for a more hygienic application method. Because you aren't going to reuse the swab, you prevent spreading bacteria around your face.
Another genius tip Huda shared was to dip a swab into some moisturizer or micellar water and swipe it along the side of your eyeliner, like an eraser, to perfect the wing. This method will give you a sharp line every time without ruining the rest of your makeup.
If you aren't familiar with Muji's products [4], your life is about to change. While the Japanese retailer is known for its affordable and minimalist home basics and stationery, there isn't a better place from which to get innovative beauty tools and practical (and pretty!) storage for your massive makeup collection.
