While everyone is still recovering from the bizarre fact that a picture of an egg beat Kylie Jenner's photo introducing daughter Stormi to the world for the title of most-liked photo on Instagram, makeup vlogger and M.A.C.-collab favorite Patrick Starrr seized the moment. Earlier this week, he posted a video in which he turned himself into said celebrity egg.
"I am the egg," Starrr wrote in the description of his nearly eight-minute YouTube video. "I've been calling myself a damn egg for so long and I thought I would officially have an egg tutorial inspired by the world record egg on Instagram that has beat the one and only Kylie Jenner in the amount of likes on the first and only photo posted. Lol." And he does, indeed, have viewers laughing out loud because it's easily one of the silliest tutorials he has ever posted.
Starrr starts off the look by covering his brows with a glue stick, followed by Ben Nye banana powder. "If you want to be an egg, this is very important," he tells viewers. (We'll take his word for it.) After covering his face with a base of loose powder, he applies a Kryolan foundation stick in the shade FS 24 — he felt that it was the closest shade to that of the record-breaking egg — while coming up with conspiracy theories about who's behind the egg account.
"If I was a egg, what powder would I use?" Starrr contemplates in a voice that arguably sounds like what an egg would sound like if eggs could talk. After setting with a M.A.C. powder, he wraps his head in gauze, takes his "very inexpensive Dior Air Flash" foundation, and sprays it on the gauze to match his now golden-brown skin. And voila! Starrr bears a striking resemblance to the Jenner-usurping chicken ovum.
Although Starrr's tutorial hasn't reached the level of views or likes that the egg photo did, it has already received hundreds of thousands of views and sparked comments like "This video was so eggxtra," and "This cracked me up," so at least we got some terrible puns out of it.
