Pizza face: Seven weird beauty hacks trending right now

People will do just about anything in the pursuit of beauty and those in the industry are the biggest offenders. It’s the nature of their job to try everything. Many women (and men) part with hundreds of dollars every year to scoop up the latest skincare products and cosmetics. But sometimes the best beauty remedies can be found in our kitchen, or even inside a pizza box (we’re not joking). From baking powder to pizza grease, magical all-purpose elixirs (the latest beauty buzzword) and odd beautifying contraptions, here are some of the downright weird and wacky beauty hacks trending now.

Pizza grease

Seventeen beauty writer Kelsey Stieglan caused quite a stir on social media last month after posting a video of herself removing her matte lipstick with her lunch. It was while teeth-deep in cheese and pepperoni – not the most obvious setting for a lightbulb beauty moment – that she discovered pizza grease to be the most effective matte lipstick remover ever.
