Every make up lover has made the age-old mistake of spending HOURS on their make up routine only to come to the horrific realisation that they still have to get dressed, threatening to ruin a work of art greater than the Mona Lisa. Well, fear not, because one Twitter user has come up with this simple and utterly genius solution.

Using only a plastic bag, Twitter user Eva Marie showed she had brains as well as perfectly preserved beauty. The tweet quickly went viral, clearly striking a chord amongst fellow make up enthusiasts.

Whilst some girls have been stretching their clothes in an effort to preserve their looks...

Shit, I usually just end up stretching the collar of my shirt 🤦🏼♀️

Others have been mourning the loss of their on fleek brows...

Every time I put my shirt on it messes up my eyebrows NEVER AGAIN

However, whilst a big hit amongst many, others were quick to point out the obvious..

why don't you just get dressed before you do your makeup & just put something over your clothes?? 🤔

Quick to defend her makeshift make up hack, Eva Marie responded with this...😂

No I use the bag it hopes that one day my shirt will get stuck & I'll die then when the ambulance comes my face will be beat & I'll look A1

Maybe that extra 5p for a plastic bag is worth it after all...💁💁💁
