Popular YSL brooch worn on jacket and jumper, recreated with an affordable DIY hack at €40 instead of €450.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to a designer piece for less than fifty euros that is not, I repeat: not – sold out, you have my attention immediately. It’s about the following: the mega-popular YSL brooch. And buying it? You don’t do that in an expensive designer street, but just in the beauty department. Wait, what? Yep.

This is about a small DIY project for which you need a YSL palette (eyeshadow, blush, or highlighter). And okay: a little needle, a brooch pin, and good glue are also handy. According to various TikTokers and Instagirls, you could pry the logo off your makeup box and then transform it into a fancy designer brooch. Below you can see how easy it is, and especially how incredibly cool it is. And all from just about €40 instead of the real deal at €450. Seriously: who wouldn’t want that? It’s really a fun idea, right?
