Joseph's Machines is dedicated to coming up with "useless" inventions and has turned his attention to the instant makeup applicator. He has been keeping his fans up to date with developments on his Facebook page.

The invention mimics the efforts of Homer Simpson in 'The Simpsons' episode 'The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace' where the character invents an instant makeup gun that shoots women in the face with beauty products.

Joseph has received support for his strange contraption as some have urged him to perfect the device.

One social media user wrote: "Oh god yes. I take the prototype. No matter how bad it is... It won't be worse than my attempts of putting makeup on."

Another added: "Still better than some of my dark morning attempts..."
