I wanted to give my pout a boost so tried the viral fake tan lip hack – I looked like a teenage boy growing a moustache
A BEAUTY fan who tried to recreate the fake tan lip liner hack has dubbed it the ultimate fail.
Ida Pilups wanted to enhance her pout with minimal effort and the worry of her lip liner smudging.
Following a viral trend on Tik Tok, she decided to line her lips with a make-up brush and fake tan.
The app’s latest beauty hack was popularised for cutting a step out of your makeup routine.
It has also been promoted as a more durable – and natural – solution to lip liner.
It consists of taking a thin make-up brush, dipping it into some fake-tan and carving out a lip line with the product.
Beauty whizzes promoting the trend recommend tracing around your lips the same way you would with a liner.
You leave the fake tan to sit for a while as you do when it’s on your body.
Once wiped away, you’re meant to have a defined lip line and a plumper pout.
However, the hack isn’t as charming as it sounds.
Content creator Ida asked people to “send help” after her attempt left her looking like a teenage boy trying to grow a moustache.
She shared herself outlining her pout before realising it was a mistake.
The brown ring around her lips did everything but mimic lip liner.
Recording the experience, she penned: “Realising the fail.
“Hello teenage boy with his first moustache.”
Ida’s comment section was flooded with laughing face emojis.
Others thought it looked like she had been eating chocolate ice cream and forgot to wipe her mouth afterwards.
The hilarious video has garnered over 75,000 views.
Among Ida’s other videos is the viral fake tan contouring hack, hair care tips and advice on how she achieves a “face lift” with make-up.
