The internet is full of makeup tips, and people often try them out, but some methods can lead to harmful consequences.
A female influencer from Delhi, India, sparked online outrage after sharing a video showcasing her unconventional lip-plumping technique.
In the viral video on the photo and video-sharing app Instagram, Shubhangi Anand is seen using green chilies to plump her lips. The video has garnered over 22 million views.
The Instagram video shows Shubhangi Anand cutting a green chili in half and rubbing it on the inner part of her lips. Despite experiencing visible discomfort, she continues rubbing the chili on her lips and later groans in pain.
In the caption, she asks viewers if they would like to try it themselves.
However, the video has left many users disturbed and concerned, with numerous people criticizing it as a reckless and potentially harmful beauty hack.
The video has also sparked a heated debate about the safety and precautions of using green chilies as a lip plumper.
One user commented, “This is an inappropriate way to achieve unrealistic beauty standards,” while another remarked, “People will do anything to get famous on the internet.”
