Some DIY beauty trends are pure genius. The #KylieJennerChallenge is definitely not one of them.
Teens around the U.S. and even abroad are posting photos and videos of themselves trying to get the young celebrity’s superplump lips, by sucking on the lid of a small jar.
The results are terrifying.
The bruising from the suction can indeed puff up your smackers, but the effect is more grotesque than chic. The bruising can be very severe and even cause tearing, experts say.
In some cases, the glass jar can even break, causing serious injuries, reports Pop Sugar.
Dendy Engelman, a dermatologic surgeon, told Seventeen the fad is very concerning. “There is potential risk for scarring and permanent disfigurement with repeated attempts.”
That hasn’t stopped teens from trying it out and posting the results online.
“Y’all doing something wrong,” said Twitter user @highonlaurmani, posting a side-by-side comparison of the results.
“I screwed up,” says another young Twitter user, sharing a pic of her severely swollen pout.
Like everything Kardashian-related, Kylie Jenner’s lips have stirred heated debate online since they started appear much plumper last year. The 17-year-old has insisted it’s all due to artful use of lip liner, and that she hasn’t had any surgical procedures.
