Beauty Trends Gone Wrong: 5 Times People Tried Beauty Hacks That Backfired

People go out of their way to try trendy beauty hacks. But what if they backfire? Well, here are a few hilarious moments where people tried these trends and got fooled. Take a look: 

‘Green’ Face Mask Before Interview Might make you Look Like Shrek

A piece of advice: Never try a colourful face mask before doing a patch test. Believe us, this just one piece of advice might change your life, or better to say, ‘Might Save Your Interview.’ A woman who goes by the name Kota shared an ordeal on the video-sharing platform TikTok where she showed the effects of chlorophyll marks on her face. Well, to say the least, she ended up looking like Shrek 10 minutes before her job interview. Sad, isn’t it?

Don’t follow DIYs blindly, as they might make you look like ‘A Mango’

Okay, ladies, be careful with home remedies. You might think they can work for you, but guess what? They can make you colourful than glowy. Lauren Jay Rennie, a Scottish TikTok influencer, decided to use turmeric to treat her breakouts using natural ingredients available in her kitchen. However, the hack went wrong, and she was left with an odd yellow pigment plastered across her face instead of a golden glow. We hope she might have learnt her lesson of reading the tips before following these remedies blindly.

Please don’t use Super Glue To Fix Your Hair

 If you wish to fix your hair before leaving the house, do that with a good hair spray rather than using super glue to style them. Well, Tessica Brown learned that lesson the hard way after she used a spray can of Gorilla Glue on her hair and found herself stuck — quite literally — with a single hairstyle. The lady described the initial superglue disaster in a super-viral TikTok video, then spent a week documenting her efforts to wash out the glue before a surgeon finally did it for her. 

Not Every Influencer’s advice can make you look Like The Kardashians

Oh, this lip plumping trend by the Kradarshians has ruined so many girl’s faces. Inspired by Kylie Jenner, to achieve luscious lips, a 12-year-old Lily Greenland put her mouth inside a small shot glass to use the suction to plump up her lips. She kept it for two days straight. And guess what? She got what she wanted, i.e. huge pink lips! The best part is, the child’s mother videoed her and said, ‘the result looked more like Pete Burns than Kylie Jenner.’

Men, Please Read the Instructions before Applying Any Product 

For this Scottish man, the black charcoal mask beauty trend went all wrong. John Meechan applied a black charcoal mask all over his face — even his eyebrows, upper lips and beard. Unfortunately, he didn’t realise how sticky it would be. Luckily, he documented his mask removal journey in a video, which no doubt was hilarious and went viral because he couldn’t take off the mask from his eyebrows and beard. Learn from him and never apply your peel-off mask on your hair!
