With all the beauty guru drama rocking YouTube and the constant barrage of sponsored posts on Instagram, the fatigue of a bloated homogenous beauty sphere has set in. But then, right on cue, in comes TikTok to shake things up (and mostly confuse us).<\/p>\n

For those at the *ahem* far end of the millennial spectrum, TikTok, a microcosm as weird as it is addictive, is an app where people share short videos of themselves lip-syncing, dancing, and creating skits and other content we\u2019re not too sure how to explain – most confusing of which are all the weird beauty trends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They\u2019re different from what\u2019s on Instagram or YouTube, because they\u2019re not necessarily things many people should be replicating. While every video’s objective may be to “improve” one’s appearance, the means to achieve it seem at best, questionable and at worst, seriously bad for you. Obviously,that means we end up binge-watching them for far too long. Here are some of our favourites.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Filing your teeth\u2026 with a nail file<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rings truly like nails on chalkboard, doesn\u2019t it? Using a nail file, you can shave and smooth ridges on your teeth to give them a more even appearance. The results, while impressive, come at a price; namely deteriorated enamel and tooth sensitivity for life. Hurrah.<\/p>\n

Literally ripping your muscle to get dimples<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you thought the internet\u2019s love of freckles had reached ridiculous heights, you should see its love of dimples. The dimple trend began with the \u2018dimple challenge\u2019, i.e. people showing off their dimples, which led to people drawing fake ones on\u2026 which then snowballed into people literally damaging their faces to get actual dimples. Apparently, if you rub the end of a pen on your cheek vigorously enough, it will cause breakage within the muscle to leave a small ridge. We\u2019ll pass on testing this one out.<\/p>\n

Using nail glue to glue gems to your teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

We may be seeing a (disturbing) trend here; using nail paraphernalia on your teeth. Apply a dab of nail glue to your canine, pop a little gem on there, and you\u2019re good to go\u2026 straight to the dentist for that tooth rot you\u2019re about to experience.<\/p>\n

The fox eye look<\/strong><\/p>\n

This trend combines all the glory of trying to look like Kendall Jenner and also like you’ve had a facelift, but without you actually having to under the knife. Shave off the ends of your brows to the arch i.e. about a third of your brow. You should now have straight lines for eyebrows. Use a product of your choice to draw in the ends of your eyebrows to straight points. Et voil\u00e0.<\/p>\n

The nose job, but not really<\/strong><\/p>\n

To mimic all the posts where people show off their nose jobs (yes, that\u2019s a thing on TikTok \u2013 it\u2019s titled \u201chey yo, nose job check\u201d) but without actually getting a nose job, people have taken to using clamps to compress their noses for 30 minutes at a time. We\u2019re not too sure about the results though.<\/p>\n

Homemade lip plumper<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one was actually suggested by a doctor, so it\u2019s probably safe to try at home (though we don’t recommend it). Probably. Dr Tony Youn recommends adding a couple drops of food-grade peppermint oil to lip gloss to help plump lips. Pro tip: if it stings, you\u2019ve used too much.<\/p>\n
