A bizarre new beauty craze is seeing people glue their top lip to the skin below their nose, apparently giving the illusion of a fuller pout.
A clip of the technique reveals a young woman applying glue to her philtrum (the area of skin between the top lip and nose) before pulling up her top lip and pressing it to stick to the adhesive.
After letting go, her lip stays fixed in place, sort of giving the appearance of a fuller pout.
The video was originally posted to TikTok, but has since gone viral on Twitter, with many sharing their confusion about the new trend.
Health warnings
Unsurprisingly, as with many of the recent viral beauty crazes, this one certainly comes with risks.
While it isn’t known the type of glue used in the clip, one of the main concerns would be using super glue to stick down your lip, which is a major faux pas for your face and skin.
According to consultant pharmacist, James O'Loan at www.doctor-4-u.co.uk using super glue on your skin could lead to some pretty nasty consequences.
"Super glue is not usually capable of causing serious harm to skin but it can easily damage it if not removed properly,” he explains.
