If you've never heard of Beetlejuice lips, squirting your foundation into a cup of water or doing your makeup to make yourself look blisteringly sunburnt, you clearly aren't on TikTok. Say what you will about the video-sharing app, but it sure does produce a constant stream of new ideas when it comes to beauty.

For example, the latest Gen Z skincare trend - the morning shed - has thousands of women all around the world sleeping in sellotape to reduce their double chin and lathering their faces in silicone face peels. But many have warned that, as well as making for an incredibly uncomfortable night's sleep, some elements of the bizarre routine could pose a risk of 'suffocation'.

Elsewhere followers have also been treated to tutorials that see a woman applying pumps worth of foundation on her face, as well as seeing another creator lather on lime green lipstick to mimic a famous movie character. It would appear that the wackier the better as it is the less conventional methodologies that rack up millions of views on social media.
