In case you haven't been on the internet the past couple of weeks, the newest "challenge" video is putting 100 or more coats of some makeup on your face. Beauty guru's all over have been doing this challenge, from 100 coats of nail polish, foundation, mascara and liquid lipstick. Then there's Jenna Marbles, who made fun of the challenge and did 100 coats of nail polish, foundation, spray tan, hairspray, liquid lipstick and fake lashes. If you haven't seen her video, click here to watch it, because it's the best one out of all of them.
I've watched all of these videos and all I have to say is: why? Why would someone willingly do that to their face? Putting 100 coats of foundation on your skin will ruin your pores and is pretty impossible to get off. Sleeping with one coat of foundation is enough to get you a huge zit on your forehead. Imagine 99 more coats and 99 more pimples. Talk about nasty.
100 coats of nail polish is absolutely disgusting. You look like you have a serious infection on your finger nails. That can ruin your nails, because rubbing nail polish remover on your polish mountain will not get the job done. You have to find a new way to take the mountain off and not completely destroy your nails. This specific challenge is basically "Yay, I did it to join the crowd but now I have to take this off so no one sees me like this in public."
100 coats of mascara. This one irritates me the most. Mascara is not cheap. When I go shopping for mascara, it is the most expensive thing I buy. Wasting the majority of your mascara on a stupid Internet trend is throwing your money to the wind. It's not pretty either. You look like a vampire and it's not cute.
This is one of the dumbest Internet trends that I can't help but watch it and it bugs me. I've done the 100 coats of liquid lipstick challenge because I was bored and I stopped around 75 because it's a waste of my money! We should be focusing our time on what's going on in the world and not what 100 coats of foundation looks on a human.
