Could this weird sushi ingredient act as a NATURAL lip filler?
Full, pouty lips have become a one of the most covetable facial features. Call it the Kylie Jenner effect.
While some of us choose to go down the cosmetic surgery route to achieve the perfect pout, one beauty blogger has a natural approach to achieving a voluminous lip look.
Taking the fate of her lips into her own hands, Farah Dhukai applied wasabi spice to provoke her pout into inflating.
The video has since racked up more than 6.2 million views in four days.
"Natural lip fillers, get soft plump full lips without needles or sucking on cups or objects," promises the beauty blogger.
"As you may have noticed, I have VERY wrinkly lips and its cold AF in Toronto so now they're super dry too. This one trick is a great way to get plump lips that look like you've had fillers."
"They'll be extremely soft, wrinkles will be filled in, they'll have a natural pink colour, and they'll be so plump ppl will think you've had them done."
The social media star, who already has over 4 million followers, is known for her DIY beauty inventions including clay hair masks and home brewed matcha skin cleanser.
While there is no scientific evidence that supports wasabi's pout plumping capabilities, it's a lot cheaper than fillers. Just make sure to do a patch test first.
