Yikes!
The Dubai-based beauty blogger, Manal, received heat on Instagram this week for a beauty blender hack. The blogger trained through Huda Kuttan’s masterclasses has defended herself for the criticism that she has received. Instead of a traditional beauty blender, the blogger used a chilled marshmallow to apply her makeup. ” I kid you not, it actually blended well! I was so shocked, but I kept my marshmallows in the refrigerator which is why they were hard enough to blend my makeup effortlessly,” said Manal. The video which has now received over 700,000 views received criticism from viewers such as, “It’s food. Do you influence your followers to waste food? Or you do it for the likes and views?😷 It’s so irritating ppl can’t find food to eat, and you are doing this for likes and views”.
Manal immediately edited the post to defend herself against viewers who thought that she had taken beauty hacks too far. “You guys really need to chill. Stop taking everything so seriously. No one uses this on a daily basis. This is just for fun. Literally using a single marshmallow doesn’t cause world hunger or famine. Marshmallow isn’t even real food,” said Manal.
In a world of crazy beauty hacks, where do you stand with food as a beauty tool?
