A tutorial that has more than 67 million views on TikTok would demonstrate the effect of a simple make-up product to plump them up like after an injection session. The object of desire? Sephora’s Outrageous Intense gloss, a hybrid product between makeup and skincare, formulated with chili extract and hyaluronic acid.
If we are to believe the many “crash test” videos posted about her on the platform, all you have to do is apply it and leave it on for a few seconds before watching your lips swell under the effect of the ingredients (with some tingling that can be felt on the way).
