In a bid to come up with new fashion trends, influencers and make-up artists routinely come up with innovative and creative hacks, which prove to be extremely useful.
However, in one such fashion fail, a woman named Briana Christianson went one step further and applied mehendi on her lips as a ‘lip stain’.
On Sunday, Christianson uploaded a video on TikTok in which she is seen applying mehndi with a brush on her lips. After she lets it dry for an hour, she peels the henna cover and proudly flaunts the orange henna tinge on her lips!
Check out her video:

Reacting to the experiment, netizens have expressed shock and disgust and pointed out how store-bought henna is not 100% organic and contain chemicals. Others warned how her lips would turn black as the colour intensifies and then eventually come off in patches.
Many also said that it’s bizarre to apply mehndi anywhere other than our hands, feet, and hair.
One user wrote, ”Btw there’s difference between Cultural appreciation and appropriation. We wear Henna/Mehndi on our Hand and leg on different occasions with Artistic design. If others wear it properly it’s totally fine. But Henna is DEFINITELY not for using on lips . At least wear it properly.”
Here’s how people reacted to it:
Btw there's difference between Cultural appreciation and appropriation.
