Dunking your face in ice water? Seriously? This is what makeup hacks have come to now? I mean, who wakes up in the morning and thinks, ‘You know what? I’ll just dunk my fully made-up face into a bowl of ice water because TikTok says that’ll lock it in!’ How desperate do you have to be for that ‘natural’ look you’re practically freezing yourself into submission?
Honestly, I can’t think of a more absurd way to waste time. Imagine rushing through your makeup routine just to plunge your face into icy depths like you’re on the Titanic. Yeah, shrinking pores my foot – or nose in this case. Funny how shivering uncontrollably wasn’t mentioned here while talking about achieving that glass-skin finish.
I’m all for unconventional methods, but at the risk of frostbite? Come on. What’s next? Setting spray made from liquid nitrogen? Let’s see how many people actually maintain this charade without accidentally catapulting mascara confetti across their bathroom.
And if I’m being brutally honest, doesn’t it seem a tad counterintuitive to apply all that carefully blended foundation and then wage war with melting ice? Maybe it’s just me, but deliberately drenching in icy slush isn’t exactly my idea of beauty.
As if the world isn’t complicated enough, now we need snowball prep kits on our vanities! Actually caring about practicality is rare, but hey, it could save you from arctic misadventures.
Whatever.
