Instagram is plagued by dangerous ‘glitter overdose’

More is more, is the new rule when it comes to applying glitter to the face. The new makeup trend, which is spreading like wildfire on Instagram, involves applying glitter all over the face, even on the tongue. Experts, however, warn that it is not wise to put makeup on the tongue as it could lead to poisoning.

“A little gloss” has evolved into a total immersion of the face, body, and even the tongue in glitter.

The first to spark the glitter craze was Instagram makeup artist Katie Butt, who posted a video showing how she applies glitter all over her face.

Taking the glitter madness a step further was Jacinta Vuković, who dipped her tongue in gloss.

The shiny tongue of Jacinta Vuković from Australia quickly appealed to hundreds of her followers on Instagram, leading the glitter craze to move from eyebrows to the oral cavity.

Of course, the new trend of tongue makeup is dangerous, experts warn, concerned that glitter on the tongue acts abrasively, irritates the tissues of the oral cavity, and is an excellent transmitter of various bacteria. However, this does not prevent glitter-infected makeup artists from boldly stepping where no woman has gone before. Into glittery kisses. It is also quite possible that this trend will infect Instagram men.
