The pout that launched an unfortunate hashtag (Picture: Kylie Jenner/Instagram)
Although Kylie says she’s never had any work done, her lips have become visibly fuller in recent years.
And the look has inspired an alarming new trend for DIY lip jobs, carried out using bottle lids.
You put the lid over your lips and then suck out all the air, causing them to swell up.
And the results are, erm, pretty painful looking.
Others quickly took to Twitter to express their concern and incredulity over the hashtag.
Stop with that kylie jenner challenge it's so gross😷

Brittany Forster admits she’s a cautionary tale (Picture: Brittany Forster)
Sadly, bottle lips aren’t a new phenomenon.
In February, Aussie student Brittany Forster’s lip-job fail went viral after she showed off the less-than-flawless results.
Yrja has advised others not to try the look, as have cosmetic surgeons (Picture: Facebook)
After hearing Yrja’s story, Cosmetic surgeon Pordiis Kjartansdottir strongly advised others not to try the DIY trick. ‘I can definitely say that this would be dangerous even just to try it, and especially somebody does it more than once,’ she said.
She warned: ‘The lips turn blue because blood fills up and they could easily become infected and lose all sensation.
‘It is a really dangerous stunt and I’d advise strongly against anybody trying it.’
In short, don’t try this at home kids. Because it’s dangerous and, let’s face it, it looks absolutely ridiculous.
