Some pretty weird trends have been taking over the beauty world lately. Bloggers haven't been able to find their chill when it comes to trying out bizarre beauty challenges because the internet is so intrigued by them. There was the 100 layers of foundation challenge (which turned into 100 layers of any product), the highlighter challenge, and now vloggers are doing their entire face of makeup only using liquid lipstick.
Shani Grimmond, a 19-year-old beauty vlogger based out of Brisbane, Australia, recently tried the challenge in a video that has since been viewed over 330,000 times.

Beauty vloggers Nikkie and Amy Macedo have tried out the stunt too, and they killed it.
This is how freaking flawless Grimmond's makeup usually looks:
But can she beat her face to perfection using only liquid lipsticks? She tried the challenge using mostly nude, brown, pink, and rose-gold liquid lipstick shades.
"I feel like it's going to be the biggest fail ever," she said. "I don't know how this is going to work. Let's just dive into it, EEEEEK!"
Foundation: She applied her foundation using Dose of Color's Liquid Lipstick in "Sand" with a fluffy powder brush. Tip: If you're up for trying this yourself, use a liquid lipstick in a shade that is the closest match to your skin tone.
"I feel like this is going to be so hard to take off when I'm done," she said. "I'm literally diving straight into the shower after this video. I don't want any breakouts tomorrow."
She admitted the liquid lipstick blended in better than she thought it would, but getting it to work as a foundation was not easy.
Blush: She swiped a small dash of Ofra's Liquid Lipstick in "Bel Air" on her cheeks and blended it out using the same fluffy powder brush. Tip: For blush, go for a super-pigmented liquid lipstick shade that has a hint of pink.
"This is the weirdest thing I've ever done, not gonna lie."
Highlighter: She took Kylie Cosmetic's Metal Liquid Lipstick in "Heir" and put it straight onto an eye shadow brush. She packed the liquid lipstick on top of her cheekbone and the tip of her nose. Tip: Choose a shimmery liquid lipstick (metallics are perf) so it adds a glow to your skin.
"I love a really intense highlighter anytime of the day so I'm just gonna go crazy with this one."
Eye shadow: She used another one Kylie Cosmetic's Metal Liquid Lipsticks in "King K," but this time using the actual lipstick applicator and applied it straight on top of her eyelid. Then, she went in with a fluffy eye shadow brush to lightly blend the color. Tip: Liquid lipstick dries fast, so make sure to blend quickly once you apply the shade.
She went in with Kylie Cosmetic's Liquid Lipstick in "Reign," which is a dark maroon color, to apply on her lower lash line.
Eyeliner: This was the hardest part, according to Grimmond. To attempt a cat-eye, she took a small angled brush and coated it with black liquid lipstick.
"I can't even do this with normal liner so I don't know why I'm even bothering to try this with liquid lipstick. Here goes nothing!"
Mascara: She dipped a spoolie brush into her black liquid lipstick to coat her lashes.
Brows: She ran what was left of the black lipstick lipstick on her spoolie brush through her brows to add extra definition and a light tint.
Lips: She went back to her nudish-pink shade, Ofra's Liquid Lipstick in "Bel Air," for her lipstick. "This is literally the only thing that's going to look normal on my whole face."
She finished off her full-on liquid lipstick glamour with falsies, a touch of Kylie Cosmetic's Metal Liquid Lipstick in "Heir" on the inner corners of her eye, and Dose of Color's Liquid Lipstick in "Sand" on the center of her lips.
"I literally just look like a tomato," she said. She looks gorg, IMO.
