Did you know a girl who did her entire makeup using only drawing markers? Her name was Emily, and she was from Washington. She got sick of putting on makeup every damn morning and wiping it off every night. She wanted to just wake up already looking cute, so she grabbed a set of bright markers from the store, found the sickest makeup look online, and straight up drew it on her face. Filmed the whole thing and dropped it on TikTok. And yeah, that vid's still out there if you search marker makeup. At first, she was glowing with likes. Her friends were hyping up her perfect winged eyeliner, but one day, a friend noticed tiny red dots around her eyes. Then they started popping up near her mouth, too. Her skin got dry, rough, like it had been burnt. She brushed it off as tiredness, but one morning she woke up and her face was literally peeling. The markers had triggered a crazy allergic reaction. The chemical ink went way deeper than she thought. She ran to the bathroom, rubbing her face raw with cotton pads, but it was too late. The pigment had sunk deep into her skin. She ended up booking sessions at a tattoo shop to painfully get rid of her forever makeup. Even now, she still has faint scars on her cheekbones and eyelids. They'll fade with time, but the reminder's gonna stay as the price she paid for wanting beauty too fast.
