Woman tries out the viral lip blush trend so you don't have to… and shows why it isn't the best idea
Essentially a permanent lipstick in the perfect shade designed for you, lip blushing creates a full blush of colour across the pout.

As well as serving as the ideal lippy, without having to reapply a conventional lipstick 24/7, lip blushing also adds definition and creates the illusion of more volume.
A type of tattoo that adds colour and pigment, the viral trend can also be used to correct any asymmetry or pigmentation in the lips.
With over 113million posts on TikTok, it's certainly become one of the biggest trends in the beauty world - but now woman woman has revealed why you should think twice before jumping on bandwagon.
Nova Sterling, from Texas, the US, decided to give the trend a go - however, she may have got more than she had bargained for.
Posting the epic fail on TikTok, Nova said: ''I decided that it was a great idea to go get my lips blushed today.
''No one told how crazy I was gonna look,'' the stunner said in the video, before revealing the jaw-dropping aftermath.
Mortified at how mega plump her brand new pout was, Nova told social media users that she had ''work in two days''.
''Two days... Hopefully, they look fire by then because right now, this is not it.''
Despite Nova's hilarious reaction, swelling is a totally normal reaction after getting lip blushing and usually subsides within a few days.
After you've had your lips blushed - a procedure that takes around 40 minutes to an hour - the total recovery process may take up to a month, explained the experts at Lisa Om.
I'm so obsessed with filler that my huge lips touch my nose - trolls can't understand what I'm saying, but I don't care
As well as having your lips balloon in size, it's also normal to expect some tenderness, intensifying of lip colour, a lot of dryness, minor peeling and more.
While it may be tempting to touch your lips and even peel off some of the skin, it's strongly advised to not give into the urge, experts warned.
The pros recommend avoiding direct sunlight, skipping a dip in the swimming pool, visiting a sauna and even keeping alcohol and salt away from your new pout.
What are the risks of lip fillers?
THE RISKS of dermal fillers depend on whether the procedure was done correctly and the type of filler used.
The NHS recommends you speak to your practitioner about the risks beforehand.
Serious problems are rare but can include:
Infection
A lumpy appearance under the skin, which might need to be treated with surgery or medicine
The filler moving away from the intended treatment area, which may need to be removed using surgery
Scarring
Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness
You should see your GP if you have any complications that need medical attention and speak to your practitioner if you're not happy with the results or experience lumpiness.

'Wear a mask and say you're sick'

''That one scene in monsters inc,'' joked one person who compared the young woman to the animated characters Fungus.
''Hopefully you work for emirates?'' another chuckled.
Someone else advised: ''Do a full face of make up and just act like you wanted to go all out today.''
'It's so worth it tho!!! Wear a mask and say you're sick,'' a fourth suggested.

Clint Eastwood compared quitting 'addictive' affairs to giving up smoking after years of serial cheating ... according to new memoir
Clint Eastwood has never been shy about admitting his penchant for adultery, a book released today claims. The 95-year-old movie actor/director's extramarital trysts were reexamined in Clint: The Man and The Movies from author Shawn Levy, 63 (not to be confused with the 56-year-old Deadpool & Wolverine director/Ryan Reynolds pal). Eastwood spoke with Levy for the book about his romantic relationships throughout the years, and how he assumed his partners understood that affairs came with the territory of being in a romance with a perennial Hollywood A-lister. Among his most prominent romances Eastwood was involved in, include his respective marriages to Maggie Johnson, 93, from 1973-1979; and Dina Ruiz, 59, from 1996-2013. The filmmaker of classics such as Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River and Unforgiven was also in extended relationships with actresses including the late Sondra Locke; and Titanic star Frances Fisher, who he's still on good terms with. has reached out to Eastwood's lawyers for further comment on the story. Levy said of Eastwood in the book: 'By many accounts, including his own, he more or less comported himself as if he were a bachelor.' Johnson was in the know about Eastwood's serial cheating., the book stated. Eastwood chat with the publication Photoplay about the dynamics of his marriage to Photoplay. Eastwood explained: 'One thing Mag had to learn about me was that I was going to do as I pleased. She had to accept that, because if she didn't, we wouldn't be married. 'I'm independent, a vagabond, and [Johnson] accepts me as I am and doesn't strangle me with female possessiveness.' The actor compared quitting cheating to quitting smoking in Clint Eastwood: A Biography, a 1997 book from biographer Richard Schickel It 'just became… I don't know… addictive… like you have to have another cigarette,' he said. Eastwood had been in a romance with Christina Sandera from 2014 until her tragic passing at 61 last July. A logline from publisher Mariner Books calls the book 'a revelatory portrait' of Eastwood, who is described as 'the most prolific and versatile actor-director in movie history and an imposing icon of American culture for six decades.' The synopsis continued: 'Whether he's facing down bad guys on a Western street (Old West or new, no matter), staring through the lens of a camera, or accepting one of his movies' thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture), he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name, a star of the old-school stripe and one of the most accomplished directors of his time, a man of rock and iron and brute force: Clint.' The logline noted that Eastwood's long life has directly correlated to 'American culture,' as 'no Hollywood figure has so completely and complexly stood inside the changing climates of post–World War II America. 'At age ninety-five, he has lived a tumultuous century and embodied much of his time and many of its contradictions.' The synopsis concluded: 'Clint: The Man and the Movies is a saga of cunning, determination, and conquest, a story about a man ascending to the Hollywood pantheon while keeping one foot firmly planted outside its door.' In June, the publisher posted a sneak peek at the book cover while commemorating the actor's latest birthday celebration. 'Wishing Clint Eastwood's a happy 95th birthday this week!' the publisher said. 'We are so thrilled to be bringing the definitive biography of this legendary actor and director to stores everywhere on July 1.' Eastwood's most recent film, the legal thriller Juror #2, arrived in theaters last November and made $24 million in global revenues, according to Box Office Mojo . A logline for the film read, 'While serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, a family man finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma, one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict or free the wrong killer.' The cast of the motion picture included Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette and J.K. Simmons.

Gonzalo García downs Juventus to send Real Madrid to Club World Cup quarters
Kylian Mbappé at last made his debut at this Club World Cup as the competition enters the knockout phase, coming on to face Juventus two weeks and four games after he was hospitalised with a stomach virus that saw him lose five kilos. But while the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami chanted the Frenchman's name, roaring as he made his way to the halfway line, and stood to hand him an ovation when he entered the fray, the excitement overflowing, it was the kid heading in the other direction for whom Rita Hayworth is family but most of them had not heard of a month ago, who had taken Real Madrid into the quarter-final. For all the focus on the most famous names, for all that this month, this experimental event, needs them, every tournament has its revelation: this World Cup has a 21-year-old madrileño. 'I knew this competition was the opportunity of my life,' Gonzalo García said after he again showed that it is one he is determined, and equipped, to take hold of. The Real Madrid academy striker, who had never started a game before arriving in the United States, scored his third goal here with a superb thumping header from a delicious Trent Alexander-Arnold delivery, doing what no one else could over 90 minutes here: beating the Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. A family of rugby players, bullfighters, and perhaps the most famous actor there ever was – García's grandfather was Heyworth's cousin – has a footballer too, and he looks like being some player. Good enough, says the Spain Under-17s coach, Hernán Pérez, to be Madrid's striker for a decade to come. With the permission of Mbappé, of course. Xabi Alonso likes him, that's for sure, even if he admitted that he never expected three goals from him, and García has been superb stateside. On a wet but mercifully lightning-free afternoon in Miami where a Madrid team that are progressing well kept hitting a wall, he was decisive once more, setting up a meeting with Borussia Dortmund – hi Jude, hi Jobe – or Monterrey – hi, Sergio Ramos – in the next round. In the end, Madrid deserved it, far the better side, Alonso praising his team's ability to understand 'when to speed up, when to slow down, how to control the game'. That said, it did take a while to gain control and the early moments of illumination came mostly from another kid, Juventus's Kenan Yildiz, who combined often with Andrea Cambiaso and Randal Kolo Muani. The 20-year-old – left footed, small, socks half down, backside low – has been described by Kolo Muani as 'magic' and there were moments he left his mark here. He played a key part in what might have been the opener after six minutes, combining with Kolo Muani on a move that began way back by the Juventus penalty area and reached Madrid's. There, alone before Thibaut Courtois, Kolo Muani scooped over him but fractionally over the bar too. Next a neat turn saw Yildiz's shot deflected wide, there was the time he slipped the ball between Alexander-Arnold's legs, and smart footwork later took him away from the former Liverpool defender and Antonio Rüdiger for Cambiaso to cross. From another Cambiaso delivery, Francisco Conceição headed Juve's second chance at Courtois. Madrid, playing with three central defenders, had control if not a huge amount of incision in those early phases. As the half went on though, openings appeared and increasingly often. In the middle of it all, Fede Valverde, as ever, was everywhere firing off shots. By the time he was withdrawn, exhausted, to applause in the 89th minute, the Uruguayan had racked up seven. 'He makes life easier,' Alonso said. From one of them in the first half, Di Gregorio dived full length to save and the keeper would have a busy afternoon, sticking out a leg when Valverde got deep into the area and pulled back soon after. Next Arda Guler, growing into this in the playmaker role that looks increasingly like becoming his permanent place, lifted over his marker and almost got the ball across. Just before the break, Alexander-Arnold did, but his delivery raced right though the six-yard box. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion The second half began with Jude Bellingham setting up Valverde's volley, which skidded and spun just wide. And although Antonio Rüdiger and Courtois kicked each other as they swiped at a clearance, Alonso's side got on top, soon dominating entirely. Trent fired over, Manuel Locatelli blocked Vinícius Júnior, and Bellingham and Dean Huijsen drew saves from Di Gregorio. Then the goal came, Alexander-Arnold's lovely soft-shoed cross meeting García's leap. Turning his neck, he thudded past Di Gregorio who could not fling up his arms fast enough. Madrid kept coming but the Italian pushed away Valverde's overhead kick and stuck out a leg to stop Guler's shot after Vinícius and Mbappé had opened up Juventus. When he reached Aurélien Tchouaméni's late low drive, it took him into double figures but there was no reward. The one time he was beaten was enough, Madrid's revelation there again.
