Viral Beauty Hack: Woman Uses Sharpie as Lip Liner

In a recent viral video, content creator Kaitlyn Curtis demonstrated an unconventional beauty hack, using a pink Sharpie marker as a lip liner. The video, uploaded on June 3, 2025, shows Curtis meticulously outlining her lips with the permanent marker before applying a lip product over it, resulting in a vibrant pink shade. Curtis stated in her video description that she was inspired to try the trend after seeing another creator, @bexonk, attempt it. While the video has garnered significant attention with over 225,000 views, beauty experts caution against using non-cosmetic products like Sharpies on skin, particularly the sensitive lip area, due to potential irritation or allergic reactions from ingredients not intended for dermal contact. Viewers are advised to prioritize safety and use only products specifically formulated for cosmetic use.
