What is the mascara wand trend on TikTok? Origin explained as meme sends the internet into a frenzy
A TikTok trend named mascara wand is currently in the limelight. It isn't garnering attention because of the tool's makeup-enhancing abilities but for reasons that might leave you in splits. Surprisingly, this trend is all about dating and people's intimate lives.
TikTok has a strict policy for NSFW content. Hence, to outplay the short-video platform's policy, several users have found a way to talk about their dating and lives behind closed doors through this trend. In this trend, people refer to the wand and tube as their intimates.
Where did the mascara wand trend come from?
A TikTok user, @Faithm00re, shared a video where she can be seen giving some expressions. Meanwhile, the text in the video reads:
"My fav mascara put its wand in different mascara and then gave me a stye."
By this, the TikTok user meant that her favorite male friend or the person she was dating had an intimate relationship with another person and ended up giving her a s*xually transmitted disease or infection. Soon after, her video went viral, and people started sharing their own stories.
Not only did this trend make people open up about their experiences, but it also made people share hilarious memes and left netizens laughing over the fact that they thought these people were talking about the beauty product.
The mascara wand trend leaves netizens in splits
Initially, TikTok users who watched the videos could not understand why people were talking so much about this makeup tool. However, they later realized that these people were not talking about makeup and were left scratching their heads. Here's how netizens reacted to this trend:
TikTok is a place where one thing or another manages to get attention. Another trend that has managed to garner attention is the dupe trend. According to this trend, TikTokers talk about someone who looks like a cheaper or duped version of an item or a person. However, people are calling this trend unfunny, saying that it is about degrading and objectifying people.
Meanwhile, speaking of NSFW content, TikTok does not allow s*xually explicit content, nudity, or pornography on their platform. However, users have managed to find a way out of it.
