Green Chilli as Lip Plumper? Shubangi Anand's Beauty Hack Goes Viral

Delhi-based beauty influencer Shubangi Anand has stirred up quite the buzz online with her latest beauty experiment. In an Instagram reel that's now gone viral with over 22 million views, Shubangi shows herself using a green chilli as a “natural lip plumper.” Yes, you read that right—mirchi!

The Viral Hack

In the video, Shubangi slices a green chilli and rubs it directly on her lips. Soon, her lips start to tingle, and she finishes her look with a lip tint and gloss. Her caption, “Would you try?” accompanied by chilli and fire emojis, sparked a heated debate.

Mixed Reactions Online

While some viewers were shocked and called the hack dangerous, others found it amusing or even relatable. One user commented, “Dumbest thing on the internet?” while another said, “Influencers promoting such insane beauty standards is just wrong!”

But not everyone was against it. A few defended Shubangi's experiment, pointing out that lip plumpers often cause tingling anyway. One person wrote, “It's just chilli, not poison! Chill out, people!” Another added, “Better this than fillers or botox! At least it's natural.”
