Kylie Jenner Responds To Teens Taking Part In Lip Enhancing Social Media Craze

Kylie Jenner has been forced to respond to the latest trend of teens using shot glasses to inflate their lips, after fans started posting videos online in an attempt to recreate her look. The youngest Kardashian star, who is believed to have had work on her lips, has inspired a new craze where teens attempt the #KylieJennerChallenge. The challenge saw teens putting their lips inside a shot glass before sucking in – with the suction motion pushing the lips hard against the inside of the glass. Experts have warned against the dangers of the challenge, where the suction action lightly bursts the blood vessels around the lips, causing them to swell and plump up.

Teens who started their own challenge then started posting videos and images online, competing for the best pout. Now the 17-year old TV star has tweeted followers, asking them to abandon the craze. In two messages she posted on Twitter, Kylie told followers to be themselves, and ‘not to be afraid to experiment with your look’:
