Makeup junkies love glitter — on their eyes, their cheeks, and now on their tongues too. Dubbed as the hot new trend, it was started by a makeup artist in Australia who accidentally dabbed some glitter on her tongue. “I thought I would embrace it and make it the main focus,” she wrote on Instagram.

Since then, this weird beauty trend went viral with many others joining in and colouring their tongues with glitter. However, since it went viral, the trend has also raised some health concerns. For instance, fear of indigestion and blockages have been brought up.
