Just when I thought that mankind couldn't come up with another unusual way to apply eyeliner, TikTok proves me wrong. The tool of choice: hot glue. Ingenious!

The beauty community is a creative bunch that comes up with the craziest ideas. Including a lot of rubbish, while true gems like this DIY project are rather rare. Armed with a hot glue gun, I'm trying my hand at a homemade 3D graphic eyeliner. The principle behind it is so simple that I'm almost ashamed that I didn't come up with the idea myself.

Use the hot glue to "paint" shapes and patterns onto a piece of baking paper, where you leave them to cool. There are no limits to what you can do - go wild! Popular designs on social media include hearts, tears, lines, stars and dots. Once the glue has set, colour it with a little eyeshadow and carefully remove it from your base. You can now stick the resulting 3D elements onto your face using eyelash glue, similar to stickers. The result looks futuristic and is definitely an eye-catcher at parties, festivals, carnivals and the like. And the best thing about it: you can keep used glue elements and reuse them at a later date.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
