North West, Kim Kardashian‘s daughter, isn’t the only one experimenting with makeup on TikTok.
Kim and Kanye West‘s nine-year-old daughter made news last month when she appeared in videos with her famous mother wearing makeup to look like Kanye West.
Now, the mother-of-four has demonstrated her own abilities – sort of – by transforming herself in a new cosmetics tutorial video.
Kim begins the video, which has gone viral, looking like her usual self, with her customary makeup, before pulling her hair up into a sloppy top bun.
She next attacks her brows with a strong black colour, making them several shades darker – and thicker – than before, before piling on thick, orange-tinted foundation.
Kim completed the look by applying layers and layers of bright highlighter that she does not properly blend, and by painting her lips the same colour as her skin.
The end result? There were a lot of girls you went to school with back in the day.
Kim appeared to be striving for a specific appearance as she did the technique to Mille B’s song M to the B, which became a popular sound on TikTok.
The challenge, dubbed the ‘Essex Girl’ craze, involves TikTok users doing a makeover tutorial with orange makeup and thick black eyebrows as Millie’s song plays in the background.
While Kim is not the first to do so, her new video is already among the most popular, with over 2 million likes in just a few hours.
The video circulated on Twitter, with fans in stitches witnessing the stunning reality star getting in on the craze, with one branding her ‘iconic’.
Another revealed that she ‘didn’t have Kim Kardashian doing a 2002 British schoolgirl makeover on my 2023 bingo card,’ while another wrote, ‘This is the last thing I expected Kim Kardashian to do on TikTok.’
One joker said the video “just ended British culture,” while another called it “a serve” and “so camp.”
Kim’s attempt at the trend comes after fans were truly amazed by North’s makeup skills, with her reality star mother previously expressing an interest in special effects makeup.
North sculpted her face to seem like Kanye in multiple videos posted to their shared TikTok account this month, including adding beards and a sharp hairline as Kim posed alongside her.
While Kanye is adamantly opposed to the child using TikTok, Kim has agreed to set up a joint account with her, with comments disabled and the mother-of-four keeping an eye on things.
