'Kylie Jenner Challenge' - Tyga's Girlfriend Responds To New Teen Instagram, Twitter Trend
Keeping Up With The Kardashians co-star Kylie Jenner wants teen fans to know they shouldn't try her full-lipped look at home. Jenner's response to the viral #KylieJennerChallenge encourages teens to "be themselves" and experiment with new beauty looks safely, especially when attempting to imitate her dramatic puffy lips. "I'm not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look. I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment [with] your look," Jenner tweeted Tuesday night.
Jenner has previously spoken out to fans looking to copy her style. "I never feel pressure to be a good role model. I always try to do my best to inspire people to be good and do the right thing, but I just can't live my life always trying to be a good role model," she said earlier this year. Unfortunately, it looks like fans didn't heed her warning.
Jenner's recent tweets come following reports of the viral #KylieJennerChallenge, a trend that has teens sucking on shot glasses in an attempt to achieve Jenner's lip look. Jenner's fans posted photos of the results of the experiment on social media, many depicting graphic images of dangerously swollen lips, lacerations, and other injuries from the #KylieJennerChallenge gone wrong. As POPSUGAR's Emily Orofino writes, "because the glass isn't flexible[...]the shot glass can break under all the pressure, causing serious injuries that require stitches to repair."
