In a chat with Legit.ng's Kumashe Yaakugh, she said:
"I saw a video of another creator who suggested that pepper was a good lip-plump tool and I decided to see for myself if she was right."
The makeup artist said that she chose the habanero pepper because it’s what she could find in the market.
In trying out the supposed beauty hack, the makeup artist used the habanero pepper for hers, even though she stated that her lips were already plump.
After cutting the pepper in half, she applied it directly on her lips. Minutes after, @97th._artistry was seen teary-eyed and dabbing over her lips as the heat took over.
Recounting the experience, she said:
"Honestly, I didn’t even know peppers have different spice levels, thanks to the video, I know now."
Interestingly, she ended the video highly recommending the hack despite the discomfort it caused her.

Makeup artist speaks after pepper makeup hack
The beauty and lifestyle content creator says she didn’t have expectations when she posted especially with regards to it going viral.
"It really was just an innocent post made but it got so many views and so many different opinions, some people applaud while some detest it."
She recounted that after the application, she experienced a burning sensation from the pepper but it only lasted for a few minutes.
"I even forgot I applied pepper on my lips shortly after that."
On whether she achieved her aim, she said:
"My lips did feel a little heavier, so I guess it worked. I can’t advice someone on what to do but I’ll say, try the things you want to try, don’t be scared! You’ll always come out stronger!"
