A TikToker experienced a traumatic makeup fail after applying eyeliner in a GRWM (get ready with me) video that left viewers all but prepared for the chaos to come.
TikToker Holly–a.k.a. @hollisaur–complained how she didn't like how clumpy the eyeliner felt on her eyelid.
When she blinked, the ink trickled onto her left eyeball and left her with a completely black eye.
The text overlay in the video informed followers:
"I was doing my makeup and making get ready with me vids for my friend when my eye was [literally] assaulted by my eyeliner."
"Oh my God!" she said, panicked in the viral clip after seeing her eye get coated with black ink.
“I’ve got to take my contact out.”
Her situation didn't improve when she noticed that black liquid started streaming from her left nostril.
“Is it coming out of my nose? Or is that from my finger?” she wondered after wiping her nose and seeing the foreign substance on her finger.
Holly continued to have questions as she blew her nose and revealed the expelled black contents on the crumpled tissue.
“What the f'l? Like is it in my eyeball? Did it come out? Is it still in there?”
We don't know, Holly.
But this was not the ride people signed up for after she initially asked followers in the caption:
"pls take a journey with me into my traumatic afternoon."
And what a journey it was.
You can go along with her in the clip below.
WARNING: NSFW language
The nightmare tutorial came to an end when she managed to remove the last remnants of the eyeliner and some lint from her eye.
In the aftermath, Holly chose to go with eyeliner-free makeup and assured viewers:
"Guess we’re good! Guess we’re good."
TikTokers, however, were not so sure they were fine after witnessing her eye-opening experience.
In the comments, users were still reeling from the shock after witnessing what they thought was a demonic episode right out of the WB's horror series, Supernatural.

Eyeliner will be a real fear in 2023, said no one ever.

As of April 14, the video racked up over 6.1m views, 710,000 likes, and over 13,000 comments.
Despite her trauma, Holly maintained her sense of humor and remarked that if someone bothered her when she went out that night, she'll blow air out of her nose and hope "a bunch of black sh*t comes out."
She crossed her fingers, closed her eyes, and said:
"Manifesting.”
That'll show 'em.
