Should This TikTok Influencer Really Be Crucified for Using False Lashes in a Mascara Ad?
A wise man once said: Touch grass.
Mikayla Nogueira has a massive (14.4M followers) following on TikTok, so it didn't take long for people to figure out she was wearing fake eyelashes at the end of a video reviewing getting paid to promote a mascara.
I get it, people. You feel lied to. The reason influencers are a thing is because you're expecting real reviews of products from a real person you admire. You don't expect them to falsify results the way shampoo commercials use wigs and extensions. I get that. What I don't understand is the online attacking of her for over a week now.
Deep breaths! It's just mascara. I don't think she needs to be cancelled for one mistake. I do agree she needs to address and own up to this at some point, though. The comment section on her 3 newest videos ignoring the controversy should be enough to tell her that.
