Women are injecting their eyes in bizarre new ‘hangover’ trend
WOMEN are injecting their eyes to achieve a zombie-like look that makes them look like they’ve enjoyed a heavy night out partying.
‘HANGOVER’ eyes are taking the internet by storm, with women resorting to heavy make-up and cosmetic injections to achieve the look.
The new aegyo sal trend, translated as ‘charming fat’, originated in Korea and has sparked hundreds of imitations worldwide.
By plumping up the under-eye area, women are attempting to achieve a zombie-like look that makes them look like they’ve enjoyed a heavy night out partying.
Followers of the trend claim that adding bags can contrast the natural sparkle of the eye and create the illusion of being more youthful.
As the craze has filtered through to Western culture, cosmetic surgeons have noted a rising demand for eye fillers.
Cheshire-based cosmetic surgeon, Dr Jonquille Chantrey, noticed an increase in clients requesting hyaluronic acid fillers for the under-eye area.
There are some risks associated with aegyo sal treatment, with cosmetic surgeons warning that injecting the eyes can speed up the ageing process.
Instead of going under the knife, a less extreme version of the trend can be replicated using cosmetics.
To accentuate your bags, grab a dark shade of eyeshadow or eyeliner and blend in a circular shape under the eyes, advises a makeup artist.
Alternatively, after enjoying a heavy night of boozing, you’ll never have to use concealer again.
