However, when one woman, beauty fanatic Melanie, posted a video of herself doing her makeup routine, mean trolls were quick to comment that she had instantly aged a whopping 25 years.

In the now viral clipwhich has been viewed more than 6.6 million times, the pink-haired stunner was seen sporting a gorgeous smokey eye, tanned complexion, sharp eyebrows and a gorgeous glossy nude lippy.

But after asking fellow social media users to guess her age – one of the latest trends on TikTok – Melanie was in the shock of her life as cruel people even said ’57’.

There were also other estimates such as 45, 39, ”high 40s” and 50, with some people insisting it was her makeup that was to blame.

“Early forties, but I think you would look a lot younger with a different makeup style,” one person said.

Someone else said: ‘You don’t look old. But you have sharp facial features that I associate with 90s supermodels, which makes my brain place you at 43.”

Another agreed, adding: ”With this make-up style it’s hard to tell and I was thinking early 40s.”

“I’d say younger, but the thin eyebrows feel older,” thought a fourth.

After taking the social media platform by storm, Melanie, who claims to be 32, decided to hit back at the cruel trolls.

“You can’t ask people many things, especially based on your appearance, because then you’ll be torn… into pieces, into shreds.”

Melanie also discussed some comments she had screenshotted – and there was a series of rude comments people had made, some suggesting she was ”a smoker”.

Meanies had also insisted that she must have had ‘Botox’ at some point because the fillers are ‘now associated with a certain age range’.

“While I have nothing against it and I will get Botox and fillers, the only thing I’ve ever had done to my face is I’ve had my lips done countless times,” Melanie told the haters. her platform.

“I threw myself into the fire for asking this question, I think.”

Luckily, it wasn’t all negative, as many kind users also rushed to the comments to show their support.

“I guessed 28-30, I don’t know where people get 40 from,” said one.

Another was completely baffled by the guesses, writing: “Girl you do NOT look 41.”
