A swimwear model has told how a DIY lip job ended in disaster when she tried to emulate Kylie Jenner's lips.
Unable to afford £200 injectable chemical fillers, part-time swimwear model and retail worker Gail Scott, was intrigued when she heard about a DIY version.
Gail had heard about a tool available online, which promises an enhanced look without injections. Buyers suck into a lip shaped vessel to increase blood supply to the lips, temporarily giving an artificial plumped look.
Instead of spending £30 on the product, she used the lid of a mini hairspray bottle instead. After placing it over her lips, she sucked for five minutes until her lips started to tingle.
Initially she was delighted when she removed the lid to see her lips looked fuller. But minutes later she was left with painful bruising around her mouth that has left her unable to model since and now she wants to issue a warning against the craze currently sweeping social media.

She said: ‘I look like I’ve been punched in the mouth. Apart from the pain, the dark bruising above my mouth looks like a moustache.'I feel ridiculous and I haven’t wanted to leave the house since. I thought I was saving money but it’s cost me a fortune in make-up trying to cover it up.Initially she was delighted when she removed the lid to see her lips looked fuller.

'My lips looked great after - but only for about three minutes until the bruising started and then my lips went down anyway.
'I want other women to know the dangers, it’s not worth it. I was lucky not to burst a blood vessel because since I posted my warning I’ve heard that can happen.’
