TikTok is full of fun and beautiful makeup trends to try out. A new trend that doesn’t quite belong in this street is the ‘uncanny valley’ make-up look. We see this look quite often and it is quite creepy. This is what you can wear this slightly creepy look for.
What is ‘uncanny valley’ makeup?
Before we can talk about the makeup look, we need to know what the uncanny valley is. The uncanny valley is a kind of gray area between non-human and human. For example, if a robot is really clearly a robot and does not look like a human, this does not make us uncomfortable. But when a robot almost looks like a human but not quite like it, this makes us somewhat uncomfortable. We also see the uncanny valley in films and series. Some animations make the characters a little too human, making it difficult for us to watch them in a completely relaxed manner. Recreating this creepy look has become a trend on TikTok. This makes your lips wider and your eyes optically larger. There is also a specific way of contouring involved. It looks quite creepy, especially in the dark.

This way it can come in handy
Okay, so the TikTok trend is kind of creepy, so how can it ever be useful? Well, we have some nice ideas for this.
When you need some alone time
If you look so creepy, we assume that people around you will leave you alone. We bet no one will come and chat with you if you make them uncomfortable. Ideal for when your social battery runs out.
When you walk down the street alone
Women are all too familiar with the feeling of walking down the street alone. This makeup look is the best way to keep creeps away from you. In their view, you are now the creep.
When you don’t feel like flirty men when going out
Do you recognize that feeling when you just want to dance with your friends in the club, but men keep getting in between? Keep them at bay with this make-up look!
When you want to scare your ex off
Another great reason to try the makeup look. If you have an ex who won’t leave you alone, this is the perfect way to get rid of them for good.
When you want to scare your roommate
Okay, now for a real reason to wear this makeup look: if you want to scare someone as a joke!
