Twitter users are sharing a potato make-up tutorial to beat the January blues
We’re no longer toasting breakfast with a bottle of bubbly while Quality Street is sadly not a work-appropriate lunch option this week, as people across the nation are adjusting to life post-Christmas once again.
But in a bid to shake the January blues, social media users are sharing a bizarre (albeit hilarious) video of a potato receiving a makeover. Yes, welcome to 2019 everyone.
The 15-second clip originally shared by Tik Tok user @elona_balasyan depicts the vegetable receiving a full transformation with carefully pencilled brows, eyeshadow and contouring included in the line-up.

After being posted on Twitter, the now-viral post has garnered over 28,700 likes and 8,000 retweets with social media users drawing comparisons between the potato’s fresh look and their own morning make-up routine:

We have to admit, after a week spent lounging on the sofa with which cheese to tackle next posing as the only real dilemma – we’ve never related to a potato more.
But we’re not the only ones, as the video has inspired others to share their own vegetable-based creations via the social media platform:

I never thought I would get a chance to post this. I did this years ago for a school project and it’s haunted my camera roll ever since pic.twitter.com/KIeTpZzP1f

We’ve not even made it through a week of January 2019 and we’re already looking forward to what the Internet has in store for us this year…
