Even though we're in the business, we have to admit that sometimes beauty advice can get a little weird. We create nail art with dental floss [1], use dish soap in our hair [2], and use a straightening iron to create curls [3]. Illustrator Megan Dong [4] is (lightheartedly!) mocking makeup tips with an entire faux beauty magazine called Pretty Time.

Her art pokes fun at the concept of lash-strengthening mascara, the constant quest for invisible pores, and more. (We're still hoping that our winged liner [5] takes us on a journey like hers!) After you've laughed hysterically at these images, visit her online shop [6] to buy the full 28-page collection. Then, read through her hilarious series of comics about men who feel tricked by makeup [7].
