I charged my client over £100 for glam make-up… trolls say they wouldn’t pay even £25 for the look but she loves it
WHEN Tierra Lee uploaded a video showcasing some of her glam make-up looks, she thought she’d get a new stream of clients.
But instead, the make-up pro was slammed for having charged a fortune, which many were convinced was a ”joke”.
The beauty pro – and singer – took to TikTok to upload a Before and After transformation video of a client who had paid over a whopping £100.
Here, she first started off with outlining brows with a dark pencil – and for some, this was the first red flag.
Once that was done, she went in with face base, black eyeshadow, as well as speckles of contour to give the face more definition.
The look was completed with fluttery falsies and a bright red lippy – the combination of which Tierra claimed the client absolutely loved.
But despite being happy with the final results, social media users were less than impressed – TikTok fans were so mortified by what they saw, they said that even £25 would’ve been too steep.
”I KNEW from the drawing of the brows this was not gonna be it,” one viewer commented.
Someone else wondered if there had been a typo: ”You mean $25 not $125?”
A third was baffled: ”no disrespect but a full glam of what because I’m confused.”
After going viral on social media for all the wrong reasons, the make-up artist hit back at all the meanies.
”She keeps coming back lol. plus I used a different technique in my last video,” Tierra explained.

”How am I robbing her, she is a well known person in LA so she know where she can go but she chose me.”
Unfortunately, Tierra is not the first one to find her work getting slammed online – recently another lash guru’s portfolio was compared to ”massive brooms”.
Kimm, from Los Angeles, the USA, is a beauty expert who has recently taken the internet by storm with her unusually large and fluffy lash extensions.
Although the clips on her TikTok are watched by thousands, one such video has gone viral.
In the video, which has been viewed more than a whopping 2.6 million times, Kimm showed off two of her latest creations – sets so long and thick, they fully covered the clients’ eyelids and even reached the eyebrow area.
Both sets of extensions weren’t too cheap either – one of them came with a price tag of £250, whilst for the other the client was charged more than £210.
To make her ”slow” day even better, the lash whizz was also tipped by both women.
The first appeared to be so impressed with the result, she decided to give Kimm another £127, and the second beauty lover treated the lash guru with an extra £85.
But whilst the two young women might have enjoyed their new fluffy extensions, viewers were savage and said the clients probably couldn’t see when they were adding the tip.
Eagle-eyed TikTok users also pointed out to the redness in their eyes, which led them to believe the lashes were so heavy, wearing them was painful.
Others chuckled and described the thick and pitch black extensions as ”brooms”.
While it not may be everyone’s cup of tea, Lexis seems to have a regular stream of clients who request a similar look, as she regularly shares clips of people rocking her lash strips.
After being met with criticism of letting beauty lovers leave the appointment ”with such embarrassment”, Kimm took it to TikTok to respond to the trolls.
”Everybody who keep commenting about the lashes saying they are too heavy and look ugly DONT wear them.”
However, despite what Kimm said, viewers continued to slam her work, with one even saying she was destroying lives.
A second joked: ”you can probably get them cheaper at a Halloween store.”
A few people were also convinced it was a joke, like this person: ”April Fools Day in July!”
But it wasn’t, as someone had scrolled through Kimm’s TikTok account and commented: ”when you check the rest of her page and realize it’s not satire.”
