15 Craziest 100 Layer Challenge Videos

I love a good makeup video challenge. The types of challenges range from seriously hilarious, like the "my boyfriend did my makeup" challenge, to creatively impressive, like doing an entire look with only kids makeup, liquid lipstick, or highlighter. Most are in good fun, but some are just flat out weird (and impossible to look away from). Case in point: these 15 100 layer challenge videos you have to watch.

"This is the Internet I signed up for!" exclaimed Jenna Marbles, a YouTube star, as she layered on dozens of coats of mascara. Indeed, 2016 has been captivated by the "100 layers of..." video challenges every makeup and beauty guru (and some comedians) are filming. It's pretty cut and dry — apply 100 layers of product all at once. It can be mascara, foundation, lipstick, you name it. The result? An often funny and freaky look that reminds us to stay appreciative of that no-makeup makeup trend. Sometimes, the results look straight up painful — I can barely power my way through the day with one coat of liquid lipstick, let alone 100.

But like any good train wreck, it's hard to look away from these videos. Most of us have never seen what 100 coats of anything looks like, so behold — here are the craziest 100 layer challenges.

1. 100 Coats Of Dipbrow

Don't you ever let anyone tell you your brows are too bold.

2. Ultimate 100 Coats of Things

One minute you're watching a typical YouTube makeup tutorial, and the next you're 100 coats in. Who hasn't been there?

3. 100 Layers Of Fake Tan

This is a level of weird I haven't encountered before. I think 100 layers of sunscreen is more my style.

4. 100+ Coats Of Nail Polish

"This is taking way longer than I thought it would take." Uh, yeah. She makes it all the way to coat 116 before losing consciousness. (Just kidding about that last part...kind of.)
