A young Nigerian man has caused quite a stir on the internet after he underwent a cosmetic procedure to achieve pink lips.
A video making round online shows the moment the man, who was evidently dissatisfied with the natural colour of his lips, received the pink lips treatment at a cosmetic studio.
The transformation has however sparked a barrage of comments from netizens who as expected had a couple of things to say about the procedure.

However, a social media user who is knowledgeable about the procedure, explained that the man’s lip colour in the video is not the final look.
@zeeliciousfairy wrote, “Y’all calm down, that’s lip neutralization. Orange corrector pigment was used to neutralize the dark lips and give it a lighter lip color. Once the lip heals, it’s not going to be that color, it’s going to be normal lip color, but with a brighter tone. This is even more effective and safe than using pink lips balm.”
