Tiny Face Challenge is a makeup challenge in which makeup artists paint a small nose on the top of their nose and lips at the bottom of their nose and pull a scarf or cloth over the bottom of their face to create an illusion of a small face. Though makeup artists have been using this trick for decades, YouTuber Chrisspy introduced the practice online in 2015 and it became a popular trend in April 2020 on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
