Woman horrified after lip treatment leaves her looking 'like The Joker'
A woman was left horrified after getting a lip tinting procedure done on her lips - only to end up "looking like the Joker". Alex Murphy, originally from Boston in the US but now living in London, shared a clip after the procedure with her 201,000 followers - and left them in hysterics.
The 34-year-old, who had been self conscious about her lips since she had a stroke 10 years ago, booked herself in for a lip tint at a clinic in Hertfordshire - but could never have anticipated what she would end up looking like. After having the treatment, which is called lip blush and is essentially a tattoo, her lips swelled up - leaving her shocked.

I've wanted to have this done for years. Since having my stroke back in 2012, my lips have never been the same. The colour has faded pale and in the winter they turn this ugly blue shade. So when I saw this lip blush option I had to give it a go!"
The lip tinting procedure only took an hour and a half, and straight afterwards Alex was pleasantly surprised - but things swiftly took a dark turn as he mouth started to swell. She said her lips swelled up so much she ended up looking like The Joker or a duck. She added: "All went smoothly and it wasn't really painful until the end. Straight after I was shocked. My lips had swollen and I looked like a duck! They told me that this might happen and I might look a bit crazy on the first day."

However, she still wanted to share the experience with her followers, and shared a humorous video online. Speaking to her followers, she said: "I don't think you're ready for this,", before removing her hand, laughing and adding, "I literally look like The Joker."

It was hilarious," while another added: "Babe that's nowt compared to mine when I have them done I am bruised and bleeding".
Others simply said "You're so funny" and "Omg you crack me up". Another followed commented: "Mine were like that at first but they go down loads within a day and the results are amazing!"
