Puppies are essentially perfect from birth and don’t require much assistance to look their best. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy having their makeup done, or at the very least, they want to pretend they’re applying their daily highlighter for that #glowup.
Introducing the most popular dog-related video trend on Instagram since the Puppy Bowl: ASMR clips of puppies loving every second of being petted with makeup brushes. (Honestly, same. It’s unclear when this fad started, but Insta-famous dog account Adventures of Pippa and Clark posted a video of Pippa, a golden retriever, relaxing while having her fur gently stroked with a fan brush on Monday. The caption for the video reads, “Pippa wanted to remind you to be yourself because no one can do it as well as you can!”
Some of the puppy videos are parodies of conventional makeup tutorials, with YouTuber noelani g brushing makeup over a puppy who is already attractive and saying, “Let’s leave them natural, she has very nice brows,” this time. Other videos show less animated puppies who appear more interested in the brushes as potential chew toys than as tools for beauty and relaxation.
Despite the fact that some beauty tutorials can be intimidating and complex, we adore this most recent viral trend and could easily spend hours watching it. After all, are cute dogs and makeup tutorials the two things the Internet loves the most?

Some sunscreens contain zinc oxide, which, if consumed by a dog, can irritate their digestive system. Bring your dog to the vet if she has bloody diarrhea and/or vomit, which can be a sign of intestinal damage, advises Barrack.

Recently, Chance, my dog, completely devoured one without my knowledge. Fortunately, he managed to throw it up. This may not be the case for other dogs though.
Even if swallowed in pieces, beauty blenders or makeup sponges can obstruct the digestive tract and seriously harm your dog.
Be sure to keep an eye on how often your pet poops if you suspect they may have eaten one. To see if you can find any remnants of the sponge, examine their stool. It’s time for a vet visit if they are having difficulty passing their food or are not passing it at all.
