A woman shocked her fans on social media after revealing she spent 20 minutes every day doing her eyelashes - as some thought they "look like spiders".

TikTok user Brenna said that of her face of make-up, her eyelashes were the most important bit to get right - and one mistake ruins her whole look.

She would spend up to 20 minutes each day applying mascara and wanted to get it just right, and had her own particular style that she loved.

But not everyone enjoyed her look, as some said her eyelashes were too thick and spindly - and one social media user even said they looked like spider legs.
