While Kim Kardashian has been branded 'iconic' by fans for attempting the 'British chav' trend on TikTok, some women living in the UK aren't so impressed. The viral challenge sees TikTokers record a makeup tutorial with orange foundation, thick black eyebrows and pale lips to grime star Millie B's track.
In a tweet that has gone viral, one US website labelled it the 'Essex girl makeup tutorial', sparking anger at the stereotype. Emma Thomson, 32, dubbed it outdated and unrealistic, as she told the Mirror: "I find the stereotype offensive and quite annoying. I'm nothing like an old TOWIE girl. I rarely wear make up, don't have fake hair, lashes or nails; I don't wear stilettos or dance around my handbag either."
Emma, from Essex, said the derogatory 'chav' makeover isn't anything like a modern Essex girl.
