Why do all of these potatoes look better than me?

Beauty guru YouTube needs to take a seat — TikTok users are showing off their makeup skills by dolling up potatoes in the delightfully weird #potatoportrait challenge.
The trend stared when @elona_balasyan pulled out a beauty blender and gave an ordinary potato a glam makeover worthy of a teen romcom montage. She adds sharp eyebrows, expertly blended eyeshadow, and plump lips. It's beautiful.
