Influencer Haley Kalil told viewers she sat in a makeup chair for 9 hours in order to have 30,000 individual rhinestones placed on her face and body to recreate Doja Cat's iconic Paris Fashion Week look. To her dismay, it didn't prove much easier to remove.

In a video filmed from beneath the crimson sheen of those "30,000 individual stones" — which Kalil described as "so itchy" — she told viewers she'd worn the homage during New York Fashion Week and, in the harsh lighting of a bathroom, now found herself uncertain on how to "undo" it."They're on there pretty good," she said, scratching at her face for emphasis. The February 16 TikTok has since been viewed more than 10.2 million times."A little nervous the paint underneath is going to stay," she said, adding, "this is why we don't make manic decisions, Haley," jokingly.Adopting the lingo of any good TikTok GRWM, Kalil began by "diving right in" with micellar water that appeared to have minimal impact. "Oh my god, it hurts," she said. Comments like "Why did I put them so close to my eyes?" and "if this looks painful, it's because it is," punctuated the footage of Kalil pulling at sticky ropes of skin-like material and scraping it off with makeup wipes and towels."I hope my dermatologist doesn't have TikTok," Kalil said. After opting for a shower, Kalil showed viewers the patches where the excess still remained, like a cotton swab stained with red. "That's probably not good for you," Kalil said.Despite the fact that it hurt to remove, Kalil told viewers the look, applied by NYC makeup artist Samantha Jaymes, is still her "favorite thing that I've ever worn," even though it hurt to remove. "Stepping out at the Vogue Magazine NYFW party in this look was invigorating!!" Kalil wrote in a February 16 Instagram post. "Everyone should wear something this crazy at least once in their life!!"The next day, she updated viewers to say her apartment was covered in glitter and she was still "removing crystals from inside my ears.""You're going to be finding those around your house until next year," a user told Kalil on Instagram.And, after intensive scrubbing, she told viewers her skin "has never been softer." Doja Cat's look, which the musician wore to Schiaparelli's Paris Fashion Week show, also required 30,000 hand-applied crystals and took the Pat McGrath team nearly five hours to complete.
