Jenna Marbles has remained one of the biggest stars on YouTube for years due to her humorously sarcastic personality and her ability to create videos surrounding some of the most buzzed-about topics on the Internet -- with one of her most recent being a compilation of the 100 layers of makeup videos that are circulating on the site.
In a bizarre fad, many of YouTube's creative gurus have been experimenting with extreme makeup looks, piling on 100 layers of foundation, mascara, lipstick, nail polish and more and racking up millions of views because of it. Rather than focusing on one of these however, Jenna Marbles put on 100 layers of everything -- even swapping out the mascara for fake eyelashes instead. The resulting video is hilarious, entertaining and a little bit horrifying.
