I had to CUT off my £80 fake lashes to get my passport picture approved – I think they were just jealous
SHE wanted to look as stunning as possible when getting her passport picture taken.
But one woman found her attempts to stand out backfired dramatically - and she ended up taking to her £80 fake lashes with a pair of scissors in a bid to get the snap approved.
She took to TikTok to share a video of her friend prepping the scissors to snip off the lashes, as she wrote over the top: "POV: I had to cut off my £80 lashes for a Nigerian passport".
"Nigeria embassy will humble you," she added in the caption.
People in the comments section were quick to have their say, with many admitting they'd found themselves in similar situations with passport pictures.
"Same happened to me," one wrote.
