Kylie Jenner has spoken out about the online craze that has teens suctioning their lips in shot glasses to mimic her pouty look.
Dubbed the #KylieJennerChallenge, teenagers post photos of themselves with swollen, bruised or bleeding lips in attempts to recreate the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling's prized pucker.

But the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has taken to Twitter to distance herself from the DIY lip-plumping trend.
"I'm not here to try and encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look," she tweeted.
"I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF and not be afraid to experiment w your look."
Jenner's famous pout has been the topic on everybody's lips lately, but the 17-year-old has repeatedly denied undergoing cosmetic surgery.
"I've never been under the knife," she told Grazia magazine last week.
"People flash back to pictures of me when I was 12 and say, 'Kylie's so different' but how can I look the same from 12 to 18?"
Instead, Jenner credits her much-Instagrammed "pillow lips" look to simple makeup tricks like lip liner.
