A YouTuber has gone viral after uploading a make-up tutorial that went spectacularly wrong during an earthquake. However, she might just be playing a prank on everybody. On July 5, Los Angeles, California was rocked with a huge 7.1 earthquake and a number of aftershocks that rumbled on throughout the night. It, obviously, interrupted plenty of daily activities in the surrounding area, and even played a part in messing up a number of Twitch streams \u2013 with fans witnessing Mike \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek\u2019s entire set-up shake during a game. However, one creator has seemingly used the moment to unfold two-year long pranks on viewers. Later in the day, on July 5, YouTuber \u2018Ali J\u2019 uploaded a video of herself having a \u2018simple\u2019 make-up tutorial being interrupted by the earthquake \u2013 giving her the seemingly perfect recipe for a viral video. The YouTuber started out by simply applying red lipstick to her lips before the earthquake struck and the make-up went across her face \u2013 leaving Ali J looking like the Joker from Batman. While the timing seemed remarkable, it\u2019s just a bit too good to be true. Members of the YouTube comment section quickly went to work on dissecting the video for any little imperfection they could find, as they couldn\u2019t believe it was real. It didn\u2019t take look before some internet detectives found that all of the Ali J YouTube videos had been recorded in an Earthquake simulator \u2013 with comparison pictures of her background and videos from the simulator itself showing striking similarities. Others pointed out that the YouTuber had not uploaded a single video since April of 2018, with the background not changing at all in that span of time. Some viewers also noted that the title of the video made a point of having the date in there while the other uploads just went by the date that YouTube automatically produces. Now, nobody is quite sure just why all of the YouTuber\u2019s videos were recorded inside this earthquake simulator and only one has been used as a part of the prank. It looks as though this prank was in-the-making for over two years, as Ali J used the room to record her \u2018regular\u2019 make-up tutorials, in the hope it would make the earthquake tutorial more legitimate. The person behind the YouTube account has not commented on the upload, but they haven\u2019t been able to pull the wool over everybody\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTuber goes viral after earthquake ruins makeup tutorial \u2013 but was it real?
