    A Singaporean woman has gone viral for applying a full face of makeup while on a moving train. 

    On Sunday, TikTok user @unbiden posted the video taken during her commute to Jurong in western Singapore.

    “It was a 1 hr train ride… Obviously I’m gonna do makeup,” the onscreen text says at the beginning of the minute-and-a-half-long clip.

    Since it is no longer obligatory to wear face masks on public transport in Singapore, @unbiden was able to apply several products, including primer, foundation, concealer, blush, setting powder, mascara and highlighter.

    She even applied winged eyeliner, claiming, “Drawing nice eyeliner on a moving vehicle is a superpower ok ,,, can put on LinkedIn.”

    The confident TikTok user explains through her video’s onscreen text that she does not care about other commuters’ opinions, writing, “Contrary to popular belief, idgaf [I don’t give a f*ck] … Girls when someone stares at u,,, just stare back.”

    “What is social anxiety,” she states in the caption of her post, which has already garnered over 1.5 million views and 190,000 likes.

    Several TikTok users were inspired by the viral video, with many of them expressing their support in its comment section. 

    “Omg ure so daring i could never,” one TikTok user wrote.

    “I used to do this too just to get an extra 30 mins of sleep HAHAHAH,” another TikTok user said.

    “We [love] an unbothered flourishing queen,” another user commented, while another wrote, “This is so enabling and powerful girl.”
