Beauty Influencer Performs Full Skincare Routine During Three-Hour Movie Screening, Sparking Backlash

A skincare influencer with over two million followers sparked controversy after performing an extensive skincare routine during a screening of the three-hour film "The Odyssey." Known as np.miranda, a licensed aesthetic nurse, she filmed herself in a crowded cinema applying various skincare products, including cleansing her face with micellar water, applying creams to her neck and eyes, and placing a collagen mask on her face while seated among other viewers. She also applied a lip mask, ate a meat snack, and drank a soft drink during the movie.

Miranda posted the video on TikTok with the caption "POV: The movie lasts three hours," framing the routine as an efficient way to pass the time. However, many viewers criticized her behavior as inconsiderate, particularly due to the bright phone screen lighting in the dark theater and the disruption caused to fellow moviegoers. Comments described the act as "the height of influencer arrogance" and questioned the need to film such a routine in a public setting during a movie. Some viewers expressed frustration with influencer culture turning everyday activities into content.

Not all reactions were negative; some followers found the routine harmless or even clever, suggesting most cinema attendees might not have noticed. Miranda herself dismissed the criticism, calling her actions "multitasking at its best." The incident highlights ongoing tensions around influencer behavior in public spaces and the boundaries of content creation.

The video has gone viral on social media platforms, sparking debate about etiquette and respect in shared environments. No reports indicate any formal complaints to the cinema staff. Miranda’s approach raises questions about balancing personal habits with public courtesy during communal experiences like movie screenings.
