The Finger Trap Beauty TestFinger Trap Test

The finger trap test or the “Beauty and Ugliness Identification Method” is the newest misguided social media trend that supposedly measures physical attractiveness. The trend started on Weibo, which is the Chinese version of Facebook and is apparently trending in over 200,000 discussions, mostly among women, according to Vocativ.com and it's apparently expanding.

The new “hot or not” test, which is said to have the potential of becoming the new #thighgap trend, is simple and entails putting your index finger on top of your nose and holding the hand against the chin as if you were asking someone to keep quiet. If your lips do touch your finger, it's crystal clear – you're pretty. If not, well... maybe your inner beauty can work in your favor.
