Woman who can't live without eating make-up.

A 22 year woman named Brittoni from Ohio has confessed her addiction to eating make-up comparing it to eating chocolate.

Instead of putting make-up on her face, she prefers to eat it, munching her way through between 15 and 20 compacts a day, and has said she cannot live without eating make -up.

She said 'I hide make-up everywhere around my house, under the couches, in the flower vases, the freezer... My hair is long so I like to use it to conceal the make-up I would like to bring.

'I keep my addiction to make-up hidden because I'd rather not go through the hassle of explaining it to people.

'My mother doesn't know but if she knew, I'd never hear the end of it and it would go on for hours and hours every day.'

Stocking up on make-up.

Brittoni's unusual habit began when she was just five years old and, intrigued by the colours in her mother's make-up case, decided to taste it.

'Seeing all the colours made me want to taste it,' she remembers. 'Once I tasted it, I just could not stop eating make-up.

'My favourite type of eyeshadow to eat is usually the metallic colours,' she continues. 'My favourite colours are grey, white and the light colour browns. Light colours usually taste a lot cleaner than darker colours.'

**Hmm, wonders shall never cease.
