Becoming a successful content creator on social media often requires months or even years of hard work. Creators spend countless hours filming, editing, and posting videos, hoping that their content will catch the algorithm’s attention and reach a wide audience. Many focus on creating high-quality, engaging, and consistent content to slowly build a following. Yet, despite all the effort, no one can guarantee that a video will go viral overnight. Success on platforms like X, Instagram, or YouTube is often unpredictable, and sometimes even a short or simple clip can unexpectedly reach millions, leaving both creators and viewers amazed.
However, Bandana Girl, also known as Bud Wiser online, has defied all odds. A simple two-second makeup clip she posted on X (formerly Twitter) has gone viral, leaving social media users amazed and puzzled.

Who is Bandana Girl?
Bandana Girl, whose online handle is Bud Wiser, is a social media creator who has taken the internet by storm. According to reports, the woman behind the viral video has been identified as Priyanga by The Juggernaut, though this has not been officially confirmed. She told the media that she had only expected a small number of views on her short clip, and the massive response took her by surprise.
The outlet also mentioned that Priyanga has been feeling very tired due to her video circulating nonstop and seeing her face everywhere on social media. She is unsure if she wants to continue making content, as the sudden fame has left her feeling more overwhelmed than excited.
The Viral Video That Took the Internet by Storm
On November 2, 2025, Bandana Girl shared a 2-second clip from an auto, captioned, “Makeup ate today.” Twenty days later, on the morning of November 22, 2025, the video had already amassed 85.9 million views and continues to grow. The speed and scale of its virality are extraordinary, given the clip’s brevity.
This is not the first time a makeup video has gone viral, but what makes Bandana Girl’s clip unique is how quickly and widely it spread. Social media users are scrambling to understand why this particular video captured the attention of millions.
Monetary Gains From a 2-Second Video
Viral success on social media also comes with financial benefits. According to X user Dolly, Bandana Girl earned a payout of $5,508 (Rs 5 lakh approx) from the clip. Fans have speculated that this income could even allow her to buy an auto or more. For a video just two seconds long, the returns have been surprisingly high, highlighting the power of virality in today’s digital economy.
Chaos and Curiosity on Social Media
The clip’s popularity has sparked curiosity and chaos online. Thousands of X users have commented on the video, and approximately 23,000 accounts have reshared it, hoping to replicate her success. People are attempting to decode the X algorithm, theorizing about the reasons behind the clip’s massive reach, while some have even contacted her friends out of curiosity.
Bandana Girl’s overnight rise demonstrates how unpredictable social media virality can be. While many creators work tirelessly without similar results, sometimes all it takes is a short, simple video at the right time to capture the world’s attention. The internet, it seems, will continue to be fascinated by Bandana Girl and her 2-second makeup magic.
