Welcome to the world of LipTok, where beauty hacks and Hollywood glamour collide, thanks to Anne Hathaway’s savvy use of a simple hairpin! Anne Hathaway, the Hollywood star known for her timeless beauty and stellar acting chops, has recently dropped a surprising and easy lip-plumping hack that’s sweeping TikTok by storm.
Despite only joining the platform a month ago, Hathaway has already captivated her 441.5k followers (and counting) with her engaging content, amassing over 1.1 million likes and 7 million views across her three uploads; and her latest beauty tip has gone viral worldwide, garnering more than 1.2 million views.
During a shoot for her latest beauty campaign for Shiseido, the Devil Wears Prada star, dressed in a monogrammed Versace dressing gown, filmed herself getting ready with celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel. She revealed, “We get on set then I looked in the monitor and I noticed that my upper lip felt a little…wilted. So I asked Adir for a Bobby pin.” However, in the video, Hathaway quickly corrected herself, stressing the need for a hairpin over a bobby pin for her DIY lip-plumping trick.
“That matters,” she noted. She tapped the hairpin against her lips in gentle rolling motions, demonstrating her technique and explaining, “I went in and I sort of stimulated my lip to try to get some blood flow back in there, to try to get some circulation, and everyone looked at me like I had three heads.”
Anne Hathaway’s technique, though unconventional, is essentially a DIY facial massage that can be replicated at home using fingertips to boost blood flow and plump the lips. The A-lister included a crucial safety disclaimer, warning, “You can overdo this, you can push too hard, it’s meant to be a gentle, gentle thing you don’t do longer than 30 seconds. If you’ve drawn blood, you’ve gone too far.”
This simple yet effective trick quickly resonated with fans and beauty enthusiasts. In the video, featuring Meghan Trainor’s “Lips Are Movin” in the background, Hathaway humorously recounted how her lip-plumping hack initially puzzled onlookers. However, its viral reception speaks volumes about its effectiveness. One fan commented, “Idk if Anne made a deal with the devil or the Illuminati or whoever but my god she doesn’t even look 25. There’s no way she’s in her 40s,” while another added, “liptok, hair pin, vampire tok, perfect loop, GIRL!”
The Les Misérables star has seamlessly transitioned into her role as a beauty influencer, much to the delight of her followers. Her TikTok debut featured memorable moments from her outstanding career, including her iconic roles and fashion looks, further cementing her status as a beloved figure across generations. So, the next time you feel your lips need a little boost, take a tip from Anne Hathaway. Just remember her wise words: “If you’ve drawn blood, you’ve gone too far!”
