The fact that Lizzo is a legend is nothing new to us. But something that’s new to Lizzo, is the art of waxing upper lip hair. But the singer recently took to TikTok to give it a whirl.
Yep, instead of going the laser route or paying someone else to deal with it (as we would if we were famous), she enlisted the help of a $5 supermarket buy instead: Nads Facial Wax Strips (was $8.40, now $5.28 at Woolworths).
But before she hopped to it, she had some words of wisdom to share.
“Body hair is natural. We need hair on our bodies to protect us from things… to keep us warm. Also, it’s beautiful and frames your face, and, you know, is unique to each and every different person.”
So what led Lizzo to wax her moustache?
“I posted my performance from New Year’s Eve and I saw a comment that said ‘Lizzo, please let me wax your moustache’,” she laughed. “I was not offended by this comment. A moustache is a moustache, honey. If you got it, you got it. If you don’t, you don’t.”
The thing is, Lizzo didn’t think prior to the comment that she had a moustache. Instead, she thought it was her hyperpigmentation casting different lights and shadows.

“So I just want to conduct an experiment. I want to take my makeup off and see if this will work on my facial hair,” she said, holding up the strips.
“I’m honestly just a curious kitten and I kind of like pain,” she added. Lizzo, you can take our waxing appointments anytime.
She did find after waxing a few sections that there were fine hairs left on the strips but ultimately, she wasn’t fussed either way.
“Was there a difference? For me, not so much. Were you beautiful before removing your body hair? Yes.”
And it was her final thoughts that reminded us just how much we love her: “Whatever you choose to do with your body is your business, enjoy the time that you’re here. Don’t let anybody tell you the way that you are is not beautiful.”
We won’t Lizzo, we promise.
Are you a fan of Lizzo’s? Have you ever tried facial waxing strips?
I haven’t heard of this lady before!
You’ve almost certainly heard her songs without knowing who they were by. “Juice”, “Good as Hell”, hmm – mental blank – there are lots!
I like “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)”.
I don’t think I’ve heard any of these songs before
She is new to me but she is so right .
Love Lizzo. She’s so funny!
I would have liked to see a before and after photo. I’ve never waxed my upper lip but it would be interesting to see if it makes a/any difference.
Yes I am a fan. Her songs are so catchy and uplifting. I have also tried facial wax strips. Love the feeling of my smooth skin afterwards.
I love Lizzo she’s so authentic! She seems like so much fun
And real !
Lizzo is just awesome!
I love Lizzo, she is a good role model for body confidence
absolutely and why not !!
Never met her, so don’t know. Once had lip waxed. So smooth!
It’s a personal choice if you want to wax it or not.
I love her.
Lizzo is a legend! ❤
I used hair remover creams in my youth, & then I plucked them, but now I’ve done IPL – love it!
I guess IPL would be the best.
Lizzo is one beautiful lady with awesome skin,hair,eyes and the most fantastic lips who care about a little hair and who is looking ?
I’ve never waxed anything on my face before. I’ts great she was’nt offended and was a good sport about it.
Lizzo is so popular
I have tried facial waxing stipes and love it.
I’ve heard of Lizzo although I don’t know too much about her.
I tried those strips and didn’t find them effective.
I love her attitude.
Lizzo is a funny woman and she is happy in the body she has which is great, especially these days with so much media around on body image.
I had no idea who Lizzo was until now
Looks painful. I am lucky I guess, dont have a mustache.
Haha. Love her straightforwardness.
Lizzo has the most fantastic lips so who would analyses anyone for a tiny bit if facial hair, get real
I always use facial wax strips, if i can save myself money and time anywhere i take it. I tend to only do my mustache though because i get allergies everywhere else.
She seems pretty down to earth and confident.
Nads Facial Wax Strips (was $8.40, now $5.28 at Woolworths). Good special
This sounds like it would be too painful for me
She sounds really down to earth
Do love Lizzo. I am a recent fan not of facial waxing but dermaplaning which removes all your hair on your face. It is my current obsession and it helps my skincare routine absorb better into my skin.
Love her songs
I sometimes think criticism to this extent is a little of the tall poppy syndrome.
Love her
I love Lizzo, she is real and authentic, not like most of the plastic dolls out there.
I hadn’t heard of her and then these last few weeks she always seems to be in the news. I like this lady and what she stands for
I generally use Nair, or pluck
i read that she is thinking of giving up hew music as too much fat shaming . Give the lady a break . Personal opinions should not be used to bully and hurt people.
I agree with her standing up for beauty of all types.
