If you read up on the celebs (and we all do), you just know they’re partial to a totally weird and wonderful hack. From Julia Roberts’ olive oil skin care claims (you’ve got to hear about them) to Jennifer Aniston’s salmon sperm facial (ew, but intrigued) we thought we’d seen it all. That was until Anne Hathaway stepped up to the plate, offering up a very Gen Z lip plumping hack.
Because when it comes to perfected pouts no one does it better than the celebs. With their lips full of filler (or naturally full pouts; jealous!), the stars have created a world where full lips come out on top. Even Anne, being the demure queen that she is, finds a way to pump up her pout. Although, it’s not exactly hard to pick up a pout-plumping pick (Priceline have a fantastic range). But if you’re looking for luscious lips without the gloss, Anne has you covered.
Basically, it’s official, because the Princess of Genovia has spoken… And decreed this as her ultimate luscious lip hack!
Anne Hathaway Lip Plumping Hack
Taking to socials to share her ingenious hack, Anne had to show off how she gets the blood pumping back to her pout. The star has a simple trick (that turned some heads on set) that basically guarantees a short-term hit of plump lips.
After being sat having her hair and makeup done for a shoot, Anne felt that her lips looked ‘wilted’. Look, it’s not a word we’d ever use to describe anything about Anne Hathaway, but still, the star felt like her pout could do with some plumping.
So, she decided to show off her #liptok hack. Grabbing a hair pin (not the same as a bobby pin); you know the U-shaped, ballet bun-holding ones?), Anne took to lightly and gently tapping the pronged end across her lips to stimulate some bloodflow, giving off the appearance of fuller lips. Now you tell us….
Get a pack of the U-shaped hair pins for just $9.99 at Amazon Australia and enjoy their multi-purpose benefits. We guess we’re going to have to have a few of these pucker-plumping pins floating at the bottom of our bag at all times now. Anne said so! But fair warning, you CAN overdo it. Make sure to gently tap at your lips, and if you’ve drawn blood, you’ve gone way too far.

What’s the strangest beauty hack you live by? Would you try the Anne Hathaway lip plumping method?
That would only last a minute at most
That’s exactly what I thought
She wouldn’t have even left the house
MMMM !!
That looks funny but I will pass .
Weird, She can’t be serious?
I thought it was odd too
Probably did it once
Personally I think some lips look awful when they have been plumped too much.
Gross !!
Can’t you just do the same thing with your finger?
Yes I would think so
I love Anne, the Devil wears Prada is my favourite
Wasn’t that a wonderful movie. Loved it andshe is lovely
An interesting one to try – if you can find a hairpin
What a load of Hooey!
I can’t see that working at all.
She just gets better with age.
I don’t need it.
Interesting i feel like this wont work..
I’m generally not keen on lip plumping as it seems to involve inflaming your lips.
Haha, I dont think I could be bothered to do that.
The effects wouldn’t last very long
This trick is not for me
Wonder how long the effects would last?
Saw that on tiktok haha, she’s hilarious
She really gets better with age. She is stunning.
This doesn’t seem worth the effort.
