Why Everyone's Talking About Anne Hathaway's Lips: Watch Her Hairpin Trick Now

Anne Hathaway's charisma isn't just screen-deep—her beauty hacks are as inventive as her film choices. Recently, the actor, who's the very definition of a scene-stealer, revealed a lip-plumping trick that's as unorthodox as it is simple, and all you need is a hairpin. Yes, you read that right—a hairpin.

While getting ready with her trusted hairstylist, Adir Abergel, Hathaway noticed her top lip seemed a bit "wilted." Abergel handed her a hairpin—broader and more U-shaped than a typical bobby pin. Hathaway demonstrated how she gently tapped the pin along her lips. This method, she explains, enhances circulation in the lips, giving them an instant, natural plumpness.

In the Chair with Anne: A Beauty Revelation

Filmed amidst the glamour of a Shiseido campaign shoot, Hathaway, sitting pretty in hairstylist Adir Abergel’s chair, shared a snippet on TikTok that's worth its weight in beauty gold. Observing her top lip with the critical eye of someone who’s spent decades in makeup chairs, she declared it looked a tad "wilted." The remedy? Not a fancy serum or a painful injection, but something as mundane as a hairpin.

Abergel handed her the U-shaped pin, which, for the uninitiated, is nothing like its slender cousin the bobby pin. With a tap-tap-tap, Hathaway demonstrated how to wake up the circulation in her lips, bringing about an instant plumpness that could give any lip filler a run for its money.

A Word to the Wise: Tread Lightly

Hathaway's pro tip comes with a caveat as crucial as the hack itself: gentleness. The star advised against turning the hack into a horror scene—"Don't stab yourself too hard, because you can draw blood," she quipped. This isn't a call to arms, but a nudge towards a nifty trick that could elevate your beauty routine.

For those occasions when a hairpin doesn't quite cut it, Hathaway and her cohort of beauty maestros have more tricks in their kit:
