Charli XCX’s “Favorite” Lip Balm Is the TikTok-Viral Pick Bella Hadid Loves, Too – by Jordan Julian
Hydrated lips are so brat.

This summer has undeniably been the summer of Charli XCX. For months, it’s been impossible to open TikTok without seeing countless references to “brat summer” and videos of celebrities trying their hand at the “Apple” dance—both major trends inspired by the British pop star’s most recent album. In other words, Charli is the “It” girl of the moment, and when she gives her stamp of approval to a product, you can be sure that it’s cool.
Recently, the “360” singer took to TikTok to remind her followers of one of her biggest beauty must-haves—the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Charli officially became Laneige’s newest brand ambassador last week after joking earlier this summer that she’d never get the job despite her love of the brand’s nourishing skincare products.

In a May interview with British GQ, Charli gushed about the viral Lip Sleeping Mask and lamented that Laneige never sends her products despite how vocal she has been about her obsession. “Every single content piece I’ve ever done where they’re like, ‘What’s in your bag, what’s an essential item, what would you grab when you’re running out of the house?’ It’s [this lip mask],” she said. “I just really use this every day to the point where if I was going out and I didn’t have a pot of this, I would go home and get it.”
After calling it her “favorite” lip balm, Charli ended her rave review with a plea to Laneige to book her as a brand ambassador. Now, nearly three months later, her wish has come true. Last week’s TikTok post featured Charli lip syncing to the quote from her British GQ interview while holding up the Lip Sleeping Mask and the Lip Glowy Balm with a caption announcing the partnership.

Formulated with vitamin C, coconut oil, shea butter, and more, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a leave-on treatment that intensely hydrates the delicate skin on your lips. While it’s intended as an overnight mask, it can be used as a nourishing balm anytime throughout the day. Available in yummy scents including berry and vanilla, it’s the key to smoother, softer lips that won’t flake or dry out.
In addition to Charli XCX, this product’s famous fans include Bella Hadid, who recently said she “can’t live without” it in a Vogue interview earlier this year, and Sydney Sweeney, another Laneige brand ambassador. Plus, the lip mask is a viral favorite with more than 100 million posts on TikTok.

In Charli’s TikTok celebrating the Laneige ambassadorship, she also flashes the Lip Glowy Balm in the Gummy Bear scent. Another TikTok-viral beauty product, the Lip Glowy Balm is a moisturizing formula specifically intended for daytime use as a companion to the Lip Sleeping Mask. It has a sheer tint and a glossy finish, as well as a moisture-locking formula packed with shea and murumuru seed butters.

There are still a few more weeks of brat summer left, and if the indie-sleaze party girl aesthetic isn’t your cup of tea, you can at least copy Charli XCX’s hydrating lip care routine with her viral Laneige picks.
