The "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively once again unleashed her beauty icon side as she spilled the tea on how she makes her lips look fuller and plumper with these products.

Recently, the actress behind the iconic role of Serena van der Woodsen attended the CFDA Awards 2024 and boasted unchanging looks even after about two decades.

Through her Instagram story, Lively shared a close-up view of her glam look, created by her trusted makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez.

In her captions, she was impressed with how the MUA utilized a trick to boost her pouty lips and create a fuller appearance and revealed her personal hack to achieve it.

#1: Eyeshadow Lip Trick

In her post, Blake Lively wrote, "When @cgonzalezbeauty does the Gen Z eye shadow lip trick to make your lips look huge..."

This is a reference to the current beauty trend on TikTok where influencers would use their makeup palettes to contour the lips and create the illusion that it's still part of the lips, making it look bigger.

#2: Lip Gloss With 'Alarming' Amounts of Chilli Peppers

The next hack that she shared is the one that she learned in high school which came from the millennial generation — putting chilli peppers inside the bottle of a lip gloss.

Without any makeup on, she posted her selfie at the same angle and wrote:

"We were THAT committed to bad ideas. Turns out eye shadows are way less painful..."

#3: Armani Beauty Lip Power Combo
