The best lip balms and masks, according to celebrities
Celebrities’ love for these lip products isn’t just lip service.
While plenty of superstars have their own beauty lines, not all of their pout-perfecting essentials come from their own labels.
In fact, a slew of stars have dished about their favorite lip hydrators over the years, whether while filming their routines or taking us inside their beauty bags.
From balms by makeup mainstays like Chanel and Dior to budget-friendly drugstore buys, we’ve rounded up 15 lip products stars swear by.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($24)
It’s rare to find a product stars praise as much as Laneige’s lip mask. The antioxidant-packed formula has racked up rave reviews from the likes of Kendall Jenner, Brooke Shields, Charli XCX and Kate Hudson — to name just a handful — over the years.
“Why didn’t I come up with this?” the latter star wondered in a 2023 British Vogue interview. “This is the best product right now … it smells awesome. This is like a must-have.”
Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask ($29)
Looking for “New Rules” to guide your beauty routine? Dua Lipa swears by this Tatcha product, which she recommended in her Service95 newsletter “for super-hydrated, plump lips”
Jennifer Aniston also appears to be a fan, as the product reportedly popped up in an Instagram Story of her “The Morning Show” glam setup.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm ($24)
No need to wait for Friday to shop this sheer, tinted formula. Sofia Richie once told followers she’s “clinically obsessed” with the silky balm — which comes in colors ranging from her go-to Pink Sugar shade to a deep cherry.
Meanwhile, Charli D’Amelio and Molly Sims both recommended the stuff to Page Six Style, with the latter raving that the Summer Beige version “is a go-to and never disappoints.”
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment ($25)
Looking to give your beauty routine a royal refresh? Fresh’s balm is a go-to for Meghan Markle, who touted it for “soft, kissable, buttery lips” in a Beauty Banter interview.
Margot Robbie is also a fan, as she once told Harper’s Bazaar, “I don’t like wearing lipstick because I get it all over my face, so I wear lip balm with a bit of a stain, like Burt’s Bees or Fresh.”
Mario Badescu Lip Mask ($13)
Mario Badescu is a longtime favorite for famous folks like Martha Stewart, who swears by facials at its NYC salon. Brie Larson, on the other hand, opts for this more portable pout treatment from the brand.
“I’ll use it also at night before I go to sleep,” she told Vogue of the açai- and vanilla-scented mask.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care ($52)
When she’s not strutting Chanel’s runways, Gigi Hadid swears by the brand’s lip balm.
“Chanel Hydra Beauty is my all-time favorite lip moisturizer,” she told Byrdie in 2022. “I just love how thick it is. I love the smell. It’s the one beauty thing that I spend money on.”
Ilia Lip Wrap Reviving Balm ($24)
When it comes to Hollywood’s favorite clean beauty brands, Ilia practically cleans up. The label’s beloved by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Olivia Wilde — and “The Summer I Turned Pretty” star Lola Tung recently gushed over this lip balm.
“It has this cooling effect … I love to hydrate my lips before I do a bold lip because I feel like it makes the application a lot easier,” she raved in a 2023 Vogue video.
Burt’s Bees Lip Balm (from $4)
From “The Bachelor” to “Barbie,” plenty of famous folks are buzzing about Burt’s Bees. Margot Robbie once name-dropped the product, while Bachelor Nation star Zach Shallcross told us he used it on the ABC dating show to stay kissable at all times.
“[I] wasn’t always a fan of chapstick, but ever since I tried this kind of Burt’s Bees, it hasn’t left my pocket,” he raved.
Glossier Balm Dotcom ($14)
Gigi Hadid and Ashley Tisdale are reportedly fans of this bestselling buy from Glossier, which is designed to nourish and hydrate.
Dr. Hauschka Lip Balm ($17)
You don’t have to be “Friends” with Jennifer Aniston to steal her beauty secrets. The star’s praised this product in at least four different interviews over the years, from telling Elle she’s a lip balm “addict” to calling it a “favorite” in a chat with The Cut.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment (from $4)
As for what might make Billie Eilish “Happier Than Ever?” The star once raved to Vogue about Aquaphor, saying she has a tube “with [her] at all times, 24/7.”
Drew Barrymore is also a fan; “I put it on my lips like it’s going out of style,” she once told Into the Gloss.
Avène Cold Cream Nutrition Lip Balm (from $13)
While Kendall Jenner uses this French drugstore buy for flying, it’ll cost you much less than a plane ticket to Paris.
“I always need a good Chapstick. You know, you get dry in the air,” she once told Allure. “I have Avène Cold Cream Lip Cream in the squeeze tube.”
Dior Lip Glow Oil ($40)
For lip care that doubles as a high-shine gloss, consider this fresh vanilla-scented formula from Dior. The viral buy has popped up on the pouts of both Bella Hadid and TikTok star Alix Earle.
Smith’s Rosebud Salve ($3)
While stars like Beyoncé have access to the best beauty products around, certain drugstore finds just might be “Irreplaceable.”
“I wear it with my lipstick,” she told Allure of this salve in 2011. “I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything!”
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss Cupuaçu Lip Butter ($18)
While plenty of stars slather on Sol de Janeiro’s cult-favorite Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($48), Hillary Duff’s beauty arsenal also incudes its hydrating balm.
“It smells so good,” the “Lizzie McGuire” star once told the New York Times. “And now they have a lip balm, and I can’t stop. My son smelled it the other day, and he goes, ‘Mom that smells like Hawaii.’ I was like, ‘I know, let’s go!’”
