Girl, before we even get to this Hailey Bieber dragging on TikTok, let me tell ya’ll something about my 90’s experience!
I am from the ‘left side of an island’ as our girl RiRi would say, so traditional lip gloss from high-end stores was not a thing for me or my high school friends for a hot minute.
BUT sis! Where there is a will there is a way! Right?
We used to use good ole vaseline and lip liner to get the lips poppin and blended to perfection… the result was this brown shiny sexy vibe that looked amazing.
So when we saw Hailey Bieber pull out this 90’s beauty staple for her followers we knew all too well why black and brown TikTok creators would call her out for her NEW ‘brownie glazed’ lip trend.
According to Yahoo the model and owner of Rhode Skin posted a video showing her favorite new fall lip trend, and TikTok let her know their aunties have been doing this since the 90s.

In the clip captioned, “the lip combo vibe I’m feeling for fall”, Bieber does a quick tutorial for her followers.
She begins by lining her lips with a brown lip liner, applies her Peptide Lip Treatment as the clear gloss topper, then blends the two, creating a classic glossy chocolate lip shade.
As reported by Stylecaster, the look is part of the viral “clean girl aesthetic” and “gym lip” trends that have been all over TikTok.
The idea is to have a no-makeup makeup look that includes overlining your lips with a brown or neutral lip pencil and then topping with a clear gloss or lip treatment.
While Bieber never claimed she invented the lip trend, the attention that she is getting for an aesthetic that has belonged to POC for a long time is upsetting to melanated beauty creators.
Followers were quick to let Bieber know her glossy lips were nothing new under the sun.

“Before it becomes a yt girl trend” @saeedahhaque reminds us of all the beauties that rocked the trend before Bieber.

And user @the_rogue_essentials goes deep into how Bieber’s video is “an example of how wealthy white creators profit off of cultural appropriation, and how trends are just marketing.”
The #brownieglazedlips hashtag has over 3.6 million views on TikTok. Most of the videos share the same sentiment that while trends never truly reinvent the wheel, acknowledgment should be given to those who inspired them.
Respectfully, we’re tired of our culture being gentrified. We wanted to honor the WOC who have been rocking this lip combo since the 90’s. Here are the originators #brownieglazedlips pic.twitter.com/BYjCxmMWYc

I don’t just blame Hailey Bieber for this #brownieglazedlips thing. It’s fans that didn’t hold her accountable for cultural appropriation!
