The Celebrity-Approved Lip Color That Won’t Budge No Matter What

We’re huge fans of an unexpected beauty hack, especially when it comes from a celebrity. A-listers have the wackiest tricks up their sleeves as a result of their access to some of the most talented pros in the beauty industry—and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Take Shay Mitchell, for example: Not only does she share our love of pore strips, but she’s also pretty brave when it comes to test-driving a new look or beauty trick. In fact, the star recently gushed about her love of beets, and not just for nutritional value, but as a lip tint. Yes, really. After eating beets raw or roasted, she’ll take some of the leftover vegetable and rub it all over her pout. The result is a natural rosy flush that leaves lips looking plump and healthy all day long. It may sound strange, but does she ever not look gorgeous? We’ll take her word for it, so we’re going to go ahead and stock up on all the beets. Please excuse us.
