&ldquo;Brownie glazed lips&rdquo; is a beauty staple within many Black and Latina communities, and these celebs are proof that the beauty technique has always been around.

There&rsquo;s a certain beauty look that&rsquo;s been circling around the internet called &ldquo;brownie glazed lips." A beauty technique that lines dark brown liner around the lips paired with lip gloss, it was instantly deemed a hot new trend after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-birthday-street-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> took to TikTok to demonstrate how to do the lip combo with her Rhode cosmetics products. Immediately fans took to their own platforms to try the technique and numerous media outlets reported on how to do &ldquo;Hailey Bieber&rsquo;s Brownie Glazed Lip&rdquo; trend.&nbsp;
Not long after all the hype, there was an incredible amount of backlash about the whole thing&mdash;and rightfully so. &ldquo;Brownie glazed lips&rdquo; is not a new trend and is actually a staple within many Black and Latina communities. The issue that was called out was not that Bieber wore the lip combo, but was being unfairly credited for the technique.
Historically, fashion looks and beauty techniques that have been around for decades in Black and Latina communities are suddenly viewed as desirable and worth trying only after white/ white-passing individuals do it themselves. For Bieber to be considered a trendsetter for &ldquo;brownie glazed lips&rdquo; when Black and Latina women have been looked down upon and called &ldquo;ghetto&rdquo; for wearing the exact same thing is another example of society perpetuating a beauty standard that prioritizes whiteness.
&ldquo;Brownie glazed lips&rdquo;&nbsp; has always been around in Black and Latina communities, though the technique really came to the forefront of the beauty scene in the &lsquo;90s and early 2000s. Celebrities such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-campbell-most-iconic-90s-catwalk-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naomi Campbell</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/brandy-best-90s-fashion-moments-young-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brandy</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/halle-berry-instagram-trench-coat-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Halle Berry</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/jenniferlopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Lopez</a> were all captured with standout beauty moments while donning &ldquo;brownie glazed lips.&rdquo;&nbsp;
With the current revival of &lsquo;90s and Y2K fashion, it&rsquo;s understandable why the beauty looks of those times would also re-emerge. Contrary to credit that has been wrongfully given, &ldquo;brownie glazed lips&rdquo; is nothing new&mdash;it&rsquo;s been around for decades and is now seeing a resurgence in mainstream popularity. To give credit where credit is due, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL has provided a round-up on how celebrities have worn &ldquo;brownie glazed lips&rdquo; over the years.
