Stacey Solomon received tons of praise when she shared her beauty tip for achieving “duck lips” with two simple products. The Sort Your Life Out host answered her fan’s request to review NYX’s new Duck Plump Lip Gloss, but she was disappointed with the results.
The £10.50 make-up claims to give you a voluptuous, glossy pout in one swipe and Stacey was excited to try them, but it didn’t give her a ‘tingling sensation’ like lip make-up does. She said in a TikTok: “Hey, I got them – Nyx Duck Plump Lip Gloss. This one is distinctly spicy – I guess it’s clear and spicy and this one is called Mauve Out of My Way.
“Let’s try it clear and do this half, see if this half gets bigger. Now what? High pigment plumping gloss – there’s no pigment in this, that’s for sure. I honestly can’t feel anything. “Don’t feel feel anything, I can feel the slightest tingle, but if you drink a ginger shot…no, it’s not even as strong as a ginger shot. It doesn’t really do anything for me.” Disappointed with the results, Stacey shared her trick for getting “duck lips”.

“If you want lips, just draw them. OK? This (lip gloss) is not going to give you lips,” she said. “Get a lip liner and draw outside the line of your lip. I’ll do one side so you can see.” She picked up her Morphe Color Pencil, and we thought it was the color Backseat Love, and she started drawing “outside the lip line”. Stacey added: “This is only if you want ridiculously bigger lips. If you want to have lips, this is what you really have to do.
“Already this side looks way bigger than that side? You know what the real catch is? Use a lighter lip liner than the color you’re going to put on. Pick a darker lip color over it and then Bob’s your uncle Look at the difference Why bother we to the cream when you can just draw on it and it looks better?
“Sorry Nyx, it’s a nice formula but still quite expensive.” Stacey used her L’Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Resistance Lipstick, probably in the shade Snooze Your Alarm. Fans cackled after watching Stacey’s video, with one saying: “I love your honesty and we need more people like you. A lot of us don’t have money to waste so thank you!”
