The Live With Kelly and Mark star filmed herself applying lip liner in the front-facing post.
She wore her blonde hair back with bobby pinks and some light blush in a dressing room as she talked about her lips.
“Although I do enjoy the shape of my lips, like all women my age, my upper lip seems to be sucked down into Middle Earth,” she joked.
Kelly proceeded to trace the outside of her lip line with a brown Chanel crayon, making for a much more plump silhouette.
“It’s gonna look nuts,” she admitted. “But just bare with me.”
Kelly revealed she only traces her upper lip with the notably dark color but leaves her bottom lip alone because it’s “fine.”
She then added red lip liner to her entire lips topped them off with even lighter pink lipstick.
When she was all done, her lips looked TV-ready and just like her signature look.
“No, I didn’t get lip fillers. This is the lip trick you monsters,” she captioned the post.
MIXED REACTIONS
Fans gush over Kelly’s clapback in the comments, while others noticed that the video – ironically, about the star being candid with fans – was heavily filtered.
“Obsessed with the Queen Ripa clap back posts!!!” one comment read.
“It would mean more if you weren’t using a filter,” wrote another.
“Either way, why are you trying to look 20?” asked a third.
“I would have never known that this was Kelly Ripa!” accused a fourth.
“No fillers but definitely a filter,” quipped a fifth.
One more gushed, “Wow Kelly that’s awesome, thank you for sharing! You look so pretty as always.”
‘LEARNED THIS ON INSTAGRAM!’
On the July 3 episode of her talk shw, Kelly showed off the lip-liner makeup hack before the closeup on social media.
“I learned this on Instagram,” Ripa said during the broadcast.
“The girls on Instagram do it, they paint their entire upper lip brown. I don’t have that level of makeup artistry, I just don’t have it.”
She continued to share her own technique, “So, what I’ve been doing is taking a brown eyeliner and I trace on the outside of my lip line and then I fill it in and then I take a regular like, MAC Spice or whatever your lip liner of choice is, and I trace outside of that.”
She explained, “It’s like a double layer. So, I’m basically manufacturing a lip line.”
Her co-host and husband Mark Consuelos poured over her with compliments when she was done, saying, “It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful. It really looks beautiful.”
Ripa kept it real, telling him, “What’s sad though is when I take my makeup off and I watch it go away, it is very, it’s alarming.”
‘STILL GRAY’
Earlier this week, Mark debuted his new look on Live with Kelly and Mark for an upcoming TV role.
The Riverdale alum shaved off all his hair while joking, “It’s like a chinchilla!” in quite the jarring overhaul.
Meanwhile, last month, Kelly got canded about the disappointing experience of covering up her gray hair.
On the show, she complained that “it’s still gray” after spending “11-teen hours in the hair color chair.”
“We sprayed my roots this morning,” she explained for why you couldn’t actually see the gray hairs on the television screen.
“We sprayed the roots with the darkening spray. So I don’t know what to do at this point.
Do I just become full Mrs. Claus, or what am I doing?”
