Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of head-turning TikTok makeup trends, but bunny tongue lip glosses might take the cake. Yes, you read that right! Bunny tongue lip gloss is taking over TikTok. If the name isn’t self-explanatory, don’t worry. To fully understand the meaning and purpose of this trend, you have to hear the backstory for yourself.
According to the TikTok user @sacheu, the bunny tongue lip gloss phenomenon started on the Chinese social media app Douyin, where Douyin makeup originated and continues to influence today's beauty trends. What caused a stir was a picture of an adorable bunny, but not for the reason you’d imagine. Instead, makeup fans on the Douyin app noticed that the color of the bunny’s tongue looked like the perfect shade of pink for a lip gloss. So, they began to search for a shade that would be a color match. After many trials and tribulations, one lip gloss in particular was said to be the closest color; the Sephora Collection Outrageous Plumping Lip Gloss in the shade Pink Pout.
After TikTok users caught wind of this, it understandably began to trend again — @sacheu’s video now has over five million views. After the initial shock and cooing at the cuteness, creators decided to join the effort and began putting in their bids for the perfect bunny tongue lip gloss shade. Some of the most popular options include the NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss in the shade Crème Brulee and the Tower 28 Beauty ShineOn Lip Jelly Non-Sticky Gloss in the shade Coconut.
While the above options are definitely close matches, it’s always good to have options. So, the editors at Teen Vogue sought to find the perfect shades of pink lip gloss. These bunny tongue lip glosses are not only some of our favorites for everyday wear, but they’ll also have you looking as cute as a bunny.
