Kelly Ripa appeared less than impressed with husband Mark Consuelos after he called out her beauty mishap live on-air. During the March 23 episode of LIVE, Mark interpreted his wife to inform her that she had a strand of hair stuck to her lipstick.

Mark gently took his wife's shoulder and leaned in to inspect a stray hair on her face before he removed it from her lips. "You have a little hair stuck to your lipstick. There we go," he said. "So sorry."

"I wanted it there. It's the new look, it's all the rage – putting hair in your lipstick," replied Kelly.

Kelly Ripa's secret to glossy lips

Kelly's ultra-shiny lips are courtesy of her go-to lip product – the TikTok famous Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask that ensures her pout remains supple. The trademarked antioxidant rich 'Berry Mix Complex' promotes smoother lips with nourishing and moisturizing coconut oil, shea butter, and Murumuru seed butter, along with the healing Vitamin C.

The TV star previously told Glamour it keeps her lips "nice and juicy". Kelly often reaches for the product at night and will use Ourself's glossy lip conditioner – a $45 nourishing Vitamin E lip balm –  which she wears with Lisa Rinna's Rinna Beauty lip-plumping gloss in the day.

The high-shine plumping gloss boasts collagen peptides and volumizing ingredients. It's clinically proven to improve the appearance of skin texture and reduce the appearance of lip lines.

Kelly Ripa's beauty routine

Kelly is dedicated to her television-ready beauty routine. However, she first and foremost commits to her workout routine. Jimmy Coco, celebrity fake tanner and founder of his bronzing range Sunless by Jimmy Coco, exclusively spoke to us in an interview about Kelly's secret to her red carpet sun-kissed skin.

He revealed that the spray tan appointment has to be carefully scheduled around the television star's strict workout regimen."We're always trying to tan her around her workout routine," he shared. "OK, she's going to be working out at this time. When should we tan? her workouts are really important to her."

You may assume the spray tan comes after Kelly's sweat session, but it turns out it's the opposite. "We do it way before so that she can shower and then do her workout," he added.
