Hi Barbie, bye Barbie! In the past few months, the magenta-pink tribute that was splattered everywhere from retail fronts to merchandise collaborations has since lost some of its magic now that she has lived her life as a moving picture movie star. Perhaps it's time to make way for her (theorised) dolled-up co-stars Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade from Bratz instead.

In early August, Bratz announced the very first Bratz x Celebrity collaboration, unveiling Kylie Jenner collectibles that adorn her most iconic red carpet looks. From attempting the Kylie Jenner lip challenge in 2015 in hopes of mimicking her real-life (though surgically enhanced) full Bratz lips to an actual Bratz doll partnership, this collaboration has brought back many fond memories. This then poses the question: how can we achieve her famed wet lips look? Lucky for you, this edit explores several glosses and liners you can use to emulate her famous pout.

Attempting to start this list without first mentioning the reality star’s very own brand would be a crime; which is why the Gloss Drip from Kylie Cosmetics is a must-have, and probably the closest you can get to achieving her kisser. Created and loved by Kylie herself, the Gloss Drip is pillowy soft in texture and promises an instant juicier, fuller pout upon application. Fall in Love is a shade that is truly well-loved by many no matter their skin tones because of how easy it is to pull off, and looks great on literally anyone with its berry red-brown colour as well as its highly reflective finish. We all love a good deal - rumour has it that you can also get to enjoy up to 2 free samples of your choice upon checkout; more is more if you ask me!

The next time you’re in stores, do consider the items from Sephora’s in-house collection for they offer a wide range of quality products. One such example would be their lip glosses, which offer comfortable wear and help to plump that pout for a fuller, luscious appearance, just like the Bratz dolls. They are dressed in a mirror glaze for maximum dewiness while keeping your lips hydrated and moisturised. Cool-toned girlies will also definitely be bewitched by the perfect shade of pink in 07 Pink Pout; made viral on both Chinese social media platform Xiao Hong Shu as well as TikTok, people were sent into a frenzy scouring the internet for an exact colour match after an image of a bunny’s tongue was regarded as the ultimate sweet pink for a lip gloss.

Dubbed the dupe of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Beauty best-selling peptide lip tint, the Lip Butter Balm by Summer Fridays is currently more accessible and delivers a similar juicy, syrup-coated lips that the former offers its beauty babes. A fantastic 2-in-1 formula created to condition and nourish dry, chapped lips, the product also glides on smoothly like a stick of butter on a hot pan to dispense a generous amount of gorgeous, shiny gloss in varying nude shades. It is a non-sticky, non-greasy formula with high shine and mega moisturising benefits that goes on sheer which allows for layering to get that true Bratz pout.

Layer it on top of a lipstick or wear it by itself, it is versatile, hydrating, and delivers an insane wet look fitting of everyone’s favourite famed 90’s dolls.
