In addition to getting rid of all her freckles, Olivia Munn’s lips look fuller than when she started as an actress. Fans have started questioning if she has undergone lip augmentation, a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips.

Debunking Lip Filler Rumors: Olivia Munn’s Makeup Magic

In February 2018, Olivia tried to shut down the lip filler rumors by sharing and later deleting a makeup live on Instagram. She claimed her enlarged lips were the result of some perfectly applied lipstick.

In her Instagram story, Munn demonstrated the transformation by wiping off her lipstick to show the stark contrast between her natural and enhanced lips, proving her pout was all makeup magic.

“On my way to the airport, so gotta bring down my makeup,” she said, removing makeup on her mouth to prove that her lips are real.

While Olivia confidently debunked rumors about her lips, she has also been candid about her struggles with anxiety, even when facing the glitz and glamour of Hollywood events.

Anxious but Fearless: Olivia Munn’s Red Carpet Confessions

It’s hard to imagine any celebrity having anxiety — let alone Olivia Munn!

The witty and confident celebrity — who in November 2015 called out an ESPN reporter publicly for pinning the blame on her for her boyfriend Aaron Rodgers’ NFL slump — seems fearless.

But, as it turns out? There is one thing that makes Olivia anxious. The same month, the then-35-year-old let us all in on her secret as she attended the T-Mobile Uncarrier X launch, which was held in Los Angeles.

So, what causes her anxiety? Adorably, it’s the fact that she can no longer keep up with so many good television shows coming out.

Olivia said there’s always some new show someone tells her about, to the point that it becomes anxiety-inducing for her to keep up.

Jimmy Choo Elegance: Olivia Munn’s Statement Shoes

The actress showed off her pretty feet in Jimmy Choo’s “Minny” sandals, which have long been a favorite among celebrities for their timeless elegance.

Olivia Munn isn’t the only star to favor this iconic design—Emma Stone, for example, paired the ‘Minny’ sandals with a sophisticated black gown at the 2017 Golden Globes, showcasing their versatility for high-profile events. Margot Robbie also wore the ‘Minny’ sandals in metallic silver at the premiere of ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, further solidifying their status as a red-carpet staple.
