"She was last seen wearing a black crop top, black leggings with a Jordan backpack in High Wycombe town centre.
"Please share, we are extremely worried, she has no phone or money.
"Police have been informed but we are yet to find her."
Leigh-Anne also shared two photos of her niece, with one showing the teen wearing glasses as she posed in a white top with a red streak in her hair.
The other image shows Faith walking down a path while holding a backpack in an outfit like the one Leigh-Anne described.
Mum of twins Leigh-Anne previously shared a post about her niece back in 2018.
It said: "My niece of 7 years once said she didn’t like her Afro & wanted to look like the other girls in her class, it broke my heart that she didn’t consider what she had as beautiful.
"Love your curls, love your Afro..we need to teach young black girls that it IS just as beautiful."
Leigh-Anne grew up in High Wycombe with her parents and sister before being propelled to fame after appearing on X-Factor in 2011.
After Jesy Nelson left girl group Little Mix, which was formed on the show, the band continued as a trio until 2022.
Leigh-Anne was the first to release new music by herself in 2023.
She delighted fans by dropping her debut solo song 'Don't Say Love' last year, and she has gone on to release 'My Love' and earlier this year, 'Stealin' Love'.
