Tiktokers have been trading in the latte make-up trend for a sweeter fix as of late. Enter #CherryColaLips, which according to brand Revolution Beauty, has so far raked in 4.9 million views on TikTok and counting. The trend first popped up back in April, with searches increasing by 925% over the past two months as Cherry Cola Lips gained momentum on the platform. But, just what are cherry cola lips and how do we recreate them?
“The Cherry Cola Lip trend is a make-up style that draws inspiration from the rich, deep colors of a cherry cola soda,” says make-up artist Yasmin Salmon. Combining reds and browns with high-shine textures, this beauty look is about feeling fun and flirty. Rather than covering up your natural colors with matte textures and nude hues, this trend is about letting your natural lips peer through a juicy layer of vibrant color, to create the perfect pout. “It’s a versatile trend that can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to add a bold and vibrant touch to their look,” continues Salmon. “All you need to do is find the perfect shades to suit your skin tone.”
The key components of this look are the color (a red/brown shade) and texture (lacquer) which means you’ll need a great lip liner and excellent juicy gloss. “To recreate the trend I would get a brown-toned, nude lip liner that is a bit darker than your natural color and use it to outline your lips, shading in at the corners slightly to give more of a pouty effect,” says make-up artist India Excell. “Then get any tone of a red or pink balm or gloss that you feel suits you best and dab it on top.”
