Close your eyes. Imagine the sun kissing your skin, the temperature rising and you lying lazily on a lounger by the pool, a small table next to you with an ice-cold Coke and a bowl full of red, shiny, juicy cherries. That's the mood BeautyTok's latest viral trend is trying to mimic: Cherry Cola Lips. Inspired by the brown lip liner and gloss combination loved by so many BIPOC stars of the 90s and recently referenced by Hailey Bieber's Brownie Glazed Lips, and a summerier and simpler version of Gothic Vampire Lips, the new makeup to mimic is reaching millions of views on TikTok.
What are Cherry Cola Lips?
Cherry Cola Lips, as the name suggests, are reminiscent of lemonade and fruit. They combine the brown of a cola with the deep berry red of a cherry to create a fun and flirty makeup that's perfect for the end of summer. The secrets? The colour contrast between contour and midsection and the gloss, details that give the lips an irresistibly juicy effect and have already won over Kylie Jenner, Lola Leon and Amelia Grey.

This make-up can be rejected in many ways. Depending on personal taste and the colours that suit us best, you can play with adding or removing drama, emphasising shine and going more towards cherry black or cola brown, which remain the true hallmarks of the look. There are those who simply apply a dark pencil to the lip contours and fill in the centre area with a lipstick or lip gloss; those who apply a cherry lip lacquer over a light ombré effect with a burgundy pencil; and those who prefer to colour the entire lips brown and then, when the lacquer has dried, colour in the lips with a red lipstick. The easiest method? This one:
- Exfoliate your lips with a scrub and apply a lip balm to keep them well moisturised so products apply better and last longer without having to reapply make-up.
- Use a dark, buttery lip colour pencil to colour in the entire surface of the lips, not just the cupid's bow and the corners. Alternatively, apply a brown lipstick directly, also with a creamy consistency, so that it blends seamlessly with the next layer of colour.
- Apply a cherry-coloured gloss (also plumping) that blends with the previous layer of colour to achieve the signature juicy, glossy look of Cherry Cola Lips.
