When Mary Phillips shares makeup advice, we listen. The makeup artist works with stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Kim Kardashian. Most recently, Phillips found herself in the limelight for her viral “under-painting” foundation technique, which is a contouring method that involves contouring and highlighting the face before putting foundation on.
Since then, Phillips has been sharing makeup tutorials and hacks on her Instagram and TikTok. Her most recent tutorial involved “cherry cola lips,” which have been going viral on TikTok. Cherry cola lips involve lining your lips using a nude or burgundy lip liner, then filling in the lips with a cherry-red lip color, and finishing with a gloss.
Essentially, this lip trend is just what it sounds like—it’s inspired by the colors of a glass of cherry-flavored cola. It plays with textures and colors to get a fun, flirty lip look that’s perfect for late summer. Keep reading for Phillips’ take on the trend.
Start by filling lips with a nude pencil, or pick a burgundy-leaning tone to pack a bit more of a punch. Phillips chose a tawny-colored neutral and over-lined her cupid’s bow.
For a cherry tint, Phillips pressed this red-toned balm into the center of her lips. She used her ring finger to blend it in.
Phillips topped everything off with a sheer, sparkly brown lip gloss to create an effervescent effect.
