You may love your all-purpose nudes and romantic pinks but on nights when you’re looking to sparkle a little brighter, you will only ever turn to a true red. While this bold colour has often been relegated to the après-hours section of your makeup kit, a host of versatile cherry red lippies are here to change that.
Expect the punchy hues to work their way into hydrating lip balms for leisurely weekend mornings and all-day lip tints and creamy lipsticks that don’t budge until dawn. To top it off, you can cop them for less during the Tira Turns Two sale.
Your lipstick arsenal will never be complete without a true red. For nights when you are looking to dial up the drama, you’ll want to reach for KIKO Milano’s all-eyes-on-me cherry hue. Delivered in the form of a hydrating bullet, the creamy texture glides on comfortably, without tugging on the lips.
Sultry summer nights make a strong case for bold colours and you’ll find your match in Clinique’s Pop Longwear Lipstick. While the shade range offers up an interesting array of nudes, browns and pinks, it’s the Cherry Pop hue that will have your heart. Expect full coverage that lasts for eight hours to minimise touchups during the day.
The easiest way to give everything from an LBD to casual denims a quick amp-up? The right cherry-hued lipstick. Sunny Leone’s iteration brings jojoba oil and shea butter to the table for a hydrating finish that doesn’t compromise on coverage—expect a highly pigmented hue that will make heads turn wherever you go.
There are days when you’re looking to douse your pout with the barest kiss of colour. And then there are days when you want high coverage and a va-va-voom colour payoff. Makeup Revolution’s cherry liquid lipstick was born for the latter. A single stroke offers maximum impact with a quick-drying formula that makes for easy application on the go.
Achieve that fresh, just-bitten lip look with this vibrant water tint. The lightweight formula provides a natural flush of colour that lasts all day, while the Cherry Ade shade—a juicy red—complements all skin tones. Perfect for creating effortless, everyday looks or layering under a gloss for extra shine.
Pro tip: Apply in thin layers for buildable colour, and top with a clear gloss for a plump, dewy finish.
Ever wondered what your lips would look like after a day of foraging for cherries in the countryside? ETUDE HOUSE’s lip and cheek tint has the answer. The fruity hue delivers the just-bit-into-a-cherry effect with a lightweight texture that stays put for hours without feeling heavy on the skin.
Your secret hack for nailing the memo on last-minute social plans? Having the right cherry red lipstick by your side. SUGAR offers up a feather-light texture that sinks into the lips with the hydrating touch of avocado oil and vitamins A, C and E. The creamy formula, meanwhile, feels velvety smooth even after hours of wear.
Beauty trends come and go, but the appeal of a long-lasting cherry red lipstick has yet to lose its lustre. Case in point: Charmacy Milano’s long-lasting liquid lippie that’s doused in the unforgettable hues of cherry red. The velvet matte finish promises zero cracking or bleeding, ensuring minimal touchups through the day.
On days when you’re aiming for a my-skin-but-better look, the right cherry red lip tint can help you ace the assignment. This is where Sheglam’s lip and cheek tint comes in with buildable coverage and a watery, lightweight texture that is so light, you may even forget it’s there.
While heavy-duty mattes have a well-earned place in your lipstick kit, there is no denying the appeal of a lightweight lip tint on busy mornings. The Face Shop’s cherry-hued tint will have you ready in two ticks, promising a gel-like, non-greasy formula and a transfer-proof finish throughout the day.
In the world of lip-care, a hydrating lip balm is worth its weight in gold. Bonus points if it’s doused in the on-trend hues of cherry red, like this dewy number from Innisfree. Camellia seed oil, ceramide and hyaluronic acid come together to ensure that dry, chapped lips are a thing of the past, while the buildable formula allows you to take your look to your desired intensity. Sounds like a win-win?
