Unlike TikTok's blurry lip trend, which is all about toning down your lip color to make it appear as soft and natural as possible, the cherry cola lip trend was created to stand out. It was made for people who enjoy a luxurious lip color, like something an ultra-fashionable vampire might wear on a night out. It's also tweakable enough that you can wear it to work or out for brunch with friends.

These bold lips are characterized by their rich, deep shades of brown and red. You may not think brown and red were meant to go together, but this trend makes the combo work thanks to sticking to a darker palette. The result is something akin to burgundy or wine red. Makeup artist Mira Parmar agrees; while talking with Refinery29 about the popular trend, Parmar said, "They actually complement each other as the brown gives the definition and the red lends the punch." The colors combine perfectly to create a delightfully similar shade to your favorite cherry-flavored carbonated drink.
