When Mary Phillips shares makeup advice, we listen. The makeup artist works with stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra, Salma Hayek, Dua Lipa, and Hailee Steinfeld. Most recently, Phillips found herself in the limelight for underpainting, a viral contour technique that involves contouring and highlighting the face before putting foundation on.
Since then, Phillips has shared makeup tutorials and hacks on her Instagram and TikTok. Hermost recent tutorial involved “cherry cola lips,” which have gone viral on TikTok. Cherry cola lips involve lining your lips using a nude or burgundy lip liner before filling them in with cherry-red lip color and finishing with a gloss.
Inspired by the colors in a glass of cherry-flavored Coke, this lip trend plays with textures and colors for a fun and flirty look perfect for late summer. Keep reading for Phillips’ take on the trend.

Step 1: Line
Start by lining your lips with a nude pencil or pick a burgundy-leaning tone to pack a bit more punch. Phillips chose a tawny-colored neutral and over-lined her cupid’s bow.
In the quest for flawless beauty, nothing screams confidence like a perfectly plump lip. It’s that little touch that can instantly take your everyday look from drab to fab. Now, while some may opt for more invasive measures, like fillers, to achieve those enviable lips, there’s a simpler solution right at your fingertips: makeup. With just a few strokes of a lip pencil, you too can unlock the secrets of a luscious pout. The magic lies in the art of overlining, a technique that can dramatically transform your look. But hold on tight before you dive into a whirlwind of lip pencils and glosses. There are some crucial tips and tricks you mustn’t overlook if you want to rock that envy-inducing look.
Choosing the right lip pencil is essential. Always try to match as close as possible to your lipstick shade when opting for a bold hue such asred. As for neutrals, the rule is to never go more than 3 shades deeper. And remember quality matters. Investing in a reliable, long-lasting formula will ensure your masterpiece stays intact throughout the day. Today our weapon of choice is NOVABEAUTY 2 in 1 Snatched Lip Liner – Brown 02.
Technique matters just as much as the tools. When it comes to overlining, precision is your ally. Start by ensuring your lip liner is sharp to allow for precise application. Here’s where having a sharpener on hand is essential. Now, it’s time for action. Start from the center of your cupid’s bow and carefully trace along the natural lip line, gradually working your way outwards. This method will lend your lips that extra oomph without going overboard. From there, use alip brush and blend the liner inwards, keeping the outer edge visible. At last, your lips are full and primed for your lipstick color of choice.
After years of caking our lips with drying, opaque liquid lipsticks that made us look like a corpse after a couple of hours, it’s no secret that what’s considered the hot thing in lip products has done a 180. Gone are the days of the word “matte” being the most sought-after thing in lips, and instead, hydrating, juicy products have taken their place.

There’s nothing quite like a pout that looks hydrated, dewy, and coated in a sheen that captures the overall clean,low-maintenance beauty look that everyone’s been trying to achieve over the past few months. Having lips that get you compliments doesn’t require a trip to the injector—all it takes is having a few products you can turn to to make yours as plump and juicy as possible.
These tried-and-true products will make your chapped lips a thing of the past and will make a full, hydrated pout your present and future.
If you want juicy, moisturized lips with a hint of color, this product will be your new holy grail. It’s a hydrating, melting, glossy balm that leaves lips with a high-shine, plump finish. Let’s just say there’s a reason it was sold out for months after it was released.
Finding a non-sticky gloss used to be next to impossible, but not anymore. This lip oil comes in four shades (including a clear) that gives lips lightweight hydration and a completely non-sticky shine. If it’s TikToker Mikayla Nogueira’s favorite lip oil, you know it must be good.
If you’ve been on TikTok lately, odds are you’ve seen this product (likely dozens and dozens of times). This gloss-balm hybrid nourishes, hydrates, and plumps lips while delivering the color payoff of a lipstick. It’ll leave you with a dewy, high-shine pout with a wash of color that’ll make it your new favorite lip product for fall.
If you’re looking for a treatment that’ll make your lips have a lasting plump, look no further. This overnight lip-plumping treatment supports natural collagen production and uses hyaluronic acid so you wake up with lips that look bigger (and will stay that way with continued use). In both a soft pink and cherry shade, you also can use it over a lip liner for a gloss alternative that’ll treat your lips all day long.
When Hailey Bieber’s skincare line, Rhode, dropped, everything sold out almost instantly and has been getting rave reviews ever since. Their Peptide Lip Treatment is a restorative balm for plump, soft lips, and has over 6,000 reviews and a 4.7-star rating. After a month of use, I can vouch that it’s by far the most hydrating lip product I’ve ever used. A future me is stocking up, but lately, I’ve been taking the one I have everywhere I go.
Another TikTok-viral product, this is a gloss and treatment in one that will give you immediate, lasting hydration. With just a couple of swipes, you’ll get the same shiny payoff as a gloss with a sexy wash of color.
We’re living in a world where lip treatments aren’t reserved exclusively for at-home use. Putting on your favorite mask and heading out of the house can look just as good as a gloss, but with added benefits. This treatment has a rich, buttery formula packed with fatty acids and lip-boosting actives for your healthiest-looking lips ever.
This cult-favorite lip product has racked up a perfect five-star review, and when you experience it, you immediately understand why. It’s a rich, buttery lip balm formulated to not cause more dryness and deliver a sheer, buildable wash of color. Not only does it increase lip volume and firmness, but it hydrates deeply every single time you put it on.
If there’s one lip product our editors can’t live without, it’s Langeige’s famous Lip Sleeping Mask. The ultra-hydrating, leave-on mask has won award after award, with reviews swearing that it banished dry lips for good. Overnight, it’ll transform your lips and diminish the look of fine lines, both of which you’ll see and feel the benefits of all day long.
If you’ve read this blog for a long, then you know we make a lot of stuff. I mean, you should see my bathroom. It’s a nightmare of bottles and jars of concoctions to test out. Some make the cut, and some sit for so long I completely forget what’s in them (apparently that’s what labels are for).

But this DIY, this recipe is one I am so excited about. Because I love, love, love it. It’s easy to make (3 ingredients!) and makes the prettiest color for your cheeks and lips. It’s lightweight and perfect for summer.
I’m all about ‘no makeup’ in the summer. Multi-use makeup that I can apply with my finger is even better. Just swipe on your lips and cheeks for a healthy pink glow. It goes on easily and feels somewhere between a balm and a gloss on the lips. To apply, use your fingertip to dot a small amount onto your cheeks or lips and blend into skin.

Even if the stain starts a little strong, it’s easy enough to blend out to a sun-kissed flush that looks completely natural. I’m already obsessed! I like to bring it across my nose, too—a couple of tiny dabs make for the perfect, I just came from the beach look.
And that’s not even the best part—this stain is good enough to eat. Using beetroot powder for coloring is the perfect natural option for getting that flawless glow without resorting to using conventional products, some of which are irritating and not cruelty-free.
Most blushes rely on carmine for red pigment, which comes from crushed-up bugs. Ew! Plus, the combination of super-nourishing shea butter and castor oil makes for the perfect base.
DIY Lip + Cheek Stain Ingredients
Here’s a rundown of the 3 ingredients:
Castor oil
Castor oil is very hydrating (it works great on eyelashes) and has a nice, thick texture that makes this recipe feel smooth and glossy. It is known for preserving moisture, and its fatty acids leave the skin feeling nourished.
Shea butter
Shea butter is such a silky, creamy ingredient. It provides healing moisture and also gives the blush its staying power on the cheeks.
Beet powder
I had no idea you could get beet powder in pill form. The powder is a super bright hot pink, but don’t let that scare you! If you want to tone down the pink, you could add a tiny, tiny bit of turmeric or cocoa powder.
I’ve been more than a little afraid of venturing into make-your-own makeup territory, but this DIY might just have changed my mind! To keep this stain fresh for as long as possible, keep it in a cool, dark drawer or even better, the fridge. If you have a skincare mini-fridge, that would be perfect.
Because our ingredients are good enough to eat and we’re not relying on preservatives, it’s important to store our DIY products properly. If it begins to separate or smell a little funny, then you know it’s time to let go of this batch and whip up a new one, tout de suite!
