It seems like year after year, social media throws a new fruit-inspired makeup trend at us to fall in love with. After the viral strawberry-glazed and tomato girl aesthetics, the latest addition to the list is ‘cherry girl makeup’. This trend is all about embracing a fresh, youthful look with cherry-hued accents—think glossy, glistening skin and cherry-coloured pops on the eyes, cheeks and lips.
Spotted on runways and celebrity pages alike, cherry is undoubtedly the colour to watch out for in 2025. This vibrant yet wearable shade can be used to create warm, polished as well as statement-making looks, depending on what you want to go for. Ahead, we round up all the makeup picks you need to recreate the trend.
The easiest way to incorporate cherry in your makeup is through a lightly tinted lip oil. This ultra-moisturising one gives a soft, glossy finish while delivering a subtle cherry tint. The formula contains plant oils that hydrate and protect the lips, ensuring that they stay comfortable the entire day. Its glossy texture adds a shine without feeling sticky, making it ideal for achieving an effortlessly juicy cherry girl look.
This multitasking pick adds a fresh, just-pinched flush to both the lips and cheeks. Its rich colour blends into your skin for a natural, flushed look. Lightweight and long-lasting, it provides a dewy finish and doesn’t feel greasy. Plus, its compact size makes it easy to throw it in your bag for a touch-up anytime.
If you want to go beyond the basics and try a more playful take on the trend, a sultry, deep cherry eyeliner is what will do the trick. This rich burgundy shade is not your typical black liner and will make your lids pop. With its matte finish and 12-hour wear, the kajal pencil glides on smoothly and stays put throughout the day.
Burgundy mascaras are trending on social media, thanks to their ability to add an instant flush to your look. A cult-favourite, this Black Honey shade offers a warm hue that enhances your eyes with a soft, non-intense finish. The mascara has a unique formula that delivers volume, length and lift, giving your lashes a lush look that pairs perfectly with the cherry-themed tones of the rest of your makeup.
A bold, highly pigmented cherry lipstick is a classic that never goes out of style. If you're looking for a creamy, hydrating formula that still offers a matte finish and long-lasting colour, this is just the right pick for you. Infused with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and cocoa butter, it promises to nourish your lips and locks in moisture to keep them soft, supple and plump for up to 14 hours. Plus, the creamy formula glides effortlessly to deliver precise colour that is smudge-proof and transfer-proof, minimising the need for touch ups. Pair this with a glowy makeup base and a light wash of a cherry blush for a clean, monochromatic cherry look.
This liquid lipstick glides and blends seamlessly to deliver a rich burst of colour to your lips; and can be used on the cheeks and lids as well. Besides, the hydrating and weightless formula offers a velvety texture and a soft-blur effect. Packed with skin-loving ingredients like rosehip seed oil and lemon myrtle, it also proves to be extra nourishing. The colour is intensely pigmented yet buildable, so you can play it up or down depending on your mood or the occasion.
