How To Do The Cherry Red Beauty Trend
GLOSSIER
Cheeks
If you’d typically reach for a pink or mauve blush, this is your sign to try a cherry red instead. Cream formulas are a no-brainer for that natural flushed look with aa bit of glow and we rate the ones from REFY that can be used on the cheeks, lips or lids. Alternatively, go for a mineral-based powder blush to softly build the colour up to suit your complexion. Just remember to add back a little radiance with a finishing spray to avoid everything looking too flat.
Nails
Red nails are a classic at this time of year, but deep cherry tones feel a little more on trend for 2023. Opt for pinkier tones if your skin has cooler undertones, while brown-based reds are flattering on a range of skin tones. Always finish with a topcoat for that elevated, glossy finish. Finally, fans of nail art should try a cherry red French tip for something more directional.
MANUCURIST
Lips
Arguably the simplest way to wear the trend, a deep cherry gloss or lipstick is both cool and festive. For daytime, Glossier’s Ultralip is more like a tinted balm which you can use to deepen your own lip’s natural pigment. But if you want to amp things up, opt for a liner and liquid lipstick instead. For more of a ‘cherry cola’ finish, use a brown liner followed by a cherry red gloss over the top.
Eyes
A smokey eye look is a great way to weave this trend into your party make-up look. Sweep a reddish eyeshadow across your lids and blend it out for something subtle, or go in with a flat, damp brush to deposit more product and pigment. Alternatively, TikTok proves a red liner is a fun choice for a cool pop of colour. For a more diffused look, blend it out along the lash line using a brown shadow.
SHISEIDO
Hair
Kendall Jenner is an obvious reference here, but the cherry red and auburn hair trend has quickly gained traction this season. While some might like the idea of investing in fresh hair colour, at-home glosses make it simpler to get the look at home. The finish will be subtler if you have dark hair – and punchier if you’re a natural blonde – but a tint is the best way to dip your toe in without the commitment. It should only take a couple of washes to remove or tone down the colour but to get ride of it quicker, use a detox shampoo – just don’t forget to keep your strands hydrated with a good conditioner.
