Red, confidence, and seduction are what have made cherry lips a staple in fall. The cherry lip trend has been a constant within fall makeup looks. It consists of a vibrant red or beret-colored lipstick to create a just bitten into a cherry color. This trend is about making a statement with the bold colored lips, making this a symbol of confidence. There’s a lot of trial and error in finding your own combination for the perfect vampy, cherry lips. Here are some affordable products to help you find the perfect lip!

lip balms 

Nivea Berry: I recently purchased this lip balm while trying to find the perfect berry, cherry lip and can say with full confidence this is a solid choice. It adds a perfect berry hue to the lips that makes it perfect for an everyday look and moisturizes the lips too. 

Burt Bees Red Dahlia: This by far has to be my favorite lip balm in general. The color, consistency, and the shine from the moisturization are perfect. The color leans more purple-red than a true red but complements very well. Perfect for on-the-go and a staple in every bag. Amazing color and moisturizing. 

Lip oil 

NYX Fat Oil: Which is chic, is a more berry lip but paired with a red lip liner creates this amazing combination of a red, berry look. This product is sheer but buildable. There’s a great payoff and it moisturizes the lips too. We can not forget about the shine it has. It’s not sticky and is an amazing option for on-the-go. 

A new product just to hit the market is Elf Reviver Lip Oil. The colors “jam session” and “red envy”, “jam session” is a berry color, whereas “red envy” is more on the red side of the color spectrum. They provide a shine and hydrating lip product. 

Lip gloss 

Fenty Gloss Bomb: In the shade “Riri,” is the most beautiful pinky-red gloss. It has flakes of glitter and is a buildable gloss. This is perfect on the go and should be a staple in everyone’s routine for the perfect cherry lip. 

Elf’s glossy lip stain: Is a new personal favorite, the shade “spicy sienna,” a perfect red nude. It’s a buildable product that can go from a breath of color to a bold glossy red look. It’s manageable and perfect for on-the-go. This Elf product is a must. 

Lipsticks

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick: “Rum Raisin” and “Rum Rage” are an amazing addition to achieving the cherry lip combination. “Rum Raisin” is a perfect option for those looking for a muted and subtle cherry lip. “Rum Rage” is a bold vibrant red that pairs well with a brownish lip pencil achieving an amazing cherry lip.

Enjoy these affordable products for the perfect cherry lips!
