Rosalía's "Cherry Cola" Lip Combo Involves This Iconic Lip Tint

As a beauty editor, I love seeing celebrities experiment with different makeup looks and aesthetics rather than commit to just one. It's for that reason that I consistently check in on Rosalía's Instagram and TikTok. One minute, the singer-songwriter is wearing blue eyeliner with a slicked-back braid. The very next, she's wearing glossy lipstick with wet-look waves. She seems to take an experimental approach to beauty, and I, for one, love it.
With all that said, there's still a certain element of her beauty routine that she keeps coming back to, and that's her signature red-brown, glossy lip. To me, it's the perfect example of the "cherry cola" trend, in which a nude or brown liner is paired with a cherry-red lip color and topped with gloss. Lucky for me, Rosalía recently shared a tutorial on TikTok, so now I know the exact products she uses to create her take on the trend. Keep scrolling to see them all.
The first product she uses is this budget-friendly lip liner in Cold Brew, which is a true brown shade. After lining her lips and filling in the corners, she reaches for a fluffy brush to blend it out. This step is key as it results in a soft, diffused look.
Then it's time for the iconic lip tint. Benefit Cosmetics' Benetint to be exact. It was originally created in the '70s and has been a go-to for editors and makeup artists ever since. Rosalía applies it to just the center of her lips before blotting them together for a subtle wash of red.
The fourth and final step is a wash of lip gloss (or oil, in this case). After doing some research, it looks like she's using the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Oil in the shade, Pomegranate. Thanks to a formula rich in vitamin E and coconut oil, it's as moisturizing as it is glossy.
