Whether you go for cherry cola lips or a 90s brown pout, this is how to nail TikTok's favourite lip combos...
From book recommendations to cooking inspo, TikTok® is a place filled with seemingly endless trends and tutorials (not to mention super cute puppy content). And now, thanks to the wonderful world that is #BeautyTok, there’s a whole host of new lip combos out there that we’re just dying for you to try out.
If you’re not quite up on the latest lip trend, all you need to know is that it’s not enough to just use one product anymore – it’s all about layering to create the perfect pout.
So, we’ve rounded up five of the best combos according to TikTok®, putting together a step-by-step guide on how to create these lip-smackingly cool looks.
1. 90s brown
From double denim and cargo pants to frosted tips and barely-there eyebrows, the 90s has a lot of fashion faux pas to answer for – though the iconic 90s brown lip is a trend we’re definitely embracing.
To nail this nostalgic look, reach for all things Huda Beauty. Start with the Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 in Warm Brown for a precise definition that lasts for hours. Then, create a nude base with the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer.
Finally, for the pièce de résistance, slick on the Faux Filler Gloss in Glassy for a full-looking, high-shine pout.
To nod to the 90s:
Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 – Warm Brown
• In 12 shades
• With soybean & liquorice
• Includes mini sharpener
Huda Beauty’s reinvented Lip Contour 2.0 glides on like butter, for a velvety matte definition that lasts all day long! Transfer, pool and waterproof, the Warm Brown shade is perfect for throwing it back to the 90s.
Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer
• Size: 9ml
• In 29 shades

This creamy concealer brightens, conceals and moves with your skin, leaving you with a radiant complexion. Use it to conceal dark circles and blemishes, and then slick it on your lips for that lovely nude base!
2. Baby pink
If you’re into minimal effort for maximum gain, you only need two steps to perfect the ever popular pretty-in-pink lip combo.
First, it’s another call up for Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0, this time in Muted Pink. Line those lips with the soft shade, and then finish off the look with a gorgeous gloss – we like Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fussy. It’s giving ultra cute with a pop of colour!
To perfect the pink:
Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer
• In 12 shades

• Includes mini sharpener
The only way to start off your baby pink pout, Huda Beauty’s Lip Contour 2.0 in Muted Pink effortlessly defines your lips for a high-pigment look. Plus, the retractable design makes it super easy to use – even on-the-go.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer – Fussy
• Size: 9ml
• Cruelty-free
• With shea butter
A gloss that feels as good as it looks, the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer from Fenty delivers explosive shine, while conditioning shea butter nourishes from within. Plus, the peach vanilla scent makes it (almost) good enough to eat!
3. Cherry cola
Looking for a lip look as sweet as you? Inspired by the soda and sported by the likes of Kylie Jenner, the cherry cola lip trend is all about combining those lovely browns and reds for a deliciously deep colour.
Start with a dark brown lip liner, we love Bobbi Brown Lip Pencil in Chocolate. Then reach for the red, No7 Precision Lips Pencil in Red works well here.
Finally, it’s time to swipe on the gloss. NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss in Chillin’ Like a Villain is a firm fave of ours for a super juicy finish.
NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss – Chillin’ Like a Villain
• In 8 shades
• With cloudberry oil, raspberry oil & squalene
Drench your lips in shine with this lip gloss from NYX Professional Makeup. With cloudberry oil, raspberry oil and squalane, your pout will be plumped, hydrated and oh-so gorgeous.
4. Peachy nude
For those who like to go a little subtler, the peachy nude trend is right up your street.
To start (you know the drill by now), make sure those lips are lined and defined – Maybelline’s Lifter Liner in Line Leader is great for this, plus it glides on like a dream.
Next up, give your pout a boost of hydration with a nourishing lip balm, we love Pixi’s +Hydra Lip Balm in Peach-y for a hint of effortless colour that instantly smooths and softens.
If you’re looking for a matte finish, go for a peachy nude lipstick like MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Honey Love. And for the glossy ones among us, we recommend Revolution Pout Bomb Plumping Gloss in Milky Sheer for big volume and even bigger impact.
5. Affordable
Want a new lip combo that looks great but won’t break the bank? We’ve got you (and your lips) covered.
Our fave affordable lip liner is Rimmel’s Lasting Finish 8Hr Lip Liner, which gives a definition that lasts all day long. There are plenty of shades to choose from, but we recommend Cappuccino for a lovely brown edge.
For a bargain pout packed with shine – and absolutely no stickiness in sight – it’s got to be NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lip Gloss. Coming in 34 silky smooth shades, pair a Bit of Honey with your brown liner to achieve that much-coveted latte-inspired look.
So, now you know exactly how to nail TikTok’s fave lip combos – how will you be perfecting your pout?
