Black cherry trend was all the craze in 2024, and it seems we are not leaving the trend behind in 2025 either. The trend centres around deep plum and burgundy tones, almost vampy make-up and nail colours, to counter the former clean girl aesthetic that was its predecessor.
Clinique, arguably, kickstarted the trend when it launched the viral Black Honey Almost Lipstick, which sold out on numerous occasions, and has since expanded into other variations of lip products because of its success. Rhode launched a deep plum hue, while Glossier, Dior and HUDA beauty have also followed suit, while it is also seeping into home scents too thanks to Yankee Candle.
Elemis has recently launched a Black Cherry Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm, which has since sold out – though it’s unsurprising considering the popularity of the brand’s Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. Whether you are opting for a deep rouge on your cheeks, red cherry lips, a plum mani pedi, we have found the best beauty buys to help you nail the trend.
Elemis’ iconic Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a popular skincare must-have to remove stubborn make-up, and the black cherry variation is no different. The cleanser is a solid form but melts into the skin and softens into a lightweight molten oil to remove make-up, dirt and grime effortlessly, while also hydrating the skin. The new iteration has been infused with a sweet black cherry scent. Though currently out of stock, this is one to keep an eye on for when it returns.
This warm, sultry fragrance celebrates the alluring scent of sweet black cherry. Kayali’s Lovefest Burning Cherry combines rich cherry notes with a smoky, sweet vanilla blend, to create a fragrance that is bold and sensual. Perfect for those who love deep, and long-lasting fragrances.
