7. Sheer Cherry Red

If a bold, opaque red lipstick feels too intimidating for everyday wear, a sheer cherry red is the perfect compromise. This shade offers the vibrant, playful energy of red but in a translucent, watercolor-like finish. It gives your lips a healthy, youthful flush of color, similar to the stain left behind after eating a cherry popsicle. It is casual, effortless, and instantly brightens up a tired complexion.
Sheer cherry red is best worn in the form of a tinted lip oil, a lip stain, or a moisturizing balm. Because of its sheer nature, you do not need to worry about precise application or lip liners. Just swipe it on and go. It pairs beautifully with fresh, dewy skin, a touch of cream blush, and brushed-up eyebrows for a clean, French-girl beauty aesthetic.
