Glossier is stepping into the new year with a darker spin on the fruit-inspired trend. This week, the brand launches its “Black Cherry” makeup lineup—part sweet homage, part edgy upgrade—all while riding the momentum of its recent foray into Sephora stores. Each piece takes cues from the fruit’s transition from bloom to harvest, and it’s exactly the kind of moody play on color that feels very now.
At the heart of this release are four focal products. There’s Balm Dotcom, enriched with castor seed oil, antioxidants, and beeswax for a plush finish—this fan-favorite is sticking around permanently. Cloud Paint, the brand’s creamy blush, has a new shade designed to emulate that deep flush as cherries ripen. Completing the set are two precise tools: No. 1 Pencil and Lip Line, both in burgundy. They’re here to deliver definition reminiscent of a full-bodied glass of wine.
Nearly everything in “Black Cherry” is limited—once it’s gone, it’s gone—except for Balm Dotcom. Prices range from $18 to $22, with the full collection available now on Glossier’s site. For those who prefer to see it up close before buying, the same lineup arrives at Sephora on January 13, marking another step in Glossier’s shift from its original direct-to-consumer roots into a wider beauty arena.
