If you want to go full-on spooky this Halloween, there’s no better way than creating a cool, Black Girl-approved poky lip combo like this one by @tianakori.
To recreate this, you start by applying the Kiss NYPro Black Lip Liner ($5) around the perimeter of your lips. Follow that with some Burt’s Bees Hibiscus Lip Balm ($12) goodness, and finish the entire look with the Lancôme Lipstick ($35).
If this doesn’t scream spooky, we don’t know what will!
Cherry Cola Lip Combo

The TikTok girlies have also been pairing red lips with some black liner to create the most gorgeous cherry cola lips. This look by @sashinspires involves using black eyeliner as a lip liner, some popping red lipstick, and clear lip gloss.
And since she didn’t disclose the products she used for it, we suggest going with the Tarte Maneater High-Definition Eyeliner ($16.50) as your base, Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte & Satin Velvet Lipstick in Royal Red ($23) for that popping red lip and the NYX Lip Lingerie Non-Sticky Clear Lip Gloss ($7.50).
Gold Lip Combo
This is the only way to rock some gold lip gloss, don’t you agree?
To recreate it, use the Mac Cosmetics Excess Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Glide or Die ($23). Follow that up with the Buxom Cosmetics Lip Liner in Creamy Chocolate ($21) (and remember to use the brush on the liner to soften your lip edges).
Top it off with the Fenty Beauty Lemon Lava Gloss ($26) for a glamorous, golden, and sophisticated Black Girl fall lip combo.
Glossy Toasted Brown

Joy Kendi made this video in response to the viral video where @levelblue dished her opinions about what ‘elegant ladies’ should do and wear.
Among the topics she discussed was applying ‘brown lipstick with gloss on top of it,’ which caused an uproar on TikTok and Instagram. @jackieaina gave her a piece of her mind, too.
@jackieaina @level_blue microaggressions are not very elegant or ladylike. #elegantlady #classystyle #highsociety #elegance #levelup #howtobealady ♬ original sound – Jackie Aina
For now, though, if you want to recreate this super-sexy, ‘non-elegant’ glossy toasted brown lip combo by Joy Kendi, all you need to do is use the Joanna Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lip in Free Spirit ($10.65) as your liner.
Throw on the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick in Chai Genius ($20) at the center of your lips, then blend it with your finger.
Top it off with the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Topaz ($7) for that toasted brown yummy-mummy look.

But thanks to @sullyg_ here, you can rest easy knowing you, too, can get on the lip combo train.
And the best part? This lip combo complements dark skin-toned babes effortlessly and keeps your puckers hydrated all day.
She used the Sephora Collection Gel Lip Liner in Molasses ($18) as her base and Makeup By Mario’s Ultra Suede Lipstick in Brielle ($36) for that sexy nude lip color.
She topped it off with Makeup By Mario’s Pro-Volume Lip Gloss in Golden Nude ($30) for some subtle sheen.
