How to Recreate Madelyn Cline's Vampy Lip Combo: Her Glazed Black Cherry Lip Routine

When it comes to a bold lip, Madelyn Cline knows how to strike the perfect balance between dramatic and wearable. The longtime Revlon ambassador recently shared the exact routine behind her signature vampy pout—a rich Black Cherry lip with softly sculpted edges, a lighter center, and a glossy, glazed finish that adds incredible dimension.

Instead of layering every product evenly, Madelyn focuses on creating contrast between the outer edges and the center of her lips, resulting in a fuller, more naturally contoured look.

Here’s how to recreate it.

Step 1: Sculpt the Lips

Madelyn begins by defining her lips with Revlon ColorStay Multi Liner in Mischief Maker.

Rather than tracing the lips evenly, she concentrates the liner around the outer corners and lightly overlines her natural lip shape. This creates soft shadow and depth, giving the illusion of fuller, more sculpted lips without looking overdrawn.

“I’ve been focusing on the outer corners of my lips and also overlining.” — Madelyn Cline

Step 2: Apply Lipstick in Black Cherry

Next, she layers Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry over the liner.

Instead of covering the entire lip, she keeps most of the color concentrated around the outer portion of the lips while intentionally leaving the center as light as possible.

This placement creates a naturally dimensional effect, allowing the deeper berry tones to contour the lips while preventing the overall look from appearing too heavy.

Step 3: Add a Glazed Finish with Gloss

To complete the look, Madelyn applies a clear gloss over the center of her lips.

Rather than fully blending everything together, she lets the gloss softly melt into the lipstick while preserving the contrast between the darker edges and lighter center.

“I wanted the gloss to kind of blend the lipstick, but not too much to keep the dimension.” — Madelyn Cline

The glossy finish catches the light beautifully, creating what she describes as a perfectly glazed lip.

Why This Lip Combo Works

Madelyn’s technique is all about strategic placement instead of simply layering products.

By concentrating the liner and lipstick around the perimeter, keeping the center lighter, and finishing with a high-shine gloss, she creates the illusion of naturally fuller lips with soft, multidimensional depth.

The result is a sophisticated vampy lip that feels modern, polished, and surprisingly wearable.
