In a stunning and unapologetically Nigerian statement, Cherrelle Dike, the visionary Founder & CEO of LipLok Cosmetics, celebrated Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day with a powerful fusion of art, culture, and entrepreneurship.
The beauty mogul posed draped in vibrant Ankara fabric while her upper body was hand-painted in the iconic green-white-green of the Nigerian flag by renowned body artist Pierre The Artist. Captured through the lens of Aaron Dudley, the images radiate strength, pride, and audacious self-belief — the same values that fuel her thriving lip-care empire.
Sharing her reflections on the milestone, Cherrelle wrote: “I’ve been Tested, Approved & Trusted on my LipLok journey — standing strong and unstoppable at the top. Nothing can hold me back — this is God’s plan. I’m proud and grateful to celebrate my Nigerian roots and rep the strength and spirit of Nigeria. Happy Independence Day — may our GREATNESS CONTINUE TO SHINE!”
It’s been a defining year for Cherrelle and LipLok. Just days ago, the brand was named one of 70 global semi-finalists (from over 10,000 entries) at Alibaba.com’s CoCreate Pitch 2025 in Las Vegas, where she boldly presented her innovation to the world.
Her Independence Day tribute is a message to young Nigerians: own your heritage, dare to dream global, and never dim your shine. For those looking to embody that same confidence, her LipLok collection remains a must-have — beauty rooted in identity, powered by resilience.
