This look has been a trend for the past 2 years. You can go very dramatic, or wearable, whatever is the case you can simply do this look with any lipstick. It doesn't have to be expensive makeup. Let's have some fun
Here are some quick steps:
- Always prep your lips before, make sure to moisturize your lips by applying lip-balm. This will help you get rid off any dryness/crack lips. Give it few minutes to your lips to absorb the moisture. I like to apply my lip-balm right after my face moisturize, and the continue with my foundation. I am giving some time for my lips to get all the moisture needed before I proceed to the next step.
- Since we are trying to get the ombre effect, I personally like to apply my foundation or whatever is left in my brush. My lips are pigmented, this steps helps me to have a nice application, more like an even canvas.
- This is the fun part, grab any color lipstick and outline the lips working your way in. I opted for Milani "Matte Glam". You can either use the lipstick directly to your lips, but I applied with a lipstick brush to be more precise. Once you start getting to the center of your lips, apply it with less pressure and blending motion.
- Now pick a different shade of lipstick, you can pick 2 or 3 shades lighter than first color, or even a different color. Again, you can use a lipstick brush or the lipstick directly to the your lips, but remember we are going to blend the lines between those to colors. Another alternative you can use to blend will be your fingers, just make sure they are clean :) Apply the color in the center of your lips, and start blending it with the first color. This would be the part where you can find your own taste of how vibrant or ombre you want your lips.
- Once you are satisfied with your lips, grab a concealer brush with a concealer or foundation of preference and go around the outline of your lips to clean up the edges.
