Ombre lip tutorial
Add a little va va voom to your look by ditching your go-to lippy and opting for a ombre lip. To create a ombre lip you need two contrasting lip colours to create a contrast effect that really stands out. So want lips your friends will be jealous of? Simply follow this easy ombre lip tutorial.
I used a combination of hot red and pink shades but you can use any contrasting colours to create an ombre finish.
1. Line your lips with a white lip liner to ensure you get a clean finish without any bleeding or feathering. (edit – I don’t have any white lip liners at the moment so I skipped this step). You can check out the white lip liners available on Amazon.
2. Use a bright red lip liner and fill in the rest of your lips so the red will be super vibrant. Try NYX Professional Makeup Suede lip liner in Spicy.
3. Apply a bright red lipstick over the liner with a lip brush so you get a precision finish. Try MAC Lustreglass Sheer Shine lipstick in Flustered.
4. Make sure your lippy stays put by applying a matte red lipstick in a similar shade to the lipstick you applied in step 3. Try NYX Matte lipstick in Alabama. (still available on Ebay).
5. Grab a pink lipstick and gently dab colour to the centre of your lips. Try Illamasqua lipstick in Climax.
In just a few steps your look is complete and you’re ready to show the world your new look.
