Ombre lips, along with ombre nails and hair, add a colorful and stunning touch to your look. If you’re intrigued by this eye-catching lip style and ready to try it yourself, just follow these four simple steps. It’s a unique, albeit slightly time-consuming, beauty trick, but with a little practice, you can master it!
What You’ll Need:
- One dark lipstick
- One lighter shade of lipstick within the same color range
- Clear lip gloss (optional, for added shine)
- A lip brush for blending (or you can use your finger)
- Any brand of lipstick or gloss will do, as long as they have strong pigments.
Steps to Achieve Ombre Lips:
- Apply the Dark Shade: Start by applying the darker lipstick around the outer edges of your lips, covering both the top and bottom completely.
- Add the Lighter Shade: Next, apply the lighter lipstick to the inner halves of your lips. This placement makes the inner parts of your lips appear lighter, creating a gradient or “ombre” effect.
- Blend: Using your index finger or a lip brush, gently blend or tap the area where the two lipstick colors meet. Be careful not to smudge the darker edges too much, as you want to keep a nice gradient.
- Finish with Gloss: For an extra pop, apply some clear lip gloss over your lips. This step enhances the ombre effect and adds a glossy finish, but you can definitely skip it if you prefer a matte look.
Feel free to experiment with different colors once you get the hang of the technique. Ombre lips are all about having fun with your makeup and creating a look that stands out!
