Let’s begin the ombre lips tutorial:
Start by moisturizing your lip area with a good hydrating lip balm. If you have rough and flaky lips, I recommend applying a lip scrub prior to the use of a lip balm to smoothen and soften the lips. Then, apply a light concealer all over your lips to hide the darkness or any lip pigmentation that you may have. If you have fairly pink lips without any pigmentation then you can skip this step. Here, I used the Kryolan Derma Camouflage Concealer.
Then, take a vibrant and bright red lip pencil, preferably in matte formula to define your lips. Start by creating shorter stokes from the top most lip area and complete lining your lips. Here, I used the Faces Lip pencil in the True Red shade. Then, use the same lip pencil and fill the upper lip area completely.
Take a red lipstick and top it over the areas where the liner was applied earlier. Use a thin lip brush to blend the lip liner and the lipstick evenly for a neat finish. Here, I used the Inglot lipstick refill in the shade number 80. Then, use the same concealer, which was used in the first step and start filling only the centre lip area to brighten it.
Then use a tissue paper and blot your lips softly. This step will remove the harsh edges and excess lipstick from the lips.
Then apply a very bright orange lipstick over the centre of your lips. This lipstick should be applied directly over the concealer, applied in the previous step. Here, I used a bright coral-like orange lipstick from Inglot in the shade 19. Then, apply a transparent lip gloss to the centre of your lips to add volume and plump effect. Use a thin lip brush and blend the orange with the red lipstick slowly to remove any harsh edges.
Then, apply a soft champagne or highlighter eyeshadow to the lower centre of the lip. This step is optional and if you are not comfortable in adding more glossiness to the lips, then you can skip it. Applying a shimmery formula to the lips will give a soft highlighted look to the lips. Here, I used the Inglot lipstick eyeshadow refill in the shade 11.
And you are done! You can easily tweak the color of the lipsticks used in this makeup tutorial. If you use stronger contrasting lipstick colors, such as pink and purple, the ombre effect provided will be more intense and vibrant. Since, I wanted a wearable ombre look, I decided to go with slightly less contrasting lip colors.
Step out in style this party season with luscious ombre lips!
