What is Ombré lips?
Ombré lips is a new makeup trend that uses more than one lipstick color to create a gradient effect on the lips. And if that’s not enough, this technique is also great for giving the appearance of larger, fuller lips, in a natural way, increasing the dimension and volume of the mouth. No filling, it seems like a dream, doesn’t it?
In fact, this trend is inspired by Ombré hair, which is a gradient hair color, which keeps the roots darker and lightens along the strands. With Ombré lips, the aim is not to preserve the natural color of the mouth, but rather to mix other colors and create a modern and colorful effect. In fact, it may be the same colors or not, the difference is to innovate.
Types of Ombré lips
There’s the traditional Ombré lips, which is that basic one, which uses a darker color at the ends of the mouth, and a lighter tone in the center. This is the most popular among fans of the trend, especially because it creates an effect of light and shadow. However, it is a diverse trend with no rules, so there are other ways to do the gradient as we will see below:
Ombré vertical
This is for those who like to dare without fear. The vertical Ombré is very simple, it is one color on the upper lip and another on the lower lip. As a result, you will have super fun lips that stand out in any environment.
Ombré horizontal
The horizontal ombré is less daring, but no less incredible.. Just start with a dark tone in the corner of your mouth and lighten it towards the other end. In fact, if you prefer, you can also apply dark lipstick on both ends and a lighter, lighter lipstick in the center.
Three-tone ombré
The traditional one has two colors, but why not go further, right? Don’t be afraid to be bold and do a gradient with three shades and have incredible lips.
How to make?
So, now that you know what Ombré lips are and the types, it’s time to get down to business, how to do it. It may seem a little difficult to achieve this effect, but in practice it is much simpler.
- The first step is to hydrate your lips well, to make it easier to apply lipsticks. So, use your favorite lip moisturizer, but remove the excess.
- Next, the secret is to make your lips the same color as your skin. To do this, apply a little foundation or concealer to your mouth, to achieve a neutral tone before applying the colors.
- Now the application of Ombré lips begins. Using a brush or lip liner in a darker color, outline the corners of your lips. In fact, if you want to give an effect with more volume, go beyond the ends.
- So now is the time. Start by applying the darker shade of lipstick on the outside, towards the edges and then complete with the lighter lipstick towards the center of the mouth.
- Press your lips together to blend the colors well and tap lightly with your fingers to create a gradient effect.
- Last but optional, apply a gloss of your choice to add extra shine and you’re ready.
In fact, this technique works with light and dark tones, just choose where the gradient will start, from the outside or inside. This style looks beautiful with various lipsticks, but red, brown and wine have an extra charm.
