The Perfect OMBRE Lip!

The Ombre phenomenon is still going strong, from hair to clothes, and lips are no exception.

Follow these easy steps to a perfect ombre lip. Steps: 
1. Line your lips with a dark lip liner.
2. Place your lighter (complimentary) color lipstick in the middle of top and bottom lips.
3. Press your lips together to spread color evenly, and fill in surrounding light color with darker lipstick or the liner you used.
4. Press lips together again and you are done. 

For added shine dab a touch of clear lipgloss in the middle of your lips and pat them together.

(Tip: Prime your lips first and dab a bit of concealer over them for more pigmented color.) 

For RED lips:


Follow the same steps as above, but instead of a contrasting color, you will use a red lip liner to fill in your whole lip, and then a red lipstick on top of it. If you want a precise pucker, then use your concealer to trace around your lips as seen in bottom left picture. Blend well and you're all set to go.
