HOW TO DO OMBRE LIPS

Here’s how to achieve the perfect ombre lip—a modern twist on this classic lip look that’s ideal for the holidays.

Start by selecting two shades: one lighter and one darker. The contrast creates a stunning optical illusion, making your lips look fuller and more defined. Apply the darker shade on the outer corners and blend the lighter shade towards the center. This subtle gradient not only adds dimension but also tones down the boldness with a touch of reddish-brown, making the look versatile and wearable for any occasion.

  1. HOW TO DO OMBRE LIPS STEP 1: START WITH DARK SHADE

    Outline your lips with a darker shade liquid lipstick. Fill in the outer corners of lips with it as well, leaving the inner of your lips bare.

  2. HOW TO DO OMBRE LIPS STEP 2: LAYER ON A BRIGHTER SHADE LIPSTICK

    Fill in the center of lips, taking care not to overlap the darker-toned shade at the outer edges of the lip. Then, gently diffuse the two shades together so there’s no noticeable “seam” where one shade starts and the other stops. Create this look with our long-wearing Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick for a lip look that won’t budge for up to 16 hours. Your dazzling ombre lip will stay picture perfect all night—no touch ups required!
