OMBRE LIPS TUTORIAL: HOW TO GET GRADIENT LIPS

The ombre lip is the trend that will enhance your lips and give you a fashionable, on-trend look. This lip makeup technique creates a beautiful gradient of colours, adding dimension and character to your makeup. Play with the shape of your lips without limits!

To achieve this, choose two lipstick colours that blend perfectly, or a lipstick and its matching lip liner. A darker shade can be used to outline your lips, while a lighter shade is applied to the centre to create a volumising effect. The secret to a successful ombre lip is to blend the shades, creating a smooth and natural transition. Feel free to play with the shape of your lips: apply more colour to the centre for a fuller look, or correct any slight asymmetries by adjusting the outline to recreate balance.

Whether you're looking for a natural, subtle look or a bold effect, this gradient lips technique lets you have fun without limits.

Get ready to make your lips look irresistible! Lip lining is a crucial step in enhancing your makeup. In addition to defining and sculpting your lips, it's also a well-kept secret for making your favourite lipstick last longer. Master the art of lip lining with these pro tips:

To start, choose a lip liner colour. For ombre lips, choose a colour a few shades darker or completely contrasting for that coveted gradient effect. For long-lasting wear and a comfortable finish, use our ultra-pigmented Line Loud Lip Liner, available in 18 vibrant colours. Its creamy formula allows for precise application and easy blending.

Make sure it's sharp for optimal precision. You can use our dual-ended lip liner sharpener for this. Follow the natural shape of your lips by gently tracing the outline. If you want to create the illusion of fuller lips, go slightly beyond your natural lip line.

Once the outline is drawn, use a lip brush to blend the colour inwards. Pointed and made of synthetic fibres, our lip brush is the expert touch that provides the impeccable precision you expect. This step will allow you to create a soft and natural transition between the outline and the centre of your lips.

Wondering what colour to choose for a stunning ombre lip? First of all, there are no strict rules when it comes to gradient lip colours. However, some combos are particularly trendy and flattering.

For a subtle and natural look, opt for shades that blend harmoniously. For example, you can choose soft pink or peach shades, blending a lighter tone in the centre and a slightly darker shade on the outlines.

If you're looking for a bold and captivating look, dare to contrast! Play with combinations of bright and intense colours. You can go for a daring black and red ombre lip, or opt for a brown ombre lip combo, or why not, a fuchsia with a purple. The idea is to create a vibrant gradient that thinks outside the box.

Remember that the ombre lip is a perfect opportunity to express your unique style and creativity. You can also play with different finishes, like matte, gloss, or metallic, to add a touch of sparkle to your look.

If you're still unsure about colour, choose pale pink or coral shades for lighter complexions and deeper reds or plum shades for darker complexions.

To achieve long-lasting hold and keep your lips looking sublime from morning to night, follow these tips:

First, prepare your lips by lightly exfoliating them to remove dead skin. This will allow for smoother application and better lipstick adhesion. You can use our gentle scrub specially designed for lips, or simply rub gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Apply a thin layer of lip balm on top to nourish and hydrate.

For long-lasting hold, opt for lipsticks with a matte formula, such as our Lip Lingerie XXL matte lipstick, or glossy ones like our iconic FAT Oil lip oil. These formulas are designed to resist transfer and smudging, ensuring you have impeccable ombré lips all day long.

If you opt for a matte finish, apply a thin layer of translucent loose powder on your lips to seal in the colour. As a final touch, set and prolong the hold of your ombre lips and your flawless complexion with our Makeup Fixing Spray – Mattifying.

Because gradient lips can be done in a multitude of ways, we offer several versions for you to experiment with:

• Nude Ombre Lip: For a subtle, everyday look, opt for lipstick shades that blend smoothly. Choose colours close to your natural lip shade, creating a delicate gradient. This variation gives the impression of slightly fuller lips and is ideal for fresh, natural makeup.
• Bold Ombre Lip: Play with contrasts of bright, vibrant colours! Pair complementary shades or experiment with unexpected combinations. For example, you can go for ombre red and black lips or black gradient lips with pink or purple lip oil shades.
• Metallic Ombre Lip: For a glamorous and modern look, opt for metallic lipsticks. Choose metallic shades in copper, gold, bronze, or silver to create a luminous and shiny effect. You can mix them to achieve a unique metallic ombre lip that will add a touch of sophistication to your makeup.
• Glossy Ombre Lip: A shiny version of the ombre lip using lipsticks or lip oils with a glossy finish. This variation creates a luminous effect and gives a wet look to your lips.

Whether you prefer a natural, bold, metallic, or glossy look, the ombre lip trend is not to be missed.
