The Ombre Lip

February 17, 2014

Step 1: Begin with primed lips. I used MAC Lip Erase.
Step 2: Choose the color scheme you want to go with. Use the darkest shade as your lip liner and apply to the cupids bow and the bottom of the lower lip.
Step 3: Finish lining the lips from the inside out.
Step 4: Blend in the inside edges a small amount using the lip liner pencil.
Step 5: Using a shade or two lighter than the lip liner, shade in the upper lip with a lipstick.
Step 6: Using the same lipstick, shade in the lower lip.
Step 7: Apply a clear gloss over the upper and lower lips to add shine.
Step 8: Apply a light shade lipstick of your color scheme and apply to just the center of the upper and lower lips.
Steps 9 & 10: Gently press your lips together to blend.
Step 11: Use your fingers to blend to your taste and voila!
