How to... Ombré Lip

Dearest Fellow Blogees,

This weekend we thought we'd do something a little different, and kick the Saturday off in style with  a tutorial post. At the moment, Ombre is a big big deal. Whether it's for hair, nails or lips, this new trend has smashed onto the scene, and we think it's here to stay. So we thought we'd show you to to be bang on trend with a super trendy,ombre lip. The celebs are all over this look, from Blake Lively to Jessica Alba sporting eye popping lips to make your mouth water. To gain inspiration, see how we did it:


Firstly you need to outline your lips with the darkest shade of whatever colour you want to ombre with. We used a black soft kohl pencil, but any lip or eye pencil will suffice. Follow the line all the way around the lips, creating an even and smooth line as you go.

Next we applied the red lipstick (if you're trying to replicate this exact look, we used Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 022) to the main part of the lips. After that take a small lip brush and blend thoroughly the lip stick and pencil, until you begin to see the gradual blend.

And so there you have it! Easy to follow and cheap to do,what more could you want? Also a good, dramatic look for Halloween, if you're going for that kinda vibe. Mix it up with other colours and see what cool effects you can create.

Until next time,

LLB x
