Ombre on the lips: 7 simple video instructions
Text: Margarita Virova
Lips emphasis - The fastest way to create a holiday on your face. But if all possible colors have already been tried and are included in the usual arsenal, then the best way to diversity lies through the development of unfamiliar techniques. New ideas emerge regularly: last year we were offered to abandon the clearly defined contour, and today, with the light hand of Pat McGrath, the whole world is going crazy over lips full of glitter. We have already written about one of the most variable trends of the year - lip makeup using an ombre technique, and now we are showing seven video tutorials that will help you learn how to create a beautiful gradient on your lips.
In the style of vamp
A blogger from Denmark, Laura Lee, at the end of the video tutorial demonstrates the classic vamp version. It's simple: a shade of wine is applied over your favorite red lipstick and stewed from the corners of your lips: in order to lay the gradient evenly, your lips should be closed several times in the process. The makeup artist does not draw the contour, but contours the lips with a concealer and uses matting powder to remove the glossy shine of the lipstick.
Fast and easy
Mikey, the creator of the channel Glam & Gore, in her tutorial shows the fastest and easiest ways to achieve the effect of ombre - her advice is suitable for beginners and those who overslept again. You will not need brushes and sponges: all you need is lipstick of any color and texture and white cream pigment for any purpose. And, of course, a finger. The pigment is simply applied in the center of the lips and quickly bleached: try to leave the contour intact in order to achieve a transition of shades, and not just lighten the color.
Korean fashion
Perhaps the most versatile makeup collection. Chloe Morello was inspired by the Korean version of the trend: for the effect of young, plump lips, they invented cold pink tones and bleaching the contour in the center. Chloe covers the lips with a concealer, puts lipstick on top and finishes with a transparent gloss - but you can use gloss, lipstick or tint. The main thing - the effect of striving for naturalness, although the makeup artist turned makeup, not at all pretending that he is not here.
Relaxed and careless
Nicole Thompson shows on his model a relaxed and grunge gradient: bright lipstick is applied with a brush and fingers, and a darker shade is drawn with a pencil on the top and bottom along the lips contour - note that it is applied to the central parts of the lips, and not hidden in the corners. Make-up, according to Thompson and minute video. Still, there is no noticeable contrast between the selected colors, so the imperfections of the feathering and the obvious boundaries will be, perhaps, only at hand.
Drag-up make-up classic
Charming drag queen Nova Gines explains to beginners how to make canonical makeup for a scene in blue. The contour of the painted lips is far beyond the natural, but the width of the mouth remains the same - so the result is quite moderate. White pigment was noted here. You can learn, but you can consider the video as an excursion into the history of the trend.
Dark gradient kat von di
Kat von Dee recorded several lessons for the Ombre technique for Sephora, here she is paired with Singapore star beauty star Pearypie. The lesson is remarkable in that we see how the makeup is tried on by two women with different and quite ordinary lips instead of puffy instagram bends. Nothing extreme is just a good way to refresh your favorite dark color.
Color Ombre
Guidance on the use of bright colors Laura Arellano, representative of Melt Cosmetics. Blitzed beautiful blue-green color blends with Jeffree Star liquid matte lipstick; due to the fact that both means freeze for quite a long time, you can slowly mix and shade until you achieve a perfect gradient.
