Tutorial: Purple Ombre Lips

Hello, everyone!

In some parts of the world, it's summer already. But heavy rains with scary thunders still haunt some regions in Indonesia. The skies still look dark and gloomy. So I think it's still okay for me to give you a tutorial which is best for autumn. I used to wear this style to hangout in the night life. So, check it out.

1. Moisturize your lips.
2. Dab your foundation with sponge. (I dabbed my BB cream and top it with a white creamy eye primer)
3. Frame your lips with black pencil (lipliner or eyeliner).
4. Color your outter lips with black pencil.
5. Fill your inner lips part with dark purple lipstick.
6. Top it with white creamy eyeshadow.
7. Pout your lips to blend the color. Reshape your lips by drawing a little more out of your natural lip line to create a more plumpy look.

Result:

Some useful tips:

• If your don't have a white creamy eyeshadow, simply replace it with a pale pink lipstick.
• Dark purple lipstick can be replaced with a dark purple eyeshadow.
• Bold color lipsticks works best with healthy lips and white teeth. So make sure your lips are in their best condition and don't forget to whiten your lips first. Otherwise you have to be extra confident wearing it ^_^

Tutorial: Ombre Lips

I've heard about this Ombre Lips style these days here and there. Just what exactly an Ombre Lips anyway? Well, Ombré is French for a gradual colour change from light to dark or vice versa, almost like a dip-dye effect. Or, you may call it a gradient style.

The creations themselves are vary. I would like to show you two of them. But before we begin, you have to follow these simple steps:

1. Moisturize your lips.
2. Whiten your lips. Here I use a BB cream (or you may use foundation or lip primer), but since it won't give you a white effect, I pat them again with an eye primer. Here I use a matte white NYX eye primer because the texture is creamy. Use a sponge instead of your fingers for smooth result.

Then let's start!

Rainbow Ombre Lips

I wanted to submit this for the previous April 2014 IBB Makeup Challenge but I didn't have much time, so I just show this here. You have to provide a varios color of eyeshadow to begin with and just play with the palette!

1. Base your lips.
2. Apply shocking pink eyeshadow.
3. Blend with a bright orange.
4. Blend again a sunshine yellow.
5. Last, put a little bright green there.
6. Cover it with clear lipgloss and pout to blend the color!

And, you're done!

Pink & White Ombre Lips

This one's just as simple as the above style.

1. Base your lips.
2. Frame your lips with mauve or dark pink lipstick/lipliner.
3. Fill the center part with white creamy shadow.
4. Blend by pouting your lips. This is the hardest part, somehow the white color became more dominant.
5. Apply clear lip gloss.
6. Carefully, dab glitter dust on them and you're done! Too bad my camera can't capture the glitter, but trust me, it was very sparkly. LOL

Tips: you can do the step 2 and 3 the other way around, whichever you think easier.

Since you can't see the sparkle effect, I just add my own with my camera app. :)

So those are ombre lips in my version. Yeah, I know they're not very wearable for everyday look, but you can adjust the color to your likings.

Maybe I will create some more ombre lips tutorial in the future.

Until then!
