Do you want to be beautiful? Follow fashion trends and learn to introduce them into everyday life smoothly and harmoniously. Not every trend is suitable for everyone, without exception, but sometimes you need to move away from the usual and go into uncharted spheres. An unusual ombre technique intrigues and interests girls. Lip makeup is now not so simple, and makeup in this technique looks original and attractive. But application requires practice if you do not want to get a slurred mishmash of paint on your lips. So where to start?
The Importance of Makeup
Even if the lady is late for the meeting and does not have time to have breakfast, she will take a few minutes to ennoble her own face. For the morning make-up, a couple of minutes will be enough: to powder a nose, to bring your eyes up, to tint your lips. A woman with makeup feels confident, boldly looks into the eyes of passers-by, the boss and colleagues.
But why, in this case, the lips of women do not always resemble television commercials? This is due to the routine of the process and the inability to properly use the means at hand. It does not matter the price of cosmetics. You can make a luxury make with budgetary funds. It is important to choose the color and texture, as well as to master some basic techniques for applying make-up.
Our lips will not look perfect if they are groomed or chapped. With the passage of time, you can notice that poor quality lipstick dries lips, causes allergies and irritation. Before applying cosmetics, you can make a mask or pilling to remove dead cells, so that the sponges are smooth and clean.
Makeup in a new technique
There is usually not enough time for everyday make-up, and it will not work to show imagination here. But for the evening out, you can make "ombre" makeup. This technique does not imply the use of special cosmetics, and no one has canceled lip care , so use dry lipstick with a greasy texture for dry lips. Use dry, persistent lipstick less often, as it affects the skin badly. For more softness, apply balm and foundation, and only then - lipstick.
If you take the ombre technique as a basis, the lips will be made up with a smooth transition of colors. Otherwise, this makeup is called a gradient. Usually use two colors in one palette, but the number is not limited. The only condition for a good make-up is the harmony of the result and the creation of a beautiful lip shape. If the girl managed to emphasize beauty and play with color, then she achieved the maximum.
What do you need?
So how to make up lips? Ombre is not an easy technique, but you can do it, the main thing is to follow some recommendations. First of all, it is important to take care of the availability of the necessary tools. This is a gentle scrub, cotton buds and napkins, two or more lipsticks of similar shades, lip gloss. For a perfect contour, a pencil is also useful, whose color should be either slightly darker or slightly lighter than lipstick. You need to start drawing the outline from the highest point of the lips towards the corners. You do not need to achieve ideal sharpness, since in conclusion it will still have to be shaded, otherwise the makeup will not look natural. Making a contour, you can slightly correct those flaws that you do not like in your own appearance. For example, you can visually raise the edges of the lips, if you do not bring the contour to the corners of the mouth, but draw a line above.
The use of light lipstick and dark in a duet gives a visual plus in volume. The same effect is achieved when using a cosmetic product with shine. Makeup lasting can be extended if the first layer of lipstick is wet with a napkin, and then a second one is applied.
The process itself
Ombre on the lips is a palette game that is at the peak of popularity today. For smooth colors, the differences between lipsticks should be minimal. It is better to choose shades that combine with each other. For example, orange and yellow or red and orange.
Let's start with the preparation of the lips with a scrub. By the way, at home it is much more pleasant and effective to clean the skin with regular sugar or honey. And tasty, and quality. You can make an energetic massage with a toothbrush, and apply a thin layer of moisturizer to very dry sponges.
We trace the lip contour with a pencil and go through the top with dark lipstick. The middle of the lips is left unpainted. This is the main highlight of the ombre on the lips.
We apply a light lipstick on the cleaned area and by shading we achieve a smooth transition between tones. Remove excess with a napkin. At the finish, we cover our lips with a liquid gloss with the effect of radiance.
Where did the trend come from?
Who owes the world the advent of ombre technology? After all, lips did not always strive to paint in a special way! Fashion came to us from Korea, where such a technique is considered very seductive. True, Koreans paint with persistent color only the middle and inner surface of the lips, while the outer ones are only tinted with concealer to give the so-called kissing effect, or slightly bitten lips. Now they apply ombre a little differently. The lips are more dramatic and attracting attention due to the bright accent in the center and the dark outline on the outside.
