The end of 2016 pleases us with an abundance of trends and new products. And this is very useful, because ahead New Year- I want to look special this night!

Today we will talk about a makeup trend that came to us from Korea - gradient lip makeup or lips with an ombre effect.

For Korean women, I paint only the inner surface of my lips with permanent tints, and slightly tint the outer surface with concealer. The result is the effect of “kissed” or slightly bitten lips.

The essence of this makeup is simple: concentrated bright color lipstick in the center of the lips, which fades into a lighter shade towards the edges. Now let's try to make it.

The master class uses pink shades of lipstick, but you can use those that you like and suit you.

What you need for gradient makeup:

light pink lipstick
transparent powder (can be replaced with a napkin)
hot pink lipstick
dark pink pencil, lipstick or tint

How to make a gradient on the lips:

Apply light pink lipstick to pre-moistened lips (preferably matte).

Apply a layer of translucent powder to your lips or simply blot them with a dry cloth.

TO THE POINT:

Apply bright pink lipstick to the center of your lips.

TO THE POINT:

Using your finger or a lip brush, blend the edges of the hot pink lipstick to create a smooth transition of colors.

To ensure that the brightest shade is concentrated in the center of your lips, apply a dark pink pencil, lipstick or tint to the very center of your lips (tint will look best, as it is more long-lasting).

Blend the edges a little to get that ombre effect.

Ombre is a technique of coloring lips with a transition of colors from brighter to lighter. Developed in Korea, but since the conquest of the rest of the world it has undergone a number of changes. Koreans paint the central part richly, and shade the edges, creating a smeared or kissed effect. In America, Russia and European countries, it is customary to draw ombre on the lips differently, which makes the face attractive, dramatic, creating a rich accent in the lower part of the face.

Smooth transitions in makeup have become a popular trend for fashion designers and makeup artists. The play of colors looks unusual and stylish, allowing you to correct appearance lips:

change in shape;
increase in volume;
reduction in volume.

Ombre can be used in everyday and formal makeup for correct selection colors. If you play with natural shades and make minimally noticeable borders, you can create a delightful daytime makeup look. In the evening, you can choose rich, bright or dark shades.

In the classic version, the gradient is created from two tones, but you can include more colors.

Ways to create makeup

Makeup artists have developed two techniques for the ombre style. They suggest applying lipsticks in a vertical and horizontal gradient.

Vertical technique. Features and principles:

a light line between two dark ones will help add volume and sexy plumpness to your lips;
to reduce the shape, it is recommended to dilute the light middle with dark;
one half of the mouth is painted vertically in a light tone, the other in a dark tone - an interesting option for a grand entrance or spectacular photo shoots.

Horizontal method. Features and principles:

the light part can be located at the junction of the lips, which will emphasize the shape and visually enlarge it;
coloring dark lipstick in the area where the mouth closes, it reduces the shape but emphasizes the whiteness of the teeth;
dark shade on top lower lip light will help focus attention on the top;
To highlight the lower part, you need to make a combination of a light tone on top and a light tone with a transition to dark below.

How to do ombre

Drawing a gradient smooth transition is not difficult: select shades of lipstick and apply them step by step on the surface, intertwining.

How to paint a horizontal lip line step by step:

Balm is applied to the skin and topped with loose powder.
A border is drawn along the natural contour line using a pencil.
A dark shade of lipstick is applied over the entire surface, except for the area where the mouth is closed.
The central part is worked in a light tone.
Apply shading to blur the borders.
Apply glitter in the middle to visually enlarge the shape.

How to paint lips using the vertical technique:

Light lipstick is distributed in the center and shaded.
Blot the surface with a napkin to remove excess.

Common Mistakes

Coloring in the ombre style requires care; it is easy to ruin it and make it look sloppy and provocative.

Choose colors that are as close in tone as possible. You can use colors that are distant in color, but are in perfect harmony with each other. Classic version- red with burgundy, beige with brown, purple with lilac.

For a gradient, it is not advisable to use gloss, gel or lipstick with sparkles. Matte lipstick is suitable for this type of makeup, which allows you to carefully shade the transitions and does not smudge during the day.

An important condition for mastering the ombre technique is that each tone must be combined with each other and emphasize makeup and eyes. Once you have mastered the step-by-step instructions, start experimenting.

Cosmetologist and founder of the mineral cosmetics line Kate O'Brien is confident that to create a seductive summer look, all you need to do is throw on light summer a dress with a floral print or an unusual ornament, wear sandals with a minimum of fasteners and apply bright lipstick.

If you have a little more time that you can spend on creating a memorable makeup, you can paint your lips using the ombre (dégrade) technique. The term degradation (or, as it is also called, gradient) means a smooth transition from one color to another.
IN English language this technique is called Ombre lips.

Initially, ombre was a method of coloring hair with a contrasting transition from dark to light. Later in hairdressing Ombre was replaced by the sombre technique, and ombre smoothly migrated to nail salons(cm. Ombre manicure: Step-by-step instructions). The coating with a smooth transition from one color to another is loved by many girls.

Today, makeup artists have decided to try ombre in the application of eye shadow, lipstick and gloss.

Why the ombre technique works for lip makeup

Why is this necessary, and what useful functions can such makeup provide:
1. Visually enlarge lips and/or make them more “plump”. A dark contour and a lighter middle of the lips creates an unusual effect - the lips instantly become plump. With the help of ombre, any, even the thinnest lips, will become brighter and fuller.
2. You can also visually reduce your lips.
3. By placing emphasis in the right places, visually change the shape of the lips and thereby even slightly change the proportions of the face (visually).
4. Finally, this is another way to add variety to your makeup;)

Such makeup, as it turns out, can be very wearable in Everyday life. After all, every girl can choose the gamma and degree of “gradient” herself. You can use subtle colors or make the transition of colors very, very smooth, almost unnoticeable - like a glare. But the image as a whole still turns out different.
If you have some imagination, you can come up with many possibilities for distributing colors on the lips;) Basically, of course, two colors are used - this is convenient, practical, and energy-intensive. You can try using more colors, but then there is a risk that the result will look awkward, awkward or too theatrical. Although, it all depends on the color scheme.

How to do ombre lips

To ensure that any gloss or lipstick lies smoothly and well, your lips can be pre-peeled and well moisturized.

Step 1 - Apply concealer pencil to lips
When you apply it to your lips a large number of concealer, lipstick or lip gloss will not roll or run off in the future. A smooth transition from one color to another will always look neat and bright. Instead of concealer, you can use a light foundation or a small amount of powder. After concealing and evening out the color, draw the outer edge of your lips with a white lip or eyeliner to make your lips fuller and prevent your lipstick from bleeding.

Step 2 - draw the outline of your lips with a dark pencil
Use a black eyeliner or a dark red lipliner to outline your lips. The corners of the lips can be drawn a little bolder, and the middle can be painted over, barely touching. You should get a gradient effect.

Step 3 - Apply bright red lipstick or gloss to your lips.
Using a special lipstick brush, apply bright red, cherry, scarlet or burgundy lipstick to your lips, starting from the middle of your lips. Fill the lip contour evenly so that the black pencil is not visible. You can fix your lip makeup with a colorless lip gloss.

To give your lips an additional transition effect from one color to another, apply a small amount of lipstick 1-2 shades lighter to the middle of the upper and lower lips.

Ombre on the lips can be horizontal, vertical, on only one lip, made in a variety of color combinations and textures.

1. The vertical method involves a fairly smooth transition of color from left to right.
2. The horizontal method assumes that the shade will change from bottom to top (sometimes the color changes from the contour of the lips inward).

Basic methods of applying a gradient:

decrease lips
d) light between two dark ones - creates an effect enlarged and/or more voluminous lips (some also call 3D)

Vertical.
