Doing Ombre lipstick is on high peak and popular fashion because of it’s outstanding and Beautiful look, therefore on every wedding and party girls like to do Ombre lip makeup.
These days, it's all about the ombre lip. But what exactly is it? Well, it's a very similar gradation of color that evolves from lightest to darkest, beginning at the center of the mouth. And it's usually outlined by a darker shade of lip pencil or lipstick to fake fuller lips.
Let us learn how to do Ombre lips.
1. Color Selection:
The first step is to understand which two colors can look good together to create the effect.
To decide the colors, pick one color that is your main lip color. Then choose a color that is either lighter than your base color or darker than your base color. But make sure it is similar in hue. The best look for ombre lips is achieved if you use a red lipstick and pair it up with the darkest brown you have. But for starters you should opt for a pink or a dark brown with your red. If you are opting for a pink as your base then use an orange lipstick or a brown one for the ombre effect. The secret is to use two colors that can be used to create a gradient of color on your lips.

Technique:
The next step is choosing your technique. There are various ways in which you can create the color gradient of a diy ombre lips. Having one lip in a darker shade than the other, using the gradient from outer most edge to the inner most part of the lips, or even going horizontally across such that one corner of your mouth is lighter in color than the other corner.
3. Two Tone Effect:
The simplest form of ombre lips is to use the lighter shade on one lip and the darker shade on the other lip and then blending them in at inner side of the lips.
4. Outer Devil:
The next technique of using the colors is to line
your lips with lip liner that is one shade darker than you’re base lipstick color. Keep the line thicker on the corners and taper off as you move to the curve of the lips. Then apply the base lipstick to the lips leaving out the inner most part of the lips. In the inner most part, use the lighter lipstick and top off with clear gloss to even it all out.
5. Inner Devil:
This technique is a simple reversal of the previous one. Reverse the use of colors such that inner most part of the lip is darker and the colors get lighter as you move out. This technique looks best if the difference in gradient is not stark. The best is with a pink inner most color and a neutral outermost color.
Oomph Effect:
I call this technique the oomph effect because if you do this using a bright red and deep brown or black, it gives you absolutely sexy looking red ombre lips. The technique involves using a black/brown lipstick or liner. You need to trace a line of black/brown on the inner corners of your mouth and line the lower lip with this as well. Now trace over this line of black or brown with a deep colored lipstick (preferably a wine shade). Finally apply a red lipstick all over your lips (you can skip the wine colored lipstick if you are using a deep shade of red)
