How To Get Your Full, Kissable Gradient Lips

Two is better than one! Get kissable gradient lips by matching your two favourite shades. Here are 4 easy hacks to get you started!

1- Concealer before & after

Start off with a blank canvas. If you don't want the lipstick colour to bleed or look dull, conceal your natural tone with a non-drying concealer.

At the end, conceal again! But, this time, do it to clean up on the outer edges of your lips. This touch gives it a smooth, neat finishing.

2- Line the edges

You can call it the 'primer' of your lips. A good lipliner helps the lipstick to pop out & stay on longer.

So, what shade of lipliner fits your ombre lips? Doesn't matter! You can go for a shade lighter or darker than the lipstick color.

But, line only the edges & shade in the corners with light, feathery strokes.

If you want juicier lips, you can overline a little but not too much!

3- Blend well

You don't want to look tacky with two solid lip colours just sitting on your lips.

So, make sure to blend with your fingertip/ clean cotton bud after applying the darker shade to the edge of your lips. Leave it to dry.

Next, apply the lighter color & blend again.

Another trick you can use is by pressing & rolling your lips together. You'll get a more even & natural finish.

Do this until you see the colours have turned into a beautiful gradient like a sunset in the evening.

4- Highlight your cupid's bow

Now, this trick plumps up your lips even more.

But, before that, apply a little concealer on your cupid's bow & below your lower lip. It defines the shape of your pout much clearer.

Pick out your favourite highlighter & dab just a hint over the arch of your cupid's bow.
