Choosing your shade is pretty much a personal choice. You can create an ombre lip with pretty much any colour but choosing two complimentary shades is so important when creating your look. Line your lips first with a deep lip liner in whatever shade you choose to create your ombre lip look. Then fill in your lips with the liner but not completely, just fill in the outside edges of the lips and blend. Follow up your lip liner with a lighter shade of lipstick and apply on the centre part of your lips. When creating an ombre lip, opt for a creamy formula with a matte finish so the colour blends easily with your lip liner.

PRO Tip
If your lips are a little uneven or you want to create the illusion of a fuller lip, extend your lip line slightly by overdrawing your lips, adding fullness where needed. Be careful not to take your lip line to far as to look unnatural. Taking a small, defined lip brush, blend the deeper lip liner and the light lipstick together to create a gradient effect on your lips. Once beautifully blended, tap over your lips a couple of times with your finger tips to ensure the ombre effect looks seamless.
