After seeing renditions from Keiko and Emily, I thought I’d give ombré lips a go. The original objective was to create a Black with Purple gradient but in the end, I went with a gilded finish.
First, I lined my lips with Avon Ultra Luxury Lip Liner in Baby Pink (which is, in actuality, more of a Peach Coral), made it a thoroughly generous border. You might be wondering why such a light hue given the final outcome. Honestly? It was the nearest thing on hand 🙂
I filled in the corners with Nyx Lipstick in Almost Black, first straight from the tube and then I evened it out with a lip brush.
I used Nyx Alecto to fill in the rest of the lips and then added a dash of Nyx Hubba Bubba Waouh in the centre of both upper as well as lower lips for contrast. Make sure everything is blended nicely.
Tadah 🙂 it took less than five minute to create this look. Is the ombré effect something you’d fancy? And try?
Love, Sheela
p/s that amazing eye liner? It’s from Addictive Cosmetics on Etsy 🙂 it shimmers and gleams and catches the light, and is everything sugary, spicy, and nice.

I’ve never been a fan of the ombre lips, to be honest, but I do like your choice of ombre shades. By the way, LOVE the aqua liner!

Not really a fan of the more stark ombrés, but this one definitely works well (and suits you.) I prefer subtle and colors that blend instead of vivid contrasts, so I will surely be trying this out.
I’m so enjoying the face/lip posts, Sheela!
