Request - Ombre Lips

-

Someone asked me to try out an Ombre technique on my lips, and since I had only tried it once for a fancy dress party I thought I would give it a go




As you can see I chose Revlon Parisian Passion and Maybelline Juicy Pink.


The results were pretty rubbish and the two lipsticks just blended in together, with only a very slight darkening in the corners. 
So I thought I'd try again with 2 different colours, 


Lasting Finish by Kate (Rimmel) in the shade Kiss Of Life, and with it I blended an almost nude lip gloss. Again the results were not great so to highlight the light in the centre I added some lip glitter.




I would say this was more successful but the ombre effect is quite subtle. I think I will revisit this again and see if I cant achieve a more dramatic look.

I really like the 3 smaller colours, black, grey and white, but to be honest the other colour isn't my colour at all, and something with a purple or pink hue would have been better for me. They are soft, but ...
