The term “ombre” (other names ⎼ “dégrade”, “gradient”) means a smooth transition from one color to another. This technique has been used for a long time in different directions - in hairdressing, manicure, even in creating clothing collections. As it turns out, a smooth gradation of shades from dark to light can look impressive not only on hair or nails. Ombre lip makeup has appeared relatively recently. Ombre lips are a new trend in makeup, which makeup artists, and then permanent makeup artists, eagerly began to use.
To create ombre lip makeup, the principle of color transition is used: the inner part of the lips is made lighter, and the darkest shade is applied to the outline. The main distinguishing feature of ombre lips is a clear contour and well-defined color gradation. Professionals recommend combining two colors, although you can use more shades (up to 5) - it all depends on skill and preference. It is advisable to choose colors that harmoniously combine only a few shades. This will make the gradient transition as smooth as possible. This technique is well suited for those who want to visually increase the volume of their lips, make them voluminous and seductive, without resorting to more radical means.
