Gradient Lips

September 28, 2013

I actually wanna call this 'My Everyday Lip-make' but I realized I don't wear this everyday, I wear it often, but not everyday. Ain't nobody got time for that. Moreover, I wanna make the title more specific, so let's call it 'Gradient Lips', the famous term to describe this kind of lip makeup. This lip-make is really popular in Korea. Like any other makeup that comes from Korea, it creates a dolly and innocent look.

It is pretty simple. We only need these products to create gradient lips:

1. Lip Balm 
I'm using Eos Lip Balm in Lemon Drop. Lip balm is really important because it prevents dryness. The lip tint, lip concealer, and lipstick (though the lipstick I used already moisture lips) can make your lips very dry and chapped. So, always use lip balm!

2. Lip Concealer 
It is actually nude lipstick, that has the same color as your skin. The one that I use here is Etude House Color Me Nude.

3. Lip Tint
I placed it wrong. Use lipstick first, and then lip tint. This lip tint absorbs to our lips and creates natural color on it. But beware, this kind of product can make lips dry faster. My favorite lip tint is the Color Pop #2 Sunny Pop from Etude House.

4. Lipstick
Yaaa, we all know lipstick. I use Maybelline Extreme Moisture Lipstick R41 Wine. 

As you can see, I choose bright lip colors. Those lip colors won't be used to all over our lips, just a tiny part of it, so don't worry it will appear soft.

Then, let's do this!


Step 1: Use lip balm


Step 2: Apply Lip Concealer and smooth it over. It will blur the outer lip-line.


Step 3: Apply lipstick on the inner part of lips, and smooth the lips. It gives a hint of pink.


Step 4: Make dots on the inner part of lips using lip tint. Pat the lips to make the color even.


Done!



You may add lip gloss for glossy lips, it also will diminish the appearance of lip cracks. 

That's all! Hope you like it.
