Tips first:
Always prep your lips
Start by exfoliating your pout with a scrub to remove dead skin. Then hydrate with the KNC Beauty All Natural Collagen Infused Lip Mask to lock in moisture. These steps will ensure that your lip color applies evenly and stays on all day and night.
Use the edge of the brush to help fill in the corners of your lips
For an even cleaner finish, Alex Garza recommends using “a flat eyeliner or eyebrow brush and a tiny bit of foundation to clean up edges.”
Blot!
Blotting helps even out the color on your lips, but make sure you do it right. Color tends to fade faster towards the middle of your mouth, so press slightly harder on the tissue with your outer lip. It also helps to blot in between layers of color.
Now the looks:
Ombré
Here is Alex’s quick step-by-step on how to achieve the perfect ombré pout:
1. Line with a neutral brown to get your perfect shade.
2. Use a darker shade and go over where you put the liner using a brush.
3. Wipe off the brush and take the lightest shade and apply that to the center of the lips, top and bottom.
4. Finally, use the brush to blend the two shades together.
Mix and match
Create your own color! On glass or on a non-porous surface, use the brush to dab a little bit of the colors you’d like to mix. The trick is to mix a little bit at a time to help you nail down that perfect custom shade.
Gradient
Think of this as a reverse ombré. Use a lighter color as the base and a darker color in the middle.
You can create an infinite amount of shades with this palette. Mix and match colors to create your own custom shade. Tip: Mix 7 and 12 to create a bright, mauve shade.
