It’s actually easier than you might think, all you need are two complementary lipsticks and a lip pencil!

Follow the steps below to try out this cool style!

How To Do An Ombre Lip

Step 1.

Moisturize the lip – apply petroleum jelly or lip balm.

Step 2.

Apply a light medium face powder all over the lip to cancel any redness or pigments.

Step 3.

Outline the lips with a lip liner (of your choice).  Take your time and keep the lines as even as possible.

Step 4.

Press your lips together and blend the lip liner – just keep on shading.

 Step 5.

Apply a matte lip cream on the areas without a shade and then press the lips together (lightly).  Then re-apply the matte lip cream to create a blend of two shades.

Step 6.

Outline the lips again to correct any uneven areas when the lip cream was applied. And dab the middle of lips to blend the two shades.

Step 7.

(Optional) Outline the sides with concealer to clean the area.

3. Sexy Bronze Eyes

Bronze eyeshadow almost always look great in every occasion because it’s a mix of both subtle and sexy, it just depends what way you want to take it. In this tutorial, its a bronze smokey eyes look that will turn you into a bronze bombshell on prom night.

4. Shimmer Eyes

You can never go wrong with going for shimmery eyes on prom night, because frankly, you’ll fit right in with all the glitz and glamour that night. This shimmery eyes tutorial will look great with neutral color dresses.

5. Simple and Chic Look

Some girls prefer a more toned down look. This simple and chic prom makeup tutorial will help you achieve a natural look, which will actually look great in any colored dress. Just make sure to add more color in the lips to avoid a too muted look.

6. Beautiful Night Makeup

Are you someone who likes to go heavy on the eyes? This shimmery white and black smokey eyes tutorial should get you the eye drama you need. Don’t forget to pick a more neutral or nude shade for the lips.

7. Beautiful Smokey Eyes

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jZf8Vhytz/ hidecaption=true width=625]

This smokey eye tutorial mixes a bit of bronze, dark silver and black to create the beautiful look. It will look beautiful on light-colored dresses. Make sure to frame the eyebrows perfectly and fill it in too. As a rule of thumb with smokey eyes, keep the lips neutral.

8. Natural Prom Makeup

Lauren Curtis’ YouTube tutorial on how to do natural prom makeup is one of the most popular ones out there. She does it perfectly and we’re sure you can too. Here, she went for a soft look by using pink eyeshadow, flushed cheeks and pink lips.

9. Barbie Look

If you’re blond and you want to pull off bright lips, then you’ve got to do the Barbie prom look we have here. For the eyes, bronze eyeshadow is used, but as you can see, you must get your lashes on point with this look.

10. Gold Glitter and Red Lips

Go bold on prom night with this daring look. Maryam Maquillage shares a tutorial on how to do gold glittery eyes with red lips. Make heads turn with this prom look.

11. Gold and Black Makeup

For girls who want to do a smokey eye but add a hint of gold because of their dress, this makeup tutorial should be the right one for you. It’s a very subtle look that will allow your dress to get all the attention it deserves.

12. Golden Smokey Eyes

So we’ve given you glittery gold eyes and subtle gold eyes, now it’s time for a bolder approach-the gold smokey eyes. This look mixes gold, a bit of bronze and black to create that sun goddess look. Also, those light pink lip color complements the heavy eyes well.

13. Violet Eyes

For girls with blue eyes who want to make their blue eyes glisten on prom night, why not try this white and violet eyeshadow look? These colors look great on blue eyes but do be warned though, violet eyeshadow must only be used if it matches your dress too.

14. The Mature Look

There’s no harm looking a bit older on prom night. After all, it’s one of the rarest nights in your life that you get to dress up and get all dolled up with your friends. To do this mature look, go heavy on the eyeliner and make sure to put on a bright red lipstick for extra appeal.

15. Pretty Prom Look

This is another prom makeup tutorial from Lauren Curtis. But this time, she made this pretty look for all the girls on the budget. You can achieve this look with mainly drugstore makeup.

16. Glittery Silver and Pink Look

What a powerful combination this is, silver and pink together just looks awesome! But in this makeup tutorial, Mayra uses a different technique–using roll on shimmer instead of eyeshadow to get the shimmery icy look. Doesn’t it look so pretty? She only used drugstore makeup too!

17. Rock the Black Dress Look

We know that black dresses are so popular in prom. It’s elegant and sophisticated. So if you’re wearing a black dress, make sure to match it with bright red lipstick, just like what Taylor Swift did here. Bright red lips plus a black dress is a deadly combination.

18. Simple for Silver Look

A lot of girls have the belief that if they wore a silver dress, they immediately have to match it up with silver eyes too. Well, that’s not really true. Maryam Maquillage’s tutorial on this Chrissy Teigen inspired look is great for silver dresses. Keep the whole face simple and push the boundaries with a dark red berry lipstick.

19. Aqua Green with Gold Glitter

We are gushing over this look, how can you not?  Mixing aqua green with gold glitter is just pure genius and it gives you a very unique look for prom night–something that will make you stand out from the crowd.

20. Blue Eyeshadow

A prom look inspiration list won’t be complete without the blue eyeshadow, which girls really love. This tutorial will teach you how to use this intimidating shade of eyeshadow and match it with your prom dress.

21. Almost Bare Look

At first glance, it seems like Kylie Jenner isn’t wearing any makeup at all except for her beautiful berry lips. While the lips is the focal point of this almost bare look, do watch out for the cat eyes, which is just a subtle detail in pulling off this oh-so natural look.

22.Rose Petals

We’re not particularly sure why this is called rose petals, but we could care less because it looks so beautiful. The mixture of gold, bronze and violet is very unique for a prom look. So if you want to be different, try this look out.

23. Metallic Blue Eyes

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt05Pp-An4v/ hidecaption=true width=625]

Blue eyeshadow makes blue eyes pop. This metallic blue eyeshadow will look great in light to dark blue dresses, which is also a favorite in prom night. Complete the metallic look with rose lips to make the look a bit more subdued.

Red Lip Obsession: Find the Perfect Shade for Holiday Parties! https://makeuptutorials.com/red-lip-obsession-holiday-party/ https://makeuptutorials.com/red-lip-obsession-holiday-party/#respond Wed, 04 Dec 2024 06:00:17 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=65942 The holidays are all about sparkle, joy, and, of course, glamour. And what’s the easiest way to channel effortless chic? A swipe of red on your lips! It’s bold, empowering, and, with the right shade, perfect for any occasion. But with so many shades and formulas out there, finding “the one” can feel tricky. Luckily, this guide is your step-by-step ticket to holiday perfection.

Red Lip Obsession: Find the Perfect Shade for Holiday Parties!

Why Is Red a Holiday Staple? ❤

Red is synonymous with holiday cheer. From Santa’s suit to the ribbons on perfectly wrapped presents, it’s a color that commands attention. A swipe of red lipstick instantly adds elegance to your look, whether you’re at a glamorous party or just unwrapping gifts with loved ones.

Still, not all reds are the same, and choosing one that flatters your features is key. Moreover, the right red lip can enhance not just your outfit but also your confidence.

Step 1: Know Your Skin Tone

The first step to finding your ideal shade is understanding your skin’s undertone. Once you figure this out, you’ll have a clear path to the perfect red.

Cool Undertones

If your veins appear blue and silver jewelry suits you best, cool-toned reds with a blue base (like cherry or cranberry) will make your complexion pop.

Warm Undertones

If your veins look green and gold jewelry is more your thing, opt for warm-toned reds like brick or tomato red for a radiant effect.

Neutral Undertones

Lucky you! If you have neutral undertones, nearly any red will suit you. A classic true red is always a safe and stunning choice.

As you experiment, try swatching a few shades to see how they complement your natural skin tone. Over time, you’ll find the shade that feels just right.

Step 2: Choose the Perfect Formula

The formula of your lipstick can change the entire vibe of your look. While shade is critical, finish and texture also play important roles in your overall makeup look.

  • Matte: A sophisticated choice for long-lasting wear. Perfect for formal holiday dinners.
  • Glossy: Adds youthful shine, great for casual or playful gatherings.
  • Creamy: A versatile option that’s hydrating and perfect for colder weather.

Tip: Matte lipsticks pair well with sharp winged eyeliner, while glossy reds shine with minimal eye makeup for balance.

Additionally, consider the practicality of your formula choice. For instance, creamy lipsticks are more forgiving when it comes to touch-ups. On the other hand, matte formulas tend to last longer, even after meals.

Step 3: Flawless Application

Even the perfect shade needs a good base. To nail the look, start with lip prep. While it might seem minor, prepping your lips ensures the color applies smoothly and lasts longer.

  1. Exfoliate your lips to avoid flakiness.
  2. Hydrate with a balm and let it absorb.
  3. Line Your Lips with a matching or slightly darker liner to prevent smudging.
  4. Apply with Precision using a lip brush for crisp edges.

For an even bolder impact, you can layer your lipstick. First, apply a thin layer, blot with tissue, and repeat. This technique builds intensity and locks in the color.

Red Lipstick for Every Holiday Event

No matter the occasion, there’s a red for you. Whether you’re dressing up for a gala or keeping it casual, the right red elevates your entire look.

  • Holiday Soirées: Opt for a matte, deep red to exude elegance.
  • Cozy Gatherings: A creamy red with orange undertones adds warmth.
  • Office Parties: Keep it sophisticated with a balanced true red.

t Let your lips be the star in every event. Pair your red lips with soft, glowy skin or bold lashes to create an unforgettable holiday look.

Quick Fixes for Red Lip Mishaps

A red lip requires upkeep, and these tricks will keep yours flawless:

  • Blot: After applying, gently blot with a tissue to remove excess applications and set the color.
  • Conceal: Clean up edges with concealer for a sharp finish.
  • Carry Essentials: Keep a mirror and your lipstick handy for touch-ups.

Even if you’ve perfected your application, minor mishaps can happen. For example, eating or drinking might cause slight fading. However, a quick blot-and-reapply will have you looking fresh in no time.

Your Red Lip Moment

When in doubt, go red. The right shade can make you feel glamorous and unstoppable no matter what the season brings! Don’t be afraid to experiment until you find your signature holiday red. After all, the best looks always start with a little boldness.

FAQs

  1. What shade of red lipstick suits all skin tones?
    A classic true red with a neutral undertone flatters almost everyone.
  2. How do I stop red lipstick from smudging?
    Use a lip liner to outline and fill in your lips before applying the lipstick, and blot between layers.
  3. Can I wear red lipstick during the day?
    Absolutely! Pair it with minimal eye makeup for a chic daytime look.
  4. What’s the best red lipstick formula for dry lips?
    A creamy or satin formula is hydrating and comfortable for dry lips.
  5. How can I make my red lipstick last through a meal?
    Layer your lipstick over a primer and set it with translucent powder to extend its wear.
  6. Does red lipstick suit thin lips?
    Yes! Add definition with a lip liner and a dab of gloss in the center for a fuller effect.
  7. How do I choose the right red for my undertone?
    Cool undertones look great with blue-based reds, while warm undertones shine with orange-based shades.
  8. What eye makeup goes best with a red lip?
    A simple winged liner or neutral eyeshadow complements a bold red lip perfectly.
  9. Can I wear red lipstick with a colorful outfit?
    Yes, but opt for a shade that contrasts or complements the colors in your outfit.
  10. How do I avoid lipstick on my teeth?
    After applying, place a finger in your mouth, close your lips around it, and pull it out to remove excess lipstick.

Kylie Jenner’s Latest Lip Kit Shades Will Make You Feel Blue https://makeuptutorials.com/kylie-jenners-latest-lip-kit-shades/ https://makeuptutorials.com/kylie-jenners-latest-lip-kit-shades/#respond Fri, 06 Sep 2024 07:54:28 +0000 https://makeuptutorials.com/?p=31331 Have you seen Kylie Jenner’s latest lip kit shades yet? If not, read on to take a sneak peek.

Kylie Jenner’s Latest Lip Kit Shades Will Make You Feel Blue

Right after Kylie Jenner released her “best nude shade ever” lipstick, she launched two (more) bold shades in addition to her ever-popular liquid lipsticks. One has a metallic finish and the other one is matte. Just when you thought the 18-year-old reality TV star will stop right there – nope! She’s unstoppable, y’all! A few days ago, Kylie teased her followers in Snapchat that… wait for it – two new shades will be added to her lip kits. She posted a photo in black and white (how mean!).

Until she finally revealed that the two new shades are in blue colors! Yep! Two new blue shades are going to be added to her fast-growing cosmetic line. She loves blue hair and now she has something from her makeup line to match it.

|

Skylie, is a bright turquoise color. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Kylie snapped a photo that her inspiration in creating this shade is her very own light blue Ferrari.

While the other shade is a dark vampy navy blue color, labeled as Freedom. I bet she loves 90’s goth colors.

As Kylie explains, the two blue shades are both part of her exclusive 4th of July collection. And it’ll be available this Friday!

The two additional shades are obviously different yet unique compared to her current line of liquid lipsticks. Make sure to set your alarms if you want to grab them — that is, if you’re bold enough to wear ’em.

I think every girl in the world (who’s into makeup of course) dreams of having every single of her lip kits to add in their collection.

Makeup Product Review: Kylie Jenner’s ‘Exposed’ Lip Kit

When the young Jenner started to create her own makeup line, it totally made a buzz in the makeup world. Like literally, every time she releases a new shade of her (matte, metals and glosses) products, it’s always sold out on her cosmetic line’s website.

I must admit, I’m not a fan of Kylie’s nor her lip kits. But then, when she told the internet that she’ll be having a new shade named “Exposed” and “it’s the best nude” she has ever used, I told myself I’m gonna have to try that- and yasss, (with the help of my friend) I got one! Before I even got this, I’ve seen Kylie wearing it on her Snapchat and Instagram posts and I was convinced it was a great neutral shade. I’ve never purchased any lip kits before… Is it all hype or is it truly the greatest lip kit of all time? Let’s find out.

Makeup Product Review: Kylie Jenner's 'Exposed' Lip Kit

I open the packaging, and just like her other Lip Kits I see on the internet, the individual box comes with a lip liner and a liquid lipstick.

Kylie said that Exposed is different than the rest of her other neutral shades. She added that this one has an orange undertone for a super nude effect. And yes, I will agree to that.

A lot of people have reviewed this product, some liked it but others didn’t – and I’m one of them.

I honestly didn’t like the formula of both lip liner and liquid lipstick. The lip liner is creamy but it’s not that pigmented when applied on the lips, while the liquid lipstick, it’s drying – well, of course it’s matte but the product description said it has moisturizing ingredients and a silky feel, uhmm where did it go?

Compared to Jeffree Star’s Velour Liquid Lipstick in the shade Celebrity Skin, Kylie’s Exposed is way too different. Obviously, they’re totally different brands but I’m talking about each liquid lipstick’s formula. Both are lightweight and a neutral shade that sets into matte, but you won’t feel any cracking on your lips with Jeffree’s Celebrity Skin unlike Kylie’s Exposed which is not comfortable to wear. I don’t know about you, but this is why I don’t get why there are girls who’s going gaga for this expensive product. I mean, you could still have a “best” nude shade with other brands out there that won’t break your wallet and will be comfortable to wear on your lips. The only thing I liked with Kylie’s Exposed is the scent. It smells good like a vanilla cupcake – sooo good I want to eat it.

Pros

For Kylie’s liquid lipstick:

  • Easy to apply with its soft wand
  • Smells great
  • Pigmentation is good with just one swipe
  • Smudge proof
  • Longevity is not questioned since it lasted for several hours though it faded on the inner part of the lips but I think most liquid lipsticks are like that.

For Kylie’s lip liner:

  • Creamy and glides smoothly on the lips
  • Smells great
  • Easy to sharpen (still wishing it’s retractable)

Cons

For Kylie’s liquid lipstick:

  • It’s lightweight at first but not comfortable compared to Jeffree Star’s Celebrity Skin, as if like you’re not wearing anything on your lips
  • drying (where’s did the moisturizing went?)
  • it’s buildable but it feels  heavy when it’s fully dry and I don’t think you wanted to add more dryness on your lips

For Kylie’s lip liner:

  • Not pigmented enough

Overall, it’s a good neutral shade but I don’t think it would suit many people. I will only be keeping this product just because its smells sweet and also because I just helped Kylie buy another expensive car. #sorrynotsorry

7 Gorgeous Matte Lipsticks You Should Have In Your Makeup Bag

There’s no doubt matte lipsticks are taking the makeup world by storm. For some of us, we remember trying to do a matte finish by adding powder to our glossy lipstick, but thankfully, those days are long gone.

Thanks to never-ending makeup innovations, there are a great deal of matte lipsticks available in almost every makeup store (Sephora and Ulta definitely have your back on this one). Plus, most makeup brands offer matte lipsticks in different colors and shades like your usual glossy lipstick.

We compiled the best matte lipsticks available in the market to save you time and money from trying each and everyone of them before finding the right one!

1. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Aside from the fact that these babies are cheap, they also won’t dry out your lips and they last forever. They also come in gorgeous colors, from nudes to pinks and even plums and black!

2. MAC The Matte Lip Lipsticks

Every makeup girl went wild when MAC announced the release of The Matte Lip lipsticks. Which, of course, made us love MAC even more. Aside from the fact that these lipsticks are non-drying and last for 5-6 hours a day, they are also staying in the market permanently. Woohoo!

3. Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick

Very comfortable to wear, looks amazing and doesn’t dry the lips. This liquid lipstick stays on for 4 to 5 hours and glides on easily when applied.

4. E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Color

Amazing quality at a cheap price! These lip colors are everything you’re looking for in a matte lipstick.

These adorably packaged lip colors comes in 6 beautiful shades. They also don’t require several coats, the color is highly pigmented and, as is the case with the rest of their products, Revlon promises a non-drying matte formula.

6. NARS Pure Matte Lipstick

A beautiful matte lipstick that lasts for 8 hours. It is also buildable which means that if you prefer to go subtle, you can simply dab a bit of it on your lips for soft color or do several applications for a rich, deep color. Pro Tip: you must exfoliate with this lipstick as it will dry out your lips!

7. The Balm Meet Matte Hughes

Meet Matte Hughes has a non-sticky formula that tastes and smells like minty vanilla. It stays on for 4 to 5 hours and doesn’t stick to the creases in your lips.
