We’re making the transition from spring into summer, and one seasonal beauty trend that has caught my eye is ombré lips.

I’ve always liked this trend, but never attempted it because I thought it would be incredibly difficult to do. However, after some experimenting, I determined that this look is actually so easy to achieve. It takes mere seconds, and instantly transforms your makeup look by adding dimension and a fashion-forward touch. I encourage all of you to give this trend a shot!

All that you need to create an ombré lip is two lip colors that are somewhat contrasting, but also complementary to each other. They can be the same brand but they don’t have to be – it’s all based on what you have in your collection!

Here, I’ll give you the step-by-step process to creating ombré lips, as well as show you 5 different ombré combinations. Each of these combinations are a subtle way to add some gorgeous flair your everyday natural eye look.
