Ombre makeup
Ombre makeup is a fashion trend that will never lose its relevance. You can make such a make-up with any colors, which means that it is suitable for any event, be it a regular visit to the office or a night party at the club.
What is an ombre
The word "ombre" in French means "shadow." If you delve into the world of fashion, you can understand that in this case, this term means everything that has a smooth color transition. It is also called a degrad or gradient. The effect of ombre can be found not only in make-up, but also in manicure.
The peculiarity of the gradient effect is that the color transition should be exactly smooth. That is, it is not just a mixture of two different colors with a sharp border: in the middle there should be a shade that resembles both used tones. Such smoothness preserves a certain naturalness, be it a manicure or an ombre make-up.
Gradient eye makeup
Every girl at least once in her life did a gradient make-up with her own hands, but did not notice it. Favorite by many smoky eyes is also related to this style, because there is the effect of black shading and its gradual lightening, up to gray. Contest works on the gradient eye makeup are performed using bright colors: purple yellow, green with red, etc.

To get the perfect ombre lip makeup, you should use matte lipstick. Pearlescent and glossy samples will blur, and no gradient will work. If the sponges are very thin, and you want not only to get the effect of ombre, but also to give them fullness, then makeup should begin with the application of concealer or corrector. It evens out the tone of the lips and face. After that, you can draw the outline that you need with a pencil.
