A strong lip couldn't be more stunning, but if you want to give this classic look a
modern twist, add some ombré into the mix. Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza explains just how to get this killer black-to-crimson pout.
1. Camouflage your lips with a non-drying concealer to prevent feathering. "When you're applying such intense hues, you want to prevent any movement of your lip color, such as feathering or bleeding," Cosenza says. Model Bianca used Bobbi Brown Concealer in Natural Tan. "After you've applied cover-up all over your lips, continue by lining the outside of your natural lip line with No Bleeding Lips for extra protection against your lip color traveling."
2. Outline your lips in black. "Using a black eye liner — one that's safe to use on your mouth too — start lining your entire pout, and then fill in the outer corners only," she says. "This will create that gradated effect once you put the pop of color on your lips." Bianca used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero — its ingredients are non-toxic and vegan, so they won't harm you if you ingest the formula.
3. Coat your lips in a classic red shade. Starting from the center and blending out toward the black liner, apply your favorite red lipstick with a lip brush. Bianca went with Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense Color Lipstick in #42 Satin Vermilion Red. "Make sure to blend the colors with the lip brush where the edges meet to get that seamless ombré look," Cosenza adds. "And you can even top it with a clear gloss to give it that patent finish."
Now all you have to do is figure out where you're going to flaunt this notice-me look.
