Lips Trend Explained
An ombre lip makeup is created by applying a light shade of lipstick to the centre of the lips and then gradually increasing the intensity of the colour as you move toward the edges. This can be done with two lipsticks of different shades or by using a single lipstick and blending it out with a brush.
The result is a soft and natural-looking gradient of colour that can range from subtle to dramatic makeup look. You must have seen this. A lot of you are into Korean-style Face makeup!

On the other hand, a gradient lip is achieved by applying a darker shade of lipstick to the outer edges of the lips and then gradually fading it inwards towards the centre. This can be done with two lipsticks or dark lipstick and blending it outwards with a brush.
The final result is a more defined and deliberate gradient of colour that tends to be more intense than an ombre lip. Who better than the queen of trends, AKA Kim Kardashian, can pull off a gradient lip look?
