How To: Two Tone Lips

Source: REFINERY29

I never knew that there was really such a term as Two-Tone lip make up until I googled about dual lip colors moments ago. I've been doing the technique prior to this discovery so it made me glad that there was a point in make up history that girls wear two distinct lipsticks at one time. 

I hope you remember this picture that I posted a few months ago. I wore a soft nude lipstick on my upper lip and a ruby shade lip tint on my bottom lip. I loved the effect and the dimension created by the two colors. 

Here's my recent take on Two-Tone Lips:

I applied a nude pink lip color on my upper lip. Lighter shades somehow make the lips appear thinner than that of bold colors. Then I applied a darker shade on my bottom lip to make it appear more plump and fuller.

For the upper lip, I used Ever Bilena in Mauvey

For the bottom lip, I applied Nichido Lip Liner in Rosette

These colors are wearable so I love the color combination. Some people say that Two-Tone lipsticks are only great for Photography and Editorials. On the contrary, you can still pull off this look provided that you have the right colors. :)

 I love Two-Tone Lips! :) You can definitely play with different colors. If you're more adventurous than I am you can try brighter and bolder colors like the picture below! :P
