I have a ridiculous stash of vintage hats in my closet at home. Home being my parent’s house. (Though, I suppose that after living in NYC for more than a decade, “Home” could be either place.)
Back to the hats. I was in town for a second so I called my friend Amy up, and called Issa up, and this is what we did:
I thought it would be a fun twist on the classic red lip to give it an ombre for the holidays.
How to get this look after the jump:
1. To stop the lip from feathering, line your lips first with a water-proof red lip pencil. If you want a little extra staying power, take a lip brush and blend some of the liner in towards the center of your lip, or you can color your lip in with the pencil. I like Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip pencil #8c.
2. Use a red lip stain to fill in most of your lip, leaving the center of your lip open. For sharp lines, I like to use a slanted eyeliner rather than a traditional lip brush Let the product set. I like Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge #8.
3. Fill in the center of your lip with a Magenta lip product using a lip brush feathering the color slightly out ward from the center, in to the red. I like OCC Lip Tar in Pretty Boy.
4. Let the products set, blot gently to remove any excess.
5. Using a small concealer brush, conceal and use a translucent powder around the edges of your lips to combat migrating lip lines.
I’ve selected 5 of my favorite OCC Lip Tars to give away, courtesy of my friends at Obsessive Compulsive.

Oh la la, looks lovely! Sadly, my 2-year-o;d got into my make-up bag and decimated all my fave lipsticks & glosses... I found her with a "version" of your ombre lip ALL over her face!
