Ombre lips tutorial ❤

I have been asked a few times how I do my black and red ombre lips so I thought I would do a little step by step guide in how I do it and what products I used.  

1. cover your lips with your foundation, concealer or lip eraser, this step isn't essential but it may help clean up later on!
2. line your lips with a black lip or eye pencil and add extra black to the corner of my lips
3. apply lipstick straight from the bullet or with a brush and blend the colours together with your lips 
4. clean up is optional! if you want a precise look you can go back with your concealer brush and some concealer and clean up the edges
5. next step is personal choice, I love to add gloss with any ombre look but that is totally up to you.

Products I used;

Jelly Pong Pong 2 in 1 eyeliner & shadow pencil in black

MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo

Today I will be reviewing one of the bestselling lipsticks from MAC, Ruby Woo £15.00. Every woman should have at least one red lipstick in there makeup collection and this has to be one of my personal favourites.  It is the perfect retro red with a matte finish, the blue undertones help make discoloured teeth look whiter, which is a bonus in my eyes. 

Ruby Woo

Ruby Woo is perfect for all seasons and looks good on most skin tones.  They are many positive aspects of this lipstick but perfection does not exist (sadly).  I personally find the lipstick extremely drying, which also tugs on your lips while applying.

Pros
• Perfect for any season.
• Matte finish.
• Highly pigmented.
• Long lasting.
• Does not transfer.
• Leaves a nice red tint after fading.

• Perfect for most skin tones.

• Makes discolored teeth look whiter

Cons
• Can be drying.
• The lipstick tends to tug your lips while applying.
• Availability might be a problem

Before applying any matte lipstick I make sure my lips are exfoliated and moisturise to reduce the dryness.  Ruby Woo also looks best when paired with Cherry lipliner also from MAC.
