Makeup How-To: Two-Toned Ombrè lip

Makeup artist Lauren Cosenza breaks down exactly how to get this gorgeous two-toned tropical-colored lip.

1. Lip balm
2. Disposable mascara wand
3. Foundation
4. Concealer brush
5. Cranberry-colored lip crayon
6. Orange lip crayon
7. Orange lip gloss stain

1. Prep your lips. Apply lip balm over your lips and gently rub a clean disposable mascara wand over your lips to slough off any dead skin cells for even lip color application.

2. Create a nude base for the lip color. To make vibrant lip colors pop, prime your lips first with the same foundation you normally use on your face. Model Denise Bidot used Revlon ColorStay Foundation here and applied a tiny amount of the formula with a concealer brush evenly over her lips.

3. Line your mouth. Outline your pout with a bright, cranberry-colored lip crayon that has long-lasting wear. Denise used Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in "Standout." Continue to fill in your lips, fading out the color toward the center of your lips.

4. Create an ombrè effect. Place the tip of a long-wearing orange lip crayon (used here was Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in "Audacious") inside the center of your lips and fade it into the berry shade, creating a slight gradating effect.

5. Finish with an orange glossy stain. Give your lips that patent leather sheen by applying a dab of a glossy orange lip stain over the center of your lips. The shine in the middle of your mouth also gives the illusion of a fuller pout. Denise used Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain in "Miami Fever" here.

Wild Paris FW Beauty: Two-Toned Lips and Confetti Eyes

Meet the Beauty Bloggers

Carly Cardellino: I'm the beauty and fashion editor here at Cosmopolitan.com. I'll try just about anything once (I have the crop cut—my hair used to be super-long—and body wave to prove it) and then report back. I'm obsessed with hair products, like volumizers and salt sprays, as well as mascara, nail polish, a good foundation (right now I'm using Tom Ford Beauty Traceless Foundation SPF 15), and blush (it literally changes the way you look in seconds)—hopefully you can see why I'm in this business. I also love picking out head-to-toe outfits for friends whether they're going on a date with their guy or a black-tie wedding—so feel free to click on that "contact" link below and send me a question.

Leah Wyar: Ladies, I’m the DIY beauty guru. My specialties? Spray-tanning and mastering the at-home manicure. I’ve tried dozens of spray-tanning formulas and have mastered the art of the self-tan (don’t worry, I’ll share!). Plus, I paint on the hottest nail trends every week (currently I’m obsessed with the glitter and dark polish trend). Follow me as I branch out and perfect my DIY skills (up next: waxing!).

Marta Topran: I’m obsessed with making my skin as glowy as possible. That means trying out every anti-aging potion out there and never leaving the house without some sort of shimmery highlighter on my cheekbones. I’m also the resident brow and lash addict. Right now, I’m rocking super long lash extensions that I can’t believe I ever lived without.
