Two Toned Lips - Hot Or Not?

My how lipstick looks have changed. Once upon a time it was a matter of just slicking on a pink or red tone and going about your business. Now there are colours galore. And the formulas! It's not just cream anymore. There are tints and liquids and glossy vs matte. It's a lipstick lovers dream! And with all this choice has come the arrival of some amazing lip-look trends.

One that's been popping up more and more - to the point where cosmetic companies, like Yves Saint Laurent, are making products specifically to create this look - are two-toned lips. Initially it started out as simply applying one shade of lippy on your upper lip, then a different shade of lippy to your bottom lip. But then makeup lovers began to mix it up by surrounding their outer lips in one colour and then filling in the rest in another - kind of like an ombre lip but without the blending. Those who liked to rock a more creative look then began to mix and match the two colours all over their lips in weird and wonderful patterns.

So what are some prime examples of this look? Check these out...

How gorgeously vampy are those lips? We love the darker upper and the lighter lower - and that it's both wearable and utterly showstopping, all at the same time!

The flexibility of this trend is one of the reasons we so enjoy it. You can really play with the colours and embrace a look that suits your personality - whether it be bold or subtle, fun or elegant.

So are two-toned lips something you'll be wearing this year? 

Are two-toned lips on your hit list?

I love the bottom style, I've done similar with red on top and pink on the bottom. It's a fun look.

Looks interesting for an artsy look, but not something I would go for normally

I love the 2-toned look!!! I love doing this with my Jeffree Star liquid lips - so easy to do and such a funky look. I haven’t tried the different colours for each lip, but I love it!

I see people using different shades to contour or make lips look bigger that would be the one I may be interested in otherwise I am not Keen.

love the first one, i think it looks better with a similar colour, but the others aren't terrible, just not me

27th January, 2018

I kind of love it! Not one I could wear to work but maybe to a festival or a gig or something

27th January, 2018

I think these look gorgeous when using the right shades that go together well but only I know I wouldn't be able to pull it off

24th January, 2018

I wouldn't do it myself, but it looks great!

24th January, 2018

I like it! The first pic is the bomb!

24th January, 2018

The first picture is stunning, but other than that not really a fan of this look for myself.

24th January, 2018

two tone that adds dimension and pout, yes...but not two completely different colours though hahaha

24th January, 2018

I like it . Not easy to achieve though. I’ve tried a few times to create an ombré lip.

I'm not a fan of the one colour on each lip type of look, but I do love the two-toned look when two colours are blended together (like the first photo)
