How to Get Ombré Lips

Ombré lips—with their cool, dual-toned effect—have been all over Instagram and the red carpet, and it’s no surprise why. “Ombré lips are fun, they’re different, and they’re a new way to play with bold color,” says Avon celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan. And here’s something you’d never guess: They’re actually really, really easy to do. You just need two different lip colors, a daring personality, and these step-by-step instructions.

1) Choose your colors.

“Pick two that aren’t so off from each other, but that give you a bit of a gradient,” says Deenihan, who especially loves vibrant pinks and oranges paired together. “I did that with Lucy Hale recently when I put bright pink on her lips, then mark. Coraltini—a bright orange—just in the center of the pout,” she says. “When they bled together, they looked like rainbow sherbet ice cream! It was super fun and very spring-y.” To get the look, try Avon True Color Ultra Hydrating Lip Color in Poppy Pink with mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat in Coraltini.

2) Apply your first lip color.

Grab one of your colors (keep in mind, it’s the one that will end up being the most prominent focus of your look), and apply it all over your lips.

3) Go in with color #2.

Next, take your second color and apply it just in the middle of your mouth. (In other words, right at the center of your bottom lip and just under your cupid’s bow on the top lip.)

4) Kiss and combine.

Now comes the big moment: Gently press your lips together a few times (“this kind of bleeds the two shades together,” says Deenihan), smile, and you’re officially ombré-ed and good to go!
*Touch-up tip: Remember to take both colors (and a small purse mirror) with you if you’re going out, since reapplying ombré lips requires a bit more effort than a mindless swipe. “To reapply, take out your mirror, and just redo the whole thing,” says Deenihan. “There’s no way to just do one color and still have the same look.” She adds that you’ll know it’s time for a do-over when the colors have faded—or morphed together into one new hybrid shade.

How to Transition Your Skin Care Routine for Summer


Wool sweaters don’t work in the dead of summer—and neither do thick, heavy skin creams. Yes, just as your wardrobe adapts to the changing seasons, so should anything you put on your complexion. Read on to learn what to swap out, and what to add, to ensure your softest, safest, and best summer skin ever.

Reach for an SPF moisturizer.

Sunscreen is incredibly important year round, but with the summer sun always shining bright—and the UV rating consistently high—it’s an absolute must these days. So don’t even think about going outside without it. The easiest way to get your SPF fix? Choose a day cream with built-in sunscreen like Avon ANEW Skinvincible Day Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50, which also contains a potent dose of antioxidants. For extra protection, apply Avon ANEW Vitamin C Brightening Serum before you use your SPF. This extra layer helps to provide an added barrier against sun, pollutants, and other aggressors.

Don’t forget your neck and chest.

Even the most diligent women who apply anti-aging creams and potions daily, often forget to slather a bit more south. Your neck and chest can develop wrinkles and brown spots, too, and those unwelcome additions will instantly make you look older. To keep these often neglected spots looking young, always wear sunscreen here, too, and add a good neck and chest cream to your skin-care regimen. Avon ANEW Platinum Firm & Sculpt Cream for Neck and Chest contains a powerful peptide complex to boost collagen and elastin production. Translation: Your neck and décolletage will look smoother, more lifted, and yes, younger in your sundresses and scoop-neck tees.

Lighten up with lotion.

When legs and arms are on display, it’s important to keep them moisturized. Problem is, rich creams and thick body butters can feel stifling during the hotter months. Instead, switch to a lotion formula. We like the light, but incredibly effective, Avon Senses Cucumber & Melon Body Lotion, which also has a refreshing, perfect-for-summer scent!

Supercharge your sunscreen.

When it’s tank-top-and-shorts weather, sunscreen becomes even more important. So before you venture out, always apply an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen on all exposed skin, and remember to reapply it every two hours. And if you’re going to be spending a lot of time outdoors, consider going with a multitasking sunscreen like Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Lotion. Not only will it provide excellent sun protection, but it will also repel insects—including those that carry Zika—so that you can enjoy a burn-free and bite-free backyard BBQ, day at the lake, or afternoon jog.

Baby your feet.

When your feet are stuffed into boots during the winter months, you can get away with ignoring them. But now that sandal season is here, it’s time to give them a little extra TLC. To keep feet show-off ready, slather them every evening with a rich, moisturizing treatment. We love Avon Foot Works Beautiful Overnight Renewing Foot Cream, which is packed with skin-softening jojoba oil, green tea extract, and glycerin. But the best part? It’s designed to work while you catch your zzz’s. Talk about beauty sleep!

Summer Makeup Tips for Your Beauty Routine


Summer makeup, unbeknownst to many, not only should be different to our makeup used in winter in terms of colors and texture but also in terms of protection. As temperatures rise, our look changes, the palette of colors widens up and the sun provides us with a tanner and brighter skin. However, at the same time, it has also become the biggest threat to it over the last decades with temperatures rising every year. The time to shelve your cashmere sweaters and break out your sundresses has arrived. But guess what? Your beauty routine could use a similar seasonal overhaul! Now that the temperatures are rising, save the heavy textures and dark colors for the fall, and make “lighter and brighter” your summertime mantra. Here’s how.

Choose a multitasking moisturizer.

Sunscreen is extremely important year round, but in the warmer months, the UV index is higher (meaning you’ll burn and rack up sun damage easier and faster), so it’s an absolute must to wear it every day. That means, if you haven’t been wearing it every day in the winter, now is the time to commit. The easiest way to do that? Pick a day cream with built-in SPF, so that you’re protecting and hydrating in one easy step. We love Avon NutraEffects Radiance Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, which contains the great-for-skin superfood, chia seed.

Add a primer.

Humid weather can cause even the best makeup to do a disappearing act after just a few steamy hours. To keep yours intact and going strong, longer, always apply a primer. Avon MagiX Face Perfector provides a smooth base for makeup, then works to fight shine all day long, keeping skin matte—and makeup flawless.

Swap out your foundation.

Heavy, full-coverage foundations can look and feel, well, heavy during the warmer months. Instead, try a lighter, more seasonally-appropriate product. We love Avon True Color Ideal Nude Foundation, which contains water-based pigments in the formula that give you a fresh look. (Big bonus: It comes packed with SPF, too!)

Go for a waterproof mascara.

Pool time and beach days are obviously not kind to mascara. But even run-of-the-mill sweaty days can cause it to run, smear, or smudge. To avoid a raccoon-eye situation, opt for a good waterproof formula. Avon Big & Daring Waterproof Mascara creates thick, dramatic lashes that really stay put through rain, swimming, or humid afternoons.

Play with a bright lipcolor.

Dark berry or deep red shades of lipstick are beautiful—but they look a little more at-home in the wintertime. Instead, try a bold, playful shade like hot pink or bold coral. Not only are brights huge for the season, but they’re an instant pick-me-up, adding a fun pop of color to your look from the moment you swipe them on.

Upgrade your sunscreen.

During the chilly months, you can often get away with skipping body sunscreen. (After all, you’re usually covered head to toe in long-sleeves and pants!) Not so, in the summer when legs, arms, and shoulders are almost always on full display. The Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Collection is the ultimate summer protection. To protect you in more ways than one, Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Lotion shields skin from the sun and repels nasty bugs—including those that can carry the Zika virus.

Spritz on a summery fragrance.

Deep, heavy scents can be overwhelming in the summer, especially when the weather is hot. Instead, look for light fragrances with soft, fresh notes like fruit or citrus. Our pick: Avon Prima Eau de Parfum, which blends summery notes of crisp bergamot and juicy plum with its feminine floral base.
