Just 3 Simple Steps! Here Is the Secret to Smooth & Crack-Free Implora Korean Matte Ombre Lips
No need for extra time or professional MUA skills to get K-Pop idol lips. Just follow these 3 simple steps using Implora’s latest collection, and your ombre lips will look smooth, comfortable, and fresh all day long!
Hello, Implovers! Lora here. Have you ever seen gradient lips that look completely effortless and thought, “What product are they using? It must be complicated to make.” Don’t worry the secret lies in combining the right two textures. In this article, Lora shares three simple steps and dives into real reviews from Implovers who have tried it out.
What Are Ombre Lips, and Why Does Everyone Love Them?
Ombre lips are a lip makeup technique featuring colors that blend seamlessly from deep to soft, usually from the outer edges of the lips toward the center. The effect creates dimension and a softer look, making it perfect for both daily wear and casual hangouts.
When it comes to finding a great ombre lipstick combo, the criteria are simple, choose products that blend easily, adhere well, and won't dry out your lips. If you want a stunning and long-lasting ombre look, use two different textures, a matte lip cream as the base and a lip tint to soften the color.
Implora Urban Cream Matte
The formula is soft and enriched with Vitamin E as an antioxidant to help maintain natural lip moisture. It delivers a matte finish while remaining comfortable and long-lasting. Available in 20 shades. For this Korean ombre look, the featured shade is 13 Hazelnude, a neutral nude shade that pairs easily with many colors.
Implora Cheek And Lip Tint
Enriched with Vitamin C to help brighten lips and protect them from free radicals, plus Omega 3, 6, and 9 to keep lips moisturized. It has a lightweight texture, a sweet strawberry scent, and comes in an adorable popsicle packaging. As a bonus, it is a dual-function product that can be used on both lips and cheeks as a blush. It comes in 9 shades and is highly recommended for ombre looks.
If you're asking, "Which Implora ombre shade number is safe for beginners?", the answer is, start with 13 Hazelnude from Implora Urban Cream Matte as your base. Its neutral tone pairs effortlessly with any lip tint color. For the tint, pick one according to your mood:
05 Cranberry for a fresh red-pink finish
06 Pumpkin for a warm orange-red vibe
02 Cherry Bomb for a bold cherry red
Other shades like Vampire Blood, Candy Apple, Red Wine, Juicy Juice, Waffle Crumble, and Red Velvet are also worth trying if you want to explore!
For those who are still confused about how to apply ombre lips, follow these three steps:
Step 1, Prep your lips and apply the matte base.
Make sure your lips aren't dry or chapped so the color applies evenly. After that, apply a thin layer of Implora Urban Cream Matte shade 13 Hazelnude around the outer edges of your lips. Don't apply it too thick just yet.
Step 2, Add color to the center of your lips.
Apply Implora Cheek And Lip Tint to the center of your lips, working from the middle inward. This is where the fresh color brings your ombre look to life.
Step 3, Blend until seamless.
Smooth out the border between the two colors using your fingertip or gentle dabs until the transition is smooth. If you want a deeper color, build it up in thin layers rather than applying a heavy coat all at once.
Lora's Tip, Building up color gradually is much safer than applying it thick right away. The result will look neater, feel more comfortable, and be easier to control.
To prove it's not just theory, let's take a look at the experiences of Implovers who have tried this combo. All three gave it a 5-star rating!
The Fresh Look: Shade Cranberry + 13 Hazelnude
This Implover tried it for the first time and instantly fell in love with the result. Most importantly, she felt that combining the lip matte and lip tint didn't dry out her lips at all. The color adhered immediately upon application and lasted a long time, prompting her to place a reorder right away.
Lesson learned: If you're worried about matte products drying out your lips, the key lies in pairing textures. Use a thin matte base on the edges, followed by a lightweight, hydrating tint in the middle. Cranberry is perfect if you love a fresh, natural red-pink look.
The Warm Look, Shade Pumpkin
The second Implover was also a first-timer who instantly fell in love with the shade. In her opinion, the Pumpkin color is absolutely gorgeous, quite long-lasting, and doesn't fade easily. She is already planning her next purchase.
Lesson learned: For those who want a flattering, warm-toned ombre color, Pumpkin is a top pick. Its orange-red tone feels cozy, and because it's long-wearing, you won't need frequent touch-ups.
The Bold Look, Shade Cherry Bomb + 13 Hazelnude
The third Implover described the texture as smooth and the color as stunning. She even mentioned that this was the exact ombre lip combo she had been searching for. She attached photos and a short video as proof of her satisfaction.
Lesson learned: A smooth texture makes blending much easier, especially for beginners. Cherry Bomb is ideal if you want a bolder ombre look that still looks neat and polished.
From these three reviews, Lora spotted a common thread: the combination is comfortable, the color adheres easily, and the final look is flattering. Results may vary slightly for everyone, so feel free to experiment with different shade combinations!
Want a natural and fresh look? Pair a nude base with a red-pink tint.
Want a warm and cozy look? Pair a nude base with an orange-red tint.
Want a bolder look? Pair a nude base with a cherry red tint.
If you are looking for a great ombre combination for dark or hyperpigmented lips, start with a thin layer first and build up gradually until you reach your desired opacity. Final colors may vary depending on natural lip tones, so try a few combinations until you find your perfect match!
If you are looking for a practical and flattering Implora ombre combination, the duo of Implora Urban Cream Matte and Implora Cheek And Lip Tint is a comfortable match worth trying. One delivers long-lasting matte coverage, while the other adds a hydrating, fresh touch. It is the perfect pair for soft yet stunning Korean gradient lips.
