Are you bitten by the ombre lip bug? I wasn’t. For some reason, it’s one of the makeup trends that passed me by. I did notice however, that there are two sorts of ombre lips – the Western ombre lip trend, and the Korean ombre lip trend.<\/p>\n

The Western ombre lip trend has a deeper colour on the outer lip, and a lighter shade on the inner lip. This, I find, makes lips look larger and more pouty. The Korean ombre lip trend is reversed, with a deeper colour on the inner lip and a very light shade on the outer lip. I think it’s supposed to give off an innocent vibe, like that of someone who’s just sucked on a cherry lollipop. Neither is really my style LOL!<\/p>\n

But I know the Korean lip style is quite popular. There are any number of makeup tutorials out there teaching you how to create this look. But if you’re anything like me (read: not great at following instructions \ud83d\ude1b ) then Laneige has made the job a million times easier!<\/p>\n

Enter the Laneige Two Tone Tint Lip Bar<\/strong>, an improved version of the existing Two Tone Lip Bar. You can tell that it’s the new version by the V-shaped lip colour. Wanna see how it looks when I wear it? \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I received 3 shades in the mail, and if I’m to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t too sure how I felt about them. I mean, I wasn’t into the whole ombre lip look. I prefer a solid lip colour, and as I’ll show you below, I think I look better in it. Still, it’s just makeup right? Let’s experiment! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As the name implies, the Laneige Two Tone Tint Lip Bar is supposed to offer more of a tint of colour. However, I found that the colour (in the V-shaped portion) is pretty intense. The outer layer, despite the pretty pastel colours, is a transparent balm.<\/p>\n

The different shades therefore are formed by the actual colour in the V-shaped portion of the lipstick. I was warned that the original version was rather drying on lips, so I was a little apprehensive. However, I’m going to tell you that these are really nice and moisturising on lips.<\/p>\n

I attribute it to the balm portion, which is quite soft and emollient, and leaves my lips feeling comfortable and moisturised. What this feels like therefore, is like a balmy, moisturising lipstick. Very comfortable, so thumbs up in that area!<\/p>\n

The other thing I wasn’t sure about was the shades. I haven’t personally had many good experiences with Korean makeup because their lip colours can be a little off for me.\u00a0These however, were a pretty decent colour – nothing too strange or too warm.<\/p>\n

The Two Tone Tint Lip Bar swatches are below, swatched straight from the tube.<\/p>\n

You can see how on left, is the balm, which swatches clear. On right is the colour as contained in the V-shaped part of the lip colour. The middle, where the V cuts into the balm, is where the colours intersect and blend out and makes the ombre.<\/p>\n

The 3 shades I have are:-<\/p>\n
