Ever looked in your closet and thought you had nothing to wear? Well, we can say the same about makeup. No matter how many eyeshadow palettes, foundations and lipsticks we buy, there are days we just can’t find the right shade to match our mood. Should we wear coral lips or a nude pink? Why not both? With two-tone lipsticks, it’s possible!
Two-tone lipsticks have been a trend in recent years, especially for K-beauty aficionados. They’re commonly used for doing a gradient or ombre lip color look or if you’re just too lazy to put on lip liner. Whether you’re going for a soft lip or want to contour your lips, two-tone lipsticks are a must-try. Here are some of our favorites that you can add to your collection, including one triple-tone lipstick.
