The 3-Lipstick Hack: Layering for Events, Not Just Texture
Lipstick Layering Tips and Event Lip Combos: The 3-Lipstick Hack for 2025
Lipstick layering tips and event lip combos are all the rage right now, and for good reason. If you’re tired of flat, single-shade lips and want to step up your event glam, you’re in the right place. We’re talking day to night lip layers, liner underdrawings, and how colour theory can make your lips pop. Plus, Admigos brings these lipstick transitions to life for brand launches and events.
Why Layering Works for Every Event (And Skin Tone!)
Layering isn’t just about using more product, it’s about dimension and longevity.
- Day to Night Flex: Start with a soft pink or coral for the day, then deepen with a berry or red for night.
- Skin Tone Magic: Layering lets you mix warm and cool shades, creating a custom look that suits any skin tone.
- Event-Proof: From brunch to after-parties, layered lips are the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
Shades of Lipstick for layering
Day to Night Lip Layers: All-Day Drama
The go-to routine for lips that last:
- Hydrate First: Start with a hydrating balm to prevent flakiness, think of it as primer for your pout.
- Light Shade Base: Choose a peachy nude or soft rose as your daytime base.
- Night-Ready Boost: Amp up the drama at night by dabbing on a richer shade—like vampy plum or fiery red—over your base.
✨ Pro Tip: Admigos animates these transitions to show how brands can highlight dual-finish lips for launches. See it in action on their THRVE page!
The Power of Underdrawing with Liner
One of the best lipstick layering tips is underdrawings, lining just outside your natural lip line for a fuller effect.
- Step 1: Trace the outline with a neutral or slightly darker liner.
- Step 2: Feather the liner inward to avoid harsh edges.
- Step 3: Apply your lipstick layers on top for a smooth, plump look.
This not only amps up the dimension but also helps your lipstick stay put for hours—crucial when you’re hopping from event to event!
Tone Play and Color Theory: The Secret Sauce
Understanding tone play can take your lip layering from basic to bomb.
- Warm Undertones? Coral, peach, or brick reds add warmth and glow.
- Cool Undertones? Plums, berries, and blue-based reds bring out your natural coolness.
- Neutral Undertones? Lucky you—almost any shade works!
