Gradient Lips

I found this fun to do! Looks interesting too and a nice change from a plain one coloured lip. Even though its more of an  editorial  type of look I'm sure some of you would try this out.

Took pics in various lights to get the best result of different colours. 

First pic is of my lips before starting off, rest of steps are shown at every stage :)

Step 1

Line lips with a dark plum or deep purple lipliner and shade in the inner corners with it also.

Step 2 

Add a light blue toned bubblegum pink lipstick to the centre of the lips only.  Do not go as far as the dark outline from before. 

Step 3 

Add a dark brown lipliner to the outer corners of the mouth to darken further. The remainder space between the dark and the light is where the next colour is applied. Apply hot pink lipstick in the remaining free space left. Apply carefully with a lip brush, and blend harsh edges together. Blend outwards using lip brush from the lightest color in the centre. Take extra care not to over blend the colours so that they all become one. 

Step 4

Complete the lips by dabbing on some light gold powder pigment on the centre of the lips.  A shimmery champagne gold eyeshadow will do the trick too! 

Voila!  Finished Look :)
