  • STEP 1:

    Prep Your Lips

    The foundation of any stunning lip look is a smooth, even surface. Start by exfoliating your lips with a lip scrub. We like the NYX Professional Makeup #ThisIsEverything Lip Scrub to remove any dry skin and prep the lips. Follow up with a nourishing balm.


  • STEP 2:

    Apply Your Lipstick

    Apply a base coat of a smooth matte lipstick like the L’Oréal Paris Les Nus Lipstick. Go back over your lips for a second coat if needed to make sure the color pops.


  • STEP 3:

    Add Your Gloss

    Finish off your gradient lip look by applying NYX Professional Makeup This Is Milky Gloss on just the center of the lips. Dab on the gloss and purse your lips together to blend it into the lipstick. Just don’t rub your lips together as it could smear the color.
