The technique is applied to hair, nails and also in makeup is to create a smoky effect between two layers of color, a lighter and other darker, resulting in a gradient. The correct is when you do not know where to begin or where they end these two layers of colors.

You can apply the technique according to your preference. Subtle and delicate way, creating soft layers or choosing more neutral colors, or can produce striking and bold lips are artistic lips, like a carnival makeup.

The step-by-step is much simpler than you imagine, what will make the difference is the force you apply the brush, let the lighter hands, and build layers, making a step at a time.
