Take two bright neon colours- Pink and Orange. The trick is to colour the lip with one colour and ombre out with the other. You can choose any one you like. Once you are one lining and colouring your lip with one colour, take the other and dab on the inner side of the lips (Just like the picture). The second colour should radiate out from the middle of the lips. When you are done, just roll your lips together for the blending touches.
