This spring, Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, presents Colour Gradation to re-enchant the gradient makeup trend, a precise but intuitive technique that celebrates colour in all its splendour. Lips are enhanced with a blend of weightless shades, eyes are illuminated with vivid colour harmonies and the face is brightened with evanescent blushes.
Iridescent Eyes
Colour Gradation in Blue Gradation forms a veil of colour and a wisp of intensity on the lid with a monochromatic blend of shades. By concentrating the darker shades into the socket of the eye, you can create definition, and then bring the pale shade all the way up to the brow for intensity. Dior Addict Lip Glow in Berry on the lips is the perfect shade to finish the look and keep the eyes as the focus.

Rosy Glow
Diorblush & Diorskin Nude Air Colour Gradation go hand-in-hand to achieve a fresh and natural, flawless complexion. Begin by preparing the skin with Diorskin Forever & Ever Wear Primer, Forever Foundation, and Forever Loose Powder, before giving a glow to your complexion by applying Diorblush to the cheekbones.

Sugar Sweet Lips
Inspired by the expertise of makeup artists, Lip Sugar Scrub, was developed to exfoliate and moisturise the lips. Prepare the skin first with Diorskin Forever Foundation, and Diorskin Nude Air Colour Gradation for an illuminated finish, then with a single swipe of Lip Sugar Scrub, deliciously radiant lips are delivered, to boost any lip colour.
Springtime Nails
Spring is on its way, and with it comes the full bloom of sparkling shades of nail colour. Here the nails have been polished with the shade Maybe, an energising peach shade. Complement the nail shade with a wash of Colour Gradation in Coral over the eyes, together with well-groomed brows, using Dior Backstage Pro 3D Brow Styler.

Lip Definition
Embracing this season’s Colour Gradation, Rouge Gradient lipstick lights lips up with a shadow finish together with the art of colour blending. One end is used to apply the lighter shade as a primer, and the other adds a touch of more intense colour to the centre of the lips. Using Dior Backstage Pro Eye Reviver, with a coat of Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara on the lashes, completes the look.

Defined Eyes
By using the palest shade from the Colour Gradation palette in Blue Gradation, you can bring out the sparkle of your eyes. Simply apply to the inner corners and then along the lash line, for a glimpse of colour. Frame the look by taming brows with Dior Backstage Pro 3D Brow Styler, and coating lashes in Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara.
