I use burnt amber mixed with natural pink on the inner lips. There are also a lot of black markings in the roof of the mouth. The upper jaw/roof I use gray and that is blended into the inner lips. The next one I shoot I'm going to make sure I get some good closeups of that inner mouth, there's a lot going on in there. Hope this helps some...
