I really don't get why one would add a gradient to an edit.
@Dokzai: Your palette needs more contrast. The two brightest skintones are in my opinion too close to each other. That's also a reason why your AA looks so jaggy, because its gamma is so low. Also I don't think the hue-shift to a blue-ish brightest tone works, as normally one would hue shift to a warmer brightest tone, since in most natural situations the light source isn't neutral white or even colder than neutral white, but warmer.
