Lips - Technical File

Equipment:-

• Cleanser
• Kryolan lip pallet
• Foundation/Concealer
• Lip pencil
• Lip brush
• Cotton pads
• Cotton buds
• Sharpener

Step by step:-

• Cleanse over the lips to remove all product using cotton pads
• Sharpen the lip pencil so you are able to get a defined line around the lip
• Apply foundation or concealer to the lip first to help saturate the lip liner's colour
• Trace the outer edge of the natural lip line with the pencil to create a border
• Using a lip brush apply the lipstick making sure to blend the lip liner into the lipstick and cover the whole lip
• If any lipstick escaped the natural lines of the mouth then erase it with a brush or cotton bud that has been dabbed in concealer

In this lesson we were told to create three different lip looks, one darker lip, one natural lip and a lip colour of our own choice. Below shows my outcome of my lip applications. For the darker lip I used a red lip liner to define the lip and then a pinky red lipstick for the lips using a darker shade of red on the outer sides of the lip giving it a two toned look. For the natural lip I just used a natural pale pink lip liner to define the lip and a natural shade of pink for the lipstick. For my own choice of lip I went for a brown light brown lip liner, a slightly darker golden brown lipstick and finished it with a gold shimmery gloss over the top giving it a shiny bronzed look. Overall I was happy with all three of my final lip applications and I feel I had a great model to work with as her lips were nice and plump.
