Putting lipstick on bare lips in Photoshop CS2.
Click the image for full size.
Tips- Do not try to paint on the color with the brush, airbrush tool. Thats super tedious and inaccurate. It will turn out splotchy, uneven, too dark, fake looking and go past the edges of the lips.
- Use any one or all of the lasso and marquee tools to select the lips. This takes no skill and you can visually see how accurate you are lining the lips.
- Adjusting the hue will make the color of the lips change evenly and naturally. Giving the appearance of flawlessly applied lipstick. Use the CTRL + U command to bring up that window and slide the hue slider around until you find a color you like. If you would like the color to be more bold increase the saturation while in that same hue window.
- The dodge tool will give a nice shine and the burn tool will darken the shadows in a natural way. You will have to play with these until you get the look you like. Don't overdo it or it will start to look fake.
There are many ways to achieve this look but I think this is the easiest way and anyone can do it.
I know the image is really simple and I don't show you where the tools you need are located and what settings to have them at. If you play around with it and can't get it to look right just let me know with a comment or message and I will go more in dept with you and help you figure out what you are missing.
I'd like to offer video tutorials in the future to show very clearly and quickly what tools to use and how to use them. If anyone has any suggestions for recording software let me know. I know there are many options out there like fraps but which ones are less laggy, better preforming and less costly =)
Thanks for reading. Hope you get something out of this.
