Tech File: Lips

Products & Equipment required:


·        Kryolan Lip Palette
·        MAC Red Pencil
·        Lip brush
·        Lip balm/ Carmex

Method:

1.      If the model has dry lips, you may wish to exfoliate prior to make-up application
2.      To hydrate the lips and provide a good base, apply some Carmex to the model’s lips
3.      When applying the lip liner, have your model angle her head in accordance to the direction you are drawing
4.      Begin on the upper lip from the inner corner to the cupids bow
5.      Do not take your pencil off the lips, use small back and forth motions to ensure a neat line
6.      Line the cupids bow (the angle of the brush is perfect for this)
7.      Draw a line from the centre of the cupids bow to the bottom lip and use this point to begin lining the bottom lip
8.      Draw dots on the bottom lip from the centre to the outer edges and then join them
9.      Apply your selected lip colour within this lines, have your model open her mouth wide to ensure you’ve covered all of the lip


Notes:
·         Choose a lip colour that is slightly lighter than the lip liner  
·        To achieve a matte lip effect, press on powder
·        You can create a 3D effect by applying lip gloss on the centre of the bottom lip and the cupids bow

·        If working with different shades of a colour, put the darker tone in the corner
