Technical Session: Lips

During this technical session with Fenella we looked at creating different types of lips. Lips has always been something that I find the hardest just because if i concentrate too hard I get shaky hands! No other part of doing a make-up do I get shaky hands apart from the lips! Anyway full well knowing this was something that I had to work on I went full throttle into this lesson. From previous lessons when I had worked with my peer Jasmine I knew her lips were one of the hardest I had ever had fill in and draw as they are quite thin. But knowing this I went and used her lips to try and conquer them once and for all! 

Firstly we had to do a nude lip and perfect this. I started by taking a peachy colour as I thought this would suit Jas's skin tone, I was correct. I tried to make them seem a little fuller on top as this is the area Jasmine was most concerned about. I also brought the lowest part of the bottom lip down a little just to make it seem plumper. I feel like the bottom lip is slightly off but apart from that I am happy with this application. 

Moving on we had to create a red lip and this seems to be the most difficult lip for me because of the pigment in the lipstick it is hard to clean up any mistakes. I created a very full glossy pout something that I have seen many times on the catwalk shows so this could be practice for when I create my looks.  I again filled in the personal problems Jasmine has with her lips and the added what I wanted. 

 Overall I am happy with this outcome, I know I need a lot more practice but I know that this will come with time and possibly one day I will have perfected it!
