How to perfect Lipstick – Photoshop Tutorial

I love strong, colorful lipstick! It makes a photo so much more interesting and gives it a big pop of color. Having said that, a perfect lipstick is very hard to create. Of course the more you practice the better you’ll get, but no Make-up Artist can make lipstick absolutely perfect – especially for closeups. Because we can go into such detail and zoom in that close, it’s actually fairly easy to fix the lipstick in post processing.

You can achieve this look and finish by using the clone stamp and some other basic Photoshop tools. Sample from a more colorful part of the lip, and fill the edges or lighter patches in by brushing over them. Watch the video below for a full tutorial!
