Technical file: lips.

During this weeks technical session we focused on lips. A lip colour can change the way the whole makeup looks. When creating a look it is important that each element compliments each other, some colour lips may look a little heavy for some eye looks and vise-versa.

Health and safety for this:
Remember to wash your hands before touching your clients skin.
Make sure your client is comfortable.
Make sure you place a cape/towel on your client to avoid products dropping.

Steps to create these looks.

1. Start by looking at the clients skin tone, you may need to adjust the colour of the product to fit with the client. 
2. Take a look at the clients lips, they may need a balm if they are a little dry in order to prep the lips.
3. Next line the lips with a colour that is similar to the shade of the product you are using. 
4. be careful not to under or over line the lips too much unless this is the look you are going for.
5. Next fill the lips in with the product you want to use. 

Here is a traditional red lip.

The first was a velvet texture whereas the second was a matte texture.
