Lips.

During our session with Fenella, we looked at creating a range of lip looks. The looks that we were to create included:

• Nude Lip
• Red, Statement Lip
• Smudged Lip
• Creative Lip

 I really enjoyed this session, as we were able to experiment with colours that we would not necessarily use on ourselves. It was also very beneficial being able to work on other student's lips, as everyone has different shapes.
Here is a range of images that I have taken from the session:

To create this look I used the Kryolan Lip Palette, and mixed together a nude tone to match Lucy's skin. I particularly liked this natural look, as it is slightly glossy, giving the lips a healthy shine but not too unnatural. I used a precision brush to help line the lips to give them shape.

 This is the bold, statement red lip look that I have created. I used the MAC Red LipMix, mixed with a darker shade of red from the Kryolan Palette. Sometimes this colour can clash with the skin tone, but as Lucy has some warmth to her skin, it does not. I lined the lips using a lip pencil, however I feel I have gone over the lip shape.

To create this smudged look effect, I used the lip palette from Kryolan in a dark berry red. I used my finger to tap the colour into the lips which gave them a stained effect, rather than the colour looking as if it had been painted on. I really like this effect as it is not very outrageous but feminine at the same time.

 For this look, I used the above look as a base. I then worked into the corners of the lips to create an ombre effect, using a dark purple tone mixed by using blue and red. I particularly liked this style of lips as it is bold and adventurous.

 Here I have once again used the above image as a basis for this look. This look is very similar to the other, however I layered gloss onto this look to make it more bold, and luxurious. I enjoyed seeing the difference between a more matte look compared to a dewy look, especially when using the same colour.

Here is the final look from the session. For this, I used the above image as a base for this look. I used the gloss as a glue to stick the glitter onto the lips evenly. I really like this effect, as it is something you would see on a catwalk rather than a magazine. It is much more of a outrageous look, not so much an everyday.
