Step 1
We are going to slightly change or fix the lip colour. You must have Photoshop installed in your Window. The very first step is to open Photoshop on your Window and select the image in which you want to bring a change. This step is simply done by clicking on the “File” menu. Now, click on the file or image that needs to be edited.
Note one thing that if you are selecting an image with no lipstick or want to totally change the color of your lips, you will have to do some additional editing. For this purpose, you have to set hue/saturation adjustments from adjustment layer.
Step 2
In the second step, you have to search for the “New Layer Adjustment” tool. This tool is present on the lower right side of Your Window. Click on that tool and you will get a pop-up menu. From here choose the “Select/solid color” option. There will be shown a list of colors. Select anyone that is related to your original realistic lipstick shade. Drag that color on your image. The entire image will get colored.
Step 3
Blend modes give you different shades of color to create dark or light shades. By clicking on the blend modes, you will get some options. Select “multiply” that will put color on your image. Increase or decrease the intensity of colors accordingly. If you want to have a darker shade of the same color, you can also drag the cursor multiple times at the same spot.
Step 4
In this step, add adjustment layers mask from “Selective Color” to your image by pressing “Ctrl+I”. It will mask the color you applied before. This mask option has two colors that are black and white which hide the other colors.
Step 5
Now, get a brush from the Brush Tool. Its icon is capital B. Make sure that your brush is according to the requirement. The adjustments of the brush are made through the Options bar. Use a brush with soft edges because if you use a hard brush it shows fakeness by creating hard edges.
The hardness of the brush must be zero while applying shades on the lower lip.
It is very important to zoom in on your picture that shows clear and minor details. It helps you with your perfect editing and change in lips color.
If your painting goes beyond lips, just click on the mask option and select black color. when the black color will be masked, white will appear and drag the brush over the area where unnecessary paint has done. The extra mark beyond the needed lines will be removed.
I need to mention here a very important thing that does not try to fix lips color on both the lips together. First, edit one lip and then another but remember the settings of blend modes and percentage of shades because it will avoid the difference in lips’ color. When you do the inner edge of the lips, decrease the size of your brush. It will increase the hardness of the brush which is needed here.
If increasing hardness does not allow your upper lip to be perfect without blending areas, click on the mask option and select black. Then drag the cursor on the outer lip line and remove the blended areas.
Step 6
After applying the color, set the shades of the color. Double click right and you will get a menu of shades. Drag the slider of the underlying layer to decrease the shade and add shine to the color. Your lip will get a lighter shade.
Some of the parts will show white and bright. This is done because blending shades makes an image more natural. If you do not adjust these settings, the lips will look dry and rough which shows unprofessional editing.
Step 7
Now darken the outer layer of the lip by clicking on the Opacity. It will create an outline to your lip that is generally done by girls. Now, do upper lip editing. It is almost similar but you need to slightly harden your brush because the upper lip does not need to be blended much. So, both lips are edited separately.
Now, you are done with changing lip colour and you can also change the shade by setting Opacity like if you don’t want dark shade. If men do editing for their lips, they need natural color for their lips. Photoshop helps them put a natural color of lips.
To change, edit, or fix the color of lips, one must need to be good with color blendings, blending mode and the use of a brush. These are the main things and if you are dull with them, you cannot get a perfect change in lip colour.
