LIPS
It’s easy to carry an extensive selection of lipsticks, because slices can be arranged in a palette. Using lipstick is the quickest and easiest way to change both a
model’s face and the feel of a photograph. In addition to the everyday colors, I like to keep an array of more unusual lip colors as well as other creamy pigments
from the color wheel. It’s amazing what a black lipstick does.
At least twenty different shades in a wide range of colors. These can be mixed to create dozens more. Essential colors include pale beige, pale pink, light
orange, bright pink, bright orange, bright red, deep red, deep wine
At least ten shimmery lipsticks in a wide range of colors
At least ten lip glosses in a wide range of colors
At least ten lip pencils in a wide range of colors
A cream-based color wheel for blending
