How to put make up in Adobe photoshop

As I made a blog about myself, I stated that I love editing in adobe and
this was my first attempt to do putting make up in adobe. This phase of adobe is the most trickiest of all. You need a lot of patience and trial and error. Specially changing the color of the hair and the color of the eyes.

This is my little tutorial.


First, choose a picture that is easily to edit


Zoom in your chosen pic by zoom tool

Use the dodge tool to highlight your under eye, it will serve as your concealer, you can use blur tool to get rid freckles and pimples.

To put a lipstick, click "new layer" in the layer window that you will found in the lower part of your window for the layer you will use. Use the magnetic lasso tool to trace your lips.



Right click within the area of the traced lips to fill your desire color.

To lighten the color right-click the layer number in the layer window, click blending option.
You will see the opacity meter, choose your desire percent of opacity.

tadah!

You will see the changes in the lips, I'm sorry that I didn't print screen the tutorials for blush on and eye shadows.


This is a trial only, if I will do a photoshop tutorial or not. Feedbacks will do help me to decide.

go go go ladies!!!

I got my FIRST 3 blog award! and I tagged my two mommies

This last summer is my not so happy days of my entire life, why? I got my ankle broke for two months and not able to go outside a lot except if its very important. So I decided to make something more reasonable and productivity things on the web. So, my idea to join in Blogspot is from my Mommy Iris and Mommy Razz, I think writing blog can develop my 2nd language "ENGLISH!" I'm not that pro in the sense that I am really trying hard to perfect my grammar. "Practice makes perfect"

So I'm very glad that * Makeup and Random Ramble *
tagged me and have this award, thanks sis!
