Lipstick
To apply lipstick in Photoshop, we will create a “Gradient Map” adjustment layer. First, choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box. Name it “Lipstick”.
In the Blend Mode pop-up menu scroll over to “Overlay”. In the Properties panel, specify the gradient fill you want to use. By default, the shadows, midtones, and highlights of the image are mapped respectively to the starting (left) color, midpoint, and ending (right) color of the gradient fill.
Choose shadows color on the left, next choose highlights color on the right and finally we will click in the middle to add midtones color. Set location of midtones to 50% and click OK.
Click on the layer mask and invert it by pressing Command+I on Mac or Ctrl+I on Windows. Set Layer mask Feather to 10.0 px.
Choose Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options to open the Blend Mode pop‑up menu. Use Underlying Layer sliders to set the brightness range of the blended pixels - measured on a scale from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Hold down the Alt key on Windows or Option key on Mac and drag the black slider to the right to about 20. Hold down the Alt key on Windows or Option key Mac and drag the white slider to the left to about 235.
Select a soft round brush. Set the Size of the brush to 30px and Hardness to 75%. Set the opacity of the brush to 65% and flow to 10%. Using white foreground color gently paint over the lips to apply a digital lipstick effect.
