Posing advice: Lips

So lips, eh? Surely you can't do anything with them, I mean they are so small anyway, right? Well wrong, you can pose your lips! As normal with this type of advice, photos all have the same sizing, lighting and processing, only posing differs shot to shot.

Lips then, want to make them fuller and more alluring? Easy!

First up these are normal un-posed lips

Next we have one simple addition, breath through your mouth.

Just breathing through your mouth parts your lips slightly and in a natural way.  It also makes both the top and bottom lip look fuller because they are not pressed together.  

 

This should help immediately, but what if you have a problem lip? Top or bottom?

 

Look at these two examples:  See how the first model has a small top lip and the second has the opposite problem?

How do you go about fixing this? Well, first you need to know that these are both the same model.  So how was she able to make her lips look so different in two photos mere seconds apart? Posing! I teach all types of posing to models, photographers and normal people just like you!

If you want to make the most of your lips without resorting to surgery or lip fillers book a private lesson with me on zoom and I can give you a 1 to 1 consultation on your lips and what you should do with them to make them look great. Remember I am a qualified makeup artist too! So it might be posing advice, lipstick recommendations or something else but regardless it’s personally tailored to you in your very own private one to one advice session. Just purchase a private lesson here and I’ll get in touch to arrange a date and time that is convenient to use both. Before the session find a good place to do the zoom call as I will need to see your lips clearly to give you great advice.
