Photoshop Tutorial: How to apply lipstick the easy way

Do you appear to be pale in your photos? Want to add some color on it? Be it orange, pink, red, your lips can look naturally beautiful if you follow these simple steps. I'm going to use Taylor Swift's no make-up photo.
This tutorial is intended for the Photoshop dummies, so I'm sure you can make it whatever version of Photoshop you may be using.

Step 1. You need to create a new layer which will be used for the lip color and the adjustments to be applied on it. The create new layer button is found on the bottom right corner of the window, as shown in the photo below. Now you have Layer 1 above the background layer.

Step 2. From the color palette, choose the color you would like to apply on your lips. I choose Pure Magenta Red. Click on your chosen color and choose a soft brush and brush it on your lips. Don't worry about the sides, we'll deal with that later. Make sure Layer 1 is selected when doing this! After doing so, your lips would like this in the photo.

3. Now we need to make it look natural. We'll have to change the blend mode to Soft Light and the opacity to anything as you wish. Mine is at 81%. If you want to get rid of excess colors at the sides of the lips, use the eraser tool still having the soft brush selected and erase the parts you want to get rid of.
