I can't get the lips to look like baby lips

I can't get the lips to look like baby lips

When I do the lips they always darken more than I want after it is baked.Is my paint old or not mixed right. I have the second Secrist video that I use every time.

Try mixing a little glazing gel with your lip color to create a more natural lip color.

lips

Hi,
If you are using the genesis paints and they are coming out too dark.
Make sure you have the paints thinned way down to a watery consistency and dab your brush to get the excess Paint off and then apply a thin layer at a time.
If you let the paint sit a little while and dry before you bake you can get an idea of what the color will be.
Lips can be hard.

Just the opposite

That's interesting for sure. My babies lips always seem to turn out too pale. When I FINALLY got a good color I liked I was careful to note the exact amounts of what colors I used to achieve it and then saved a whole lot of it in one of the paint storage jars. Now my babies lips are always just perfect.

I was wondering what that glazing stuff was for. LOL
