- In this example,
we are going to create,
and save a lip color brush.
So the first thing I'd like to do is activate my brush tool,
and we can use a hot key on the keyboard to do that,
which is K.
So that's going to immediately activate the masking
but it's also going to tell Lightroom
that I want to use the brush tool
in order to make this mask.
So now we're going to make a couple of adjustments
to make a lip color punch type of brush,
and I'm going to make some adjustments
to the tan,
and I'm going to just increase that.
I'm also going to increase the tint to make it just
a little bit more pink and color.
Now, I'm going to just increase the saturation
of the lips
because some lip colors,
they look great in-person
but they just do not show up on the camera
the right way.
So let's go ahead,
and just increase that saturation.
Usually this happens with like shimmery
lip colors, for example.
So now that we have our sliders set,
let's go ahead,
and increase the flow a little bit.
We've got a small brush that's soft.
We've got a soft edge around that brush.
And so now we can go ahead,
and paint in this effect over the lips.
And you should be able to see it
start to be visible here.
If at any point you want to see where exactly
you're brushing in,
you can hit the O key on your keyboard,
which is going to activate your brush overlay.
And remember, we changed that color
to purple earlier in this course.
So it's not going to look like red,
for example from your default.
So that looks good, right?
We've been able to paint the accentuated
lip color over the lips,
and we're happy with the way this brush looks.
Since we've created this custom modification
of this brush,
what we can do now is we can choose to save this
for future use.
And the way you're going to do that
is by coming to right next to the word effect
under your brush,
you'll see the word custom
because you've made custom changes
or modifications.
And then it's very hard to see this guys
so I'm going to zoom in.
You'll see these two little up and down arrows.
You can either click on the word custom
or you can click on the arrows,
but what that's going to do is open up
a list of different brush presets.
Now, your list will not be as long as mine.
I have over a hundred custom brushes
that I use frequently
whenever I'm retouching in Lightroom.
And, but down here at the bottom,
you will have these two options.
You'll have the option to save current settings
as a new preset,
and you can go ahead and click that.
And then it's going to ask you,
well, what exactly do you want to name
this preset?
So let's call this lip
(keyboard typing)
color punch.
So there we go.
There is our lip color punch brush.
And if we go ahead and come over
to the word effect,
and we click on it,
you can see that our lip color punch brush
has been added to our custom brush list.
So that's how we can save it,
and use it for the future
whenever we do have another example
of needing to be able to accentuate
that lip color,
and make it look better in camera.
