Fixing cracked lips & dull teeth?

[Harvey_nikon]

Hi all,

Just going over some photos and noticed that in a few the bride has some dull teeth as well as some dried & cracked lips. Hot day and it looks like either the lips or the lipstick has dried out.

Can anyone suggest ways of touching them up without them looking over done? or point me towards some guides?

Harvey,

Would have to see them but would be happy to have a look. Can you upload a full sized picture to a location and let me have the location.

Without seeing the image, I'd be inclined to suggest clone stamp with the mode set to either lighten or darken accordingly.

You may also be able to resolve it with dodge and burn which is less destructive (although the cloning should be on a separate layer anyway)

You can also add a little "wetness" to the lips with a little white being brushed on.
