Let's retouch the lipstick for this model. Open the easy-to-use plugin panel for this action by going to Window > Extensions > Magic Retouch Pro.

Click on Digital Makeup, then Lipstick. 

Click to Create a Lipstick Layer then set a nice red color as your Foreground Color using the Color Picker.

Paint the new color onto the lips, adjusting the value for the Lipstick Intensity to one you prefer. Then explore the rest of the panel for more retouching options. That's it!
