This is something I've been wanting to shoot for a while. I love lips, especially with red lipstick because the color is so great and really defines the shape. The peppermint was added for a more interesting composition and the colors matched well. It was shot in the studio with a Canon 5D, 50mm macro lens. Exposure was 1/200 @ f/32. Photoshop used only for color to make the reds really pop and spotting.

This is how the lights were set up. Two Broncolor strobes to the side for an even look while bringing out the highlights in the lipgloss. Yes, that's me with half my face painted white and a mint in my teeth. I photographed my own lips for this one.
