I've recently been asked about touching up eyes, lips, etc on amateur photos for moneys. I don't have any desire to actually put any real effort into this, as the pictures tend to be of a low quality and there's a hell of a lot of them, so I was wondering if there was a make up plugin, somewhat like portrait professional but for adding eye liner, eye shadow, lipstick, or whatever...
Anything along these lines?

So let me get this right.. you're getting paid to do something you'd rather not & in doing so aren't putting any real effort in?

I hope your client isn't reading this.
Just my thoughts ~ MR
Cheers for your answer, it was extremely helpful.
Are you just going to judge or give a link to something? It's not rocket science, I don't want to really do these pics because they will in no way help my port. They are just small photos being taken on a point and shoot and a friend is begging me to put some make up on them. And yes she knows that I don't actually want to do it.

At least you tried! Thanks.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong area, maybe there's a make up template or something, or a place where you can find different types of eye shadowing already done
I wouldn't try finding a plugin for it. You can do it really fast a few different ways. Try masking in a hue/saturation layer (possibly set to colorize) or a color balance layer, and then feather the layer mask heavily enough to spread it smoothly. You could also use the brush tool on a new layer, and try different layer blend modes such as hue or color -- or set the brush to those modes instead. Blur the layer to spread the makeup, just like with feathering the mask.
It sounds time consuming, but seriously it isn't. The trick is knowing how makeup is applied: put a blob on and then spread it around. Same concept in photoshop... mask or paint in an effect, and then feather or blur it.
Easy If that doesn't make sense though, let me know.

Actually that makes a lot of sense and I'm very glad you saw my post! I know nothing about applying make up and probably should learn to help me. I will try now what you advised on a photo. Cheers!
