Hi guys.  I'm hoping you can help me here.  I have a shoot coming up where I need super glossy lips like this (not my photo): https://www.gocitygirl.com/FashionImages/1_thumbnailthurs.jpg

However, all of the products I've seen are from the US, but I live and work in a country where we can basically only get French products.

Does anyone know of French branded products that will produce the same results?

Thank you in advance.

Gorgeous close up. Tunisia is a beautiful country, having traveled there 3 times already (Mahdia). For super glossy lips you can use the clear Lip Tar from OCC, vaseline or what I have also heard Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. I am sure you can get any of these products online.

As DanielaHickson mentioned... Online is a viable option... for this look I've had much success with MAC GLOSS BRILLANT... This is one MAC product that is always in my kit... but be careful with it since it's rather sticky and attracts hair like a magnet... it's not a good choice if you're using a fan etc... 

Now the not so good news... in the concept image you posted the final result was likely achieved in Photoshop using the Plastic Wrap Filter...  It's under Filters, Artistic...  This is not an easy filter to master, without investing a significant amount of time one's results will look like a train wreck....  you'll need to selectively mask the effect to achieve excellence...

btw, might visit the Retouching Forum and share this concept image...
They are typically very good about sharing their tenured wisdom...

Hope this helps...
