Lip Analysis

This was a class activity where everyone had to first apply lipstick/ lip-gloss. Once we had gotten the lipstick/lip-gloss on we would press our lips onto a note card, thus leaving a lip print. After we had done this we analyzed the prints for any distinguishing characteristics. We had to find a minimal amount of 5 characteristics that made your lip print unique to that person. Then after we got into groups of three or four and placed another set of lip prints on a sheet of white printer paper. Once we did this the other groups had to try to match the prints that were on the paper with the prints that were on the note cards. From this activity I had learned how to identify different characteristics on prints, and how they made each print unique to that person.

  1. Good job Christine! This lab was fun, and you explained it really well. I thought it was really funny that lips leave a print that's individual to the person, just like fingers. Just add a picture to this (maybe of the sheet or something, or of your own little lip card) and it'll be 20% cooler!

    again, great explanation.
    maybe you could explain common attributes that would distinguish a lip; like a scar, or lip size etc
