One of my favorite and most used pinks. Beautiful for lips and what I used for the first look in the tutorial. Also great for rendering clothes. I use this marker a lot!

Rich beauitful shade that channels those 90s dark lip vibes. Love this color for lips and clothing. Highly recommend.
Copic Sketch Marker - Argyle Purple RV99

Beloved shade of red, deep, rich, and moody. I used this in the third look. A go-to of mine for my PaperDolls.
Copic Sketch Marker - Dark Red R89

As the name of suggests, this is a perfect lipstick color and I think great for a natural lip as well. Used in the 4th look and one that I highly recommend if you are just starting out and building your Copic collection.

Sister to R81, and a much loved, and heavily used color for lips and clothing for my PaperDolls. A must!
