Flip ultra hack

The instrument can also be used to hold the camera facing forward with adjustable pitch and yaw for normal shots. Unfortunately I am still in the process of making an Instructable for the instrument. Here are a few stills shot with the macro lens. You may have seen similar mods with the same approx. It will require another rubber spacer, or just the other half of the toy tire from the Macro mod, duct tape, super glue or better yet: model cement, step up rings for a camera and a lens that fits the rings.

Make sure the lens you purchase is going to be what you need for your film and be sure to not spend too much. A Telephoto lens will zoom the image and make your shot closer, wide angle lens will widen the field of view'; but I will be demonstrating how a telephoto lens can be put on backwards and make a pretty decent wide angle lens in a following section..

Cleaning Flip HD There may be residue left from duct tape so to clean off the Flip HD you will need cotton balls or a regular cotton towel and isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

Apply the alcohol to a corner of the towel and rub residue off of camera face. Using a cleaner part of the towel you can clean the rest of the face to insure a strong stick for another tape application.

If you get your step up rings in a kit or with a lens then there will be different size rings. The size differences do not matter much for the Flip mod because it won't be screwing into the camera, but just so I used the smallest one, mm.

The rubber spacer, when attached to the step up ring, will allow for a tight, flush fit of the lens and the face of the Flip HD. You will need a strong plastic cement like model glue, but super glue will work with lesser assurance of durability.

A round piece of rubber or a toy car tire cut in half like the 3. Finally, a weight to hold down the step up ring while the glue dries. Working on a flat surface clean of debris and not effected by stray glue, your Flip camera or any extra lens out of the way because the glue could ruin both, will reduce the chances of messing anything up. Set the rubber spacer down flat so that the side which the lens will be attached to is facing up and the side attaching to the camera is down.

Now apply a bead of glue, it doesn't take much, around the side facing up. Place step up ring on top of spacer and press down insuring a firm hold of the glue. Set a balanced weight on top of the step up ring glued to the spacer and leave for a few hours. Spacer and Step Up Ring to Camera To complete attaching the telephoto lens to the Flip HD, you will need a hands length, quarter width strip of duct tape, the now dried rubber spacer and step up ring piece glued together previously, and the camera.

Using a toy car tire works well as a spacer because it conforms to the curved face of the Flip camera. It is important to see that the opening in the step up ring is lined up with the existing metal circle around the lens on the Flip camera. Using a mm ring it is easy to judge when it is straight by looking at it from directly above and lining up the rings.

Now hold it tight in the same position while taping a tight fit around where the rubber spacer attaches to the Flip HD. It won't take much tape if you apply it tight enough and run it through your fingers pressing on the bond. Now the Flip camera can benefit from a widened variety of possible shots.

I would absolutely go even fuller with filler if my dermatologist didn't always level-headedly temper my zealousness with her extensive understanding of facial anatomy and proportions and whatnot, so you'd think I'd be a big fan of overlining my lips as an alternative to additional injections.

But oddly enough, I've never liked how the technique looks on me. Although it's a go-to temporary lip-enlarging trick for so many makeup lovers, I haven't been able to do it in such a way that doesn't feel either cartoonish, obvious, or unflattering. It may make my lips look fuller, but it also kind of drags down the shape. I come from a family of people whose smiles eventually, naturally turn downward with age I call it the Grandma Ethel Smimace , so I'm not about to rush that process with some poorly placed pencil.

Needless to say, when makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic met up with some of us beauty editors over Zoom a few weeks ago and he mentioned his alternative technique for overlining, I was all ears. The Makeup by Mario founder explained how, by overlining only part of the lip, he mimics the look of the injectable " lip flip " trend and creates a lifted, fuller appearance without the illusion of heft.

I was genuinely intrigued, but I also didn't try it immediately. Nor did I try after seeing a number of people on social media doing — and loving — it. It wasn't until I saw someone I know, fellow Allure contributor and Gloss Angeles podcast host Kirbie Johson , do it herself on Instagram that I finally decided to give it a go. So here's how it works: Slightly overline only the Cupid's bow area of your top lip as well as the center of the bottom lip.

As for the rest, stay on your natural lip line — don't overline as you go toward the corners. Dedinovic says this technique shortens the space between your nose and lip, makes your lips look fuller, and even creates the illusion of a bit of a lift. TikToker carsynnlovee made a video showing how does the technique using the new Makeup by Mario lip pencils and lipsticks. Of course, you can also use any products you have around.

Then, instead of following the rest of the lip line, which can drag lips downward, line in a little bit towards the inside of your mouth. Do a similar thing on the bottom by overlining the center of the bottom lip line then extending the liner upwards towards the outer corners of the mouth, moving the liner inside the lip line.

Diffuse and blend as you would normally.
