1. 2. Design Draft Creation and Display:

• • Participants must prepare a design draft for the gradient lips in advance and display it on their workstation during the competition for judges’ reference. The design draft must include complete designs for both the upper and lower lips, with clearly marked gradient areas, color transitions, and detailed annotations.

1. 3. On-Site Completion of Lower Lip:

• • Participants must execute the gradient lips design on the lower lip area of the silicone practice skin during the competition. The lower lip design must match the upper lip in terms of color transition, depth, and overall style.

(2) Competition Time
