LIP ANALYSIS

For this experiment, we had to put on lipstick and press our lips against a notecard and then observe features of the lip print.








After the first part of the experiment, we then had to put the lipstick on again and make a lip print on a piece of paper along with other members of our group. After that, we rotated tables and tried to match the lip prints on the notecard with the lip prints on the piece of paper by using the defining features of each print. My entire class got 100% of the matching correct.

Lip analysis is probably the least useful form of investigation by a forensic scientist as not everyone wears lipstick or leaves lip print after they commit a crime.
