Hey guys, I'd be greatful for any of your responses on this especially if you have experience in this exact thing before.  I want to imitate lipstick kisses on the skin (face) for a shoot, and obviously want them to be as realistic looking as possible.  Now I know the most simple answer to this is someone kisses the model but a. That's unprofessional and awkward b. Unhygienic and unprofessional for that very reason again.

I also wanted there to be alot of kisses. Not just one or two.

I feel hand painting them won't give that realism, and as I've seen it done in shoots I'm wondering how they do it, does someone actually kiss the models? Bizarre question i know, but we have a bizarre job. Lol.

Thank you

I would buy some green lipstick and kiss my girlfriend once on each side or multiple times. Stand back to the distance of the shots in camera or on disk and using the same lens & lighting, I would shoot her from similar angles to my model. Then I'd make a mask of those green lipstick marks and change them to whatever color I like and apply them in post to whatever faces I want.

Rubber stamp(s) -- should be able to perfect the application technique in a minute or three. (roll a sponge over some of them)
                (possibly remount the rubber on a curved block)

I was also going to suggest rubber stamps... using either body paint or something like OCC's Lip Tar...
