searching for images
how can I find my perfect image?
From the homepage, either type in the keyword(s) which best describes what you are looking for or click on Stills or Gif to reveal the following categories from which you can perform a category search. A category search will give you a wider search return than a keyword search. You can amend or refine your search at any time as the search function is displayed on each page.
category search:
You can choose from the following categories: beauty science, body, close up, eyes, face, fitness and wellbeing, hair, hands and feet, lips, make-up, nutrition, older, skincare, still life, summer, latest.
keyword search:
Please enter single words which best describes what you are looking for separated by a space.
The spaces will be interpreted as an ‘AND’ command eg. ‘eye AND mascara AND application’. You can refine this and narrow your search at any time by adding another keyword in the search box. If the keywords you enter produce no results, a message will display the number of images containing each of your chosen keyword eg “We found 250 images for ‘eye’, we found 10 images for ‘mascara’, and we found 150 images for ‘application”. You can then click on your most important keyword and it will return those results.
search return:
When you perform a keyword search, it will return both still images and gifs. The number of each will be displayed in the top navigation bar.
can I view more/less than 50 images per page?
Yes. Both in the top navigation bar and at the bottom of each page there is an option to increase or decrease the number of images displayed. The maximum is 200 per page.
what if I know the image no?
You can type this in to the keyword search box and you will be taken directly to that image.
are similar images available?
In order to offer a more bespoke image service, you can access a number of alternative frames from most images. Click on ‘enlarge image’ under your chosen picture and this will automatically display any alternative frames from that shot together with the enlarged image. You can enlarge any of the alternative frames, by simply clicking on your selected shot. You will need to be logged in to access this function.
do you have more images featuring the same model?
We understand that the model is crucial to the brand or that you may want a number of images of the same model for a feature so we offer the facility to pull together all images we have of a specific model by first, enlarge the image, then either clicking on ‘this model features in XX images, click here to view’ or click on ‘view production’ and voila!
I can’t find what I’m looking for?

multiple board function
what is a board?
A board is an area where you can store a select group of images to review or send to a client or colleague for their info/comments. You can create multiple boards to deal with the variety of projects you may be working on at any one time. These can be saved for an indefinite period of time or deleted as you finish with them. You will need to be logged in to use the ‘board’ function.
how do I create my first board?
When you ‘hover’ over an image you like, the option
to ‘add to board’ will appear. You will be prompted to login if you haven’t already done so. A board will be displayed featuring your chosen image and you can give it a name in the ‘create new board’ input box. Click on ‘go’ and the screen will refresh displaying your newly ‘named’ board as your ‘active board’.
how do I manage multiple boards?
Each image you select will be added to your ‘active board’ so ensure that you select the correct board before adding an image. Then you can flick between boards adding images.
I would like to share my board.
You can email your board together with a message. The email function is located at the bottom of the board.
how do I move easily between my search and adding images to my board?
Click on the red ‘back to search’ or ‘back to images’ button, positioned top right of your board
ordering images
how can I find out the price of an image?
The price is calculated according to your intended use. You can get a quote for either a specific license: governed by exposure, size, territory, whether the use is editorial or commercial and duration or a broad license: unlimited use governed only by duration. Either fill in the ‘order enquiry’ form
which you can click on after enlarging your chosen image or contact Lara at
team@urbanlip.com and we’ll supply you with a speedy quote based on your requirements.

team@urbanlip.com with the image number.
how do I pay?
We will invoice you for any agreed fees. Our payment terms are 30 days. In certain circumstances we may require payment via bank transfer before a high resolution image is delivered. Please note that you do not have any usage rights to your chosen image until payment is made in full and if payment is not made you would be infringing copyright.
