BellaMorte, that's a good idea - similar to what I do. For items that are on top of other items (lips). Make seperate texture maps (save them individually) and then load them into photoshop or psp as seperate layers. Sometimes I even select the white parts and use the "clear" function so that there are lines with transparency between them. You can then overlay these on top of the map you're working with. :)
