Lipstick Trials:

During the Critique session Sharon mentioned that she didn't really like the whole smudged lipstick technique. She said that it could look poorly done and spoil the look. I remember looking down sheepishly at some of my designs that were sporting a smudged lip.

 I thought I'd give it ago anyway, just to see if there was way of making it look good

 Here are my results:

I went back to the drawing board. I didn't want to go with a full lip colour because I thought it would be overkill.

 Looking at Pinterest and Instagram I knew that 'Ombre' Lips were a massive trend. When I started to play about with my facecharts again, I started from the middle of the lip and I blended the colour out. I was actually really happy with how this looked with an incomplete look. It's just a smudge of colour on the lips and it made me think of a reversed Tudor Rose.

 BINGO. This is what I'm going to work with

 I found the Kryolan lip colours to lack the pigment I needed. So I switched out to Mac. The lipstick I chose in the end was the Viva La Glam Matte Red. 

 I've tried it out with different shades of red:

Cherry Pop- Color Pop Sensations: NO. Too translucent 
Kryolan Lip Palette. I used every single Red/ Berry colour in this.
From the Lip Palette. Not pigmented enough,

I used a brush to smudge it out instead of my fingers. I prefer this, but I'm still not happy with the overall look.


Nailed it.
