The first things that I am going to review, as the title suggests, are the Pout Paints.
Texture/Finish
These are a weird consistency, a bit like paint one might say. Oh, surprising that. In the shop I did try this on my hand using my finger and it stained like crazy. It's rather difficult to use with your fingers, like I would do with a typical lip balm, so I suggest using a lip brush and painting it on your lips, in very much the same way as you would paint a picture.
Once you do that, it gives a lovely, glossy and very pigmented finish. It does have an ever so slightly sticky finish though, which I'm not a massive fan of.
Colour
They had quite an array of colours at my local (mini) superdrug. I went for a bold and a neutral, 159 Port and 161 Minx respectively.
Minx is a really easy shade to wear, being a light pink with a hint of peach. I can tell I'm going to get a lot of wear out of this, especially over the summer. I have lots of little floral dresses that this shade would complete nicely.
And now in the context of ma face. Nice.
Port is a dark red colour with a hint of purple, though in the tube it looks a lot more purple than it actually is.
Annnnnnd another unflattering picture of me looking like I've seen a ghost in my red lippie.
Have you tried the pout paints? What do you think of them?
I've not tried them, and now I know they are sticky, I probably won't :(

I have minx and love it. I sold port as it was too much of a faff to put on but they do have amazing lasting power and nice texture. x
ReplyDeleteLove the Minx on you!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would like this paint texture on my lips :(

I love the idea of these, you could get some really funky colours if you mix them. Had my eye on a few Sleek products for a while now, they're definitely getting better and better! xx
ReplyDeleteI really don't like when lipstick, gloss, etc. is sticky. But the shades sure are pretty on you. I have never heard of these before.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this brand, but I don't know if we have it here in Canada. I would love to try these paints. Both colours look great on you.:)
ReplyDeleteOh I've never really heard of these, but I'd really like to try them. They all look lovely on you.
