Happy Tuesday everyone,

When walking through the makeup aisle I often see this shade of blue lipstick. It catches my eye because it is an attractive color in my eyes but I never give it further thought because blue is a very out-there color for lip products. I have never seen anyone wear blues or purples on their lips in real life. Models in magazines or on cat-walks, sure, but never your average human in the produce aisle of the grocery store trying to figure out which watermelon is ripe.

So I have never bought this lipstick even though it catches my eye for a moment every time I'm in the makeup aisle. Instead, I focus on finding the perfect shade of red.

I can't really say what made me pick up this crazy shade of blue this time. Maybe I was bored or feeling a bit more playful. Maybe I decided this was the most outrageous color of lip product in the store and wanted to see why a makeup company would put this in front of me. So I took it home and tried it on. Then I went back to the store, bought every other color of this specific liquid lipstick and a couple other lip products in outrageous colors such as sky blue, black, grey and white.

When I put that shade of blue on my lips and looked in the mirror I wondered what orange would look like or yellow or green (these two were not found) or black or purple (because embracing your inner goth is fun

sometimes). I decided I wanted a rainbow of liquid lipsticks so that I could take a picture with each of them on and put them side by side to make a rainbow of lip colors.

Once I possessed as close to a rainbow of lip products as I could achieve without being in a Halloween store, the next logical thing to do was paint! And of course, when you're painting with lipstick you have to paint lips. So I pulled out a stack of small square canvas that I wasn't saving for anything special and got to work.

<I took these two pictures first then ended up doing a photoshoot with the other colors and forgot to retake the first two to make them all the same.>

I started out with a drawing of a pair of lips in the middle of the canvas and because I hadn't tried out all of the colors I bought yet I started making random shapes in all of the different colors as the background (that's why there isn't a color theme which bothers me but I was just testing out the colors) and since I didn't want to mix the colors I left a white line between each shape. I decided the color of the lips should be the original blue that started this whole thing.

For the next "painting" I went with a more traditional color of lips and slightly changed the shape.

For the last (I got tired of the fume) I used the black lipstick and changed the shape and made a line in the background of each color.

Side Note: I do not recommend putting this much liquid lipstick on and removing it and putting more on and removing it in sich short a time it was hell on my lips.

I don't have good artificial lighting in my room and I forgot to take these while there was sunlight.
