Launched this Spring as part of its "Muse" collection, smashbox has introduced three new lip paints to include in your own personal makeup art studio!
First off, I have to mention the superior product packaging. The design of the tube is utterly fantastic, and enables perfect product control. When you simply remove the wand from the tube, only a tiny amount of gloss is waiting for application. This tiny amount is perfect for some barely-there color. If you're looking for a richer, deeper color, just squeeze the tube lightly to dispense more gloss through the top. Unlike some glosses that I've used in the past, this tube is totally mess free! You'll never have to worry about gloss spilling out through the top with this tube!
I sampled Muse lip paint in Luminary and Artiste. Luminary is a pale nude shade that is perfect for a natural look, or can be layered to create an opaque apricot shade. Applied minimally, Artiste looks like the flushed berry lips you wish you were born with. Layer Artiste, and flecks of gold spice up this bold berry shade!
smashbox recommends you actually combine the shades Luminary and Artiste to create the a perfect shade of nude. I can't wait to try that out!
Retail price is $21.
The smashbox muse collection (including a pink shade I didn't sample: Virtuoso) is available at beauty.com, Sephora.com
, and at smashbox online. Do check it out!
