Red Lips and Lip experimenting

In today's seminar we looked at how a simple red lip can be so different.. we took note of all of the different shades there are:    
we also looked at how different finishes can make a red lips look different too (matte, gloss and sheen/sheer):

also we looked at all the different shapes of lip that can be created:

It was really interesting to see so many different versions of a red lip, I knew there were a lot but I don't think I realized there were so many ways to do it! After the lesson I also had a look at what icons were known for red lips like Marilyn Monroe etc.

I also decided to have a play with the different rules for lips regarding texture and colour, the rules I looked at were, bigger lips look better matte and in darker colours, smaller lips look better glossy and in lighter colours to be more flattering, also gloss in the centre of the lips can make them look bigger.
