Sleek Pout Paint Review. Long, long overdue.

Posted by on Friday, April 13, 2012

I said I bought all of these after getting my GCSE results, as a sort of 'yey me' reward. Dad gave me money for every A or A* I got, and I used some of it to buy these at Superdrug. Using my 25% off voucher and the fact they were on 3 for 2, of course.

That was last year.

Only now have I got round to swatching and talking about them. Feel free to beat me.

One thing about these that annoys me greatly is that some colours seperate. Observe.

Because of their tube format, I don't really now how to change this? Massage gently? *shrug*

I like these. I did try the suggested method of adding melted Vaseline to create a tinted lip balm (similar to Sleek's Pout Polishes) but I'm not keen on Vaseline as a lip product anyway, and I found this took away almost all the colour from it and left me with a really sheer balm. Wouldn't repeat.

I do like mixing these up to create different colours, and they're especially good for creative makeup looks or simply wanting to wear a lip colour that no one else will have. While they do dry your lips out slightly, I combat this by applying the Pout Paint, blotting off, then applying lip balm and then going back over with the Pout Paint. I find that my lip colour will survive eating and drinking with this method, and will last all day/the duration of an outing.

All in all, I think Sleek are really expanding the market with these. It's not a product that other high street makeup lines have out, and it's pretty unique, so they get a thumbs up from me.

More cool things you can do with your Pout Paint stash:

  1. I love the shade you customised. Is it officially named 'Braceface'? How radical of you.

  4. Loving Braceface! I'm all for gradient lips and it looks great on your skin tone. Makes me want to buy some Pout Paints and have a play.

  5. Thanks, Imah Ayub and Anana in the Cloud! I'd say invest in one or two Pout Paints, they look small but there's loads in there!
