If in doubt. Pout.

What can I say? My sore sore fingers from tap-tap-tapping out a critical evaluation and other such bibliographical formats has left me bereft of words. Well that's a lie; I am NEVER lost for words until I see Morrissey far across the other side of the room. Then, and only then, do I stand and stare with patient distant admiration, but what I really want to talk about is Kate Moss for Rimmel London.

You can't move for matte effect in AW12. Matte black nails look very sleek and even chic. Does this mean a matte block colour will look oh so chic? A look that everyone can pull off? Well maybe!

 It is a look that I love but can be quite difficult to achieve. To create the effect the make up must be heavily pigmented and this can make the texture of the lipstick very thick and dry.

Can anyone pull off matte burgundy lipstick?
I paired it with a smokey eye and I just could not resist adding a blush. When in doubt I always err on the side of drag queen; at least I look alive.

For handing in my university work I treated myself to Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Matte Effect Lipstick shade 107. You can buy it here.

WHAT I ALSO SHOULD HAVE INVESTED IN WAS A LIP LINER, BUT THERE WE GO.

The lipstick felt silky on application but I found I kept applying more as if I was craving some kind of lip moisture.

It held well and stained my lips for a whole portion of a night out although I did finally cave in and dab a tiny spot of Nivea's original lip butter over the top so my lips didn't dry out entirely while keeping with the flat matte effect.

It slowly began to bleed, but that really was my own fault; I hadn't used a lip liner.

I hadn't really tried a dark lipstick before. Lip colour is something new for me but I can see I've started something I just couldn't finish.

Are there any lip liners you can recommend? Any good lip tips?

There are a whole host of other products that used to create this look such as; a sparkly flapper dress from Asda; Rimmel Gel eyeliner in aubergine; and a nifty little fringe trim.

That one shade braver? I went 107 shades braver.

Remember: If in doubt. Pout.
