Does anyone intentionally layer multiple lipsticks to get just the right shade or correct something that doesn't look the way you thought it would once on? Yesterday I put on some of Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipstick in Rouge, then decided it wasn't quite what I wanted, so I swiped on some of Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in Ruby, and the effect was a really nice deep bluey-red (kind of like the Maybelline Color Sensational Red Revival). It felt good on, and lasted without touch-ups even through two Polynesian drinks.
Not-red lipstick I should avoid at all costs: Cover Girl Outlast in euphoria. It looked like a nice plummy color. When I put it on: purple. Muppet-flesh purple. Argh. I like purple, but not on my lips. Maybe when I'm a crazy old lady, but not now.

Thank you for your awesome compliment! No it's not matte at all. I usually line my lips, then fill in with lipstick an apply all over with the lipliner again, I believe that last lip liner coat is what reduces the shine, giving it a matte look. Oh and for easy smooth application, I put lip balm about 30 min before I apply, then reapply again 15 minutes later and let it sink in and absorb. When I apply, the lip liner glides on smoothly and it almost seems like the color is richer in a way! I posted yesterday a pic of the lip products I use to achieve thisOff topic:
Your hair looks lovely.
As for the lips.. are they mat? They look mat to me.. that's good.
How matte is too matte? According to Besame's site, original lippies weren't matte, despite the general opinion that vintage reds should be worn as such. Also, if you really study lipstick as you watch old movies, it's usually somewhat creamy in appearance.
