These lipstick swatches are taking beauty blogging to the next level

When reviewing a new beauty product, swatches are important. They help readers visualise what the product would look like on them; they get to see the finish, the texture.

While they're handy, they're boring. A stripe on your arm? Woah, revolutionary. And so thought 'beauty influencer' Daisy aka dwglamgeek, whose artsy lipstick watches we're basically obsessed with.

Daisy uses liquid lipstick to create works of actual art on her forearm. She mostly references popular fiction - Harry Potter to Mean Girls - and while she doesn't actually draw the swatches (she uses a stencil) her use of colour is impressive.

Speaking to Seventeen.com she said, "I own over 1,000 liquid lipsticks and I didn't want them to just sit in the drawers, so I thought, let's just make cool drawings on my arm with liquid lipsticks so they get used." That's one creative way to use them.

Take a look.
