Lip colour is a common problem for learners Wayne, for some good reasons. It's hard to perceive the colour accurately, as I mentioned here, because there's a natural optical illusion to see the colour as more toward magenta or violet than it is. Relates to this previous thread of yours also...

Just need to check, at the same time, same distance etc? Even minor differences can affect the way primer goes down unfortunately, just backing off a short distance can be enough to cause some additional grain. Also if there was settling in the AB after figure #1 was sprayed the primer coming...

That is sad news. Too large too early maybe. Einion
