Wanting to be part of the 100-layer club, self-proclaimed “queen of shitty robots” and engineer Simone Giertz fashioned a basic robot to automatically apply lipstick onto her face. It also had a screen to count the layers applied. Wanting to set the bar really high, Giertz decided on 1,000 layers of lipstick.

I used a servo motor to put on one thousand layers of lipstick. Because… Reasons. After I had filmed this I saw that some other people have done a 1000 layers of lipstick too, but STILL NOT ANYONE USING THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY LIKE ME.
