Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

Linnéa starts with an open-mouth technique – instead of kissing the painting, her portrait is made up of a few wide circles. She then uses the edge of her lips to make straight lines connecting the circles. Of all of the contestants, Linnéa is the one who makes the most realistic painting, as it actually resembles a person. As this was a non-competition bonus task, Babben does not award any points, but does admit that Linnéa would have won.
After debating on where to start his painting, Måns declares that a good centre point would be David’s “distinct nipple”. He runs to the kitchen and comes back with a popsicle, which he runs over David’s exposed nipple to make it stand out. Happy with his efforts, Måns makes a firm red mark on his canvas to represent the nipple. He then manages to paint a face before his time runs out. As this was a non-competition bonus task, Babben does not award any points.
Not much is actually shown of Marko’s process, but it’s clear that he does not have a plan and is just painting on the fly. When held at an angle, Marko’s painting does look roughly like a stick figure, but without knowledge of what it’s meant to be, Marko’s painting mostly looks like a series of colourful dots on the canvas. As this was a non-competition bonus task, Babben does not award any points.
After making a rough outline of the chair on which David is sitting, Nikki insists that David’s body is “impossible” to paint. She makes a few shapes on the canvas, then looks it over, and marvels at the fact that she spent so much money on school just to end up making lipstick paintings on television. As this was a non-competition bonus task, Babben does not award any points.
Henrik applies blue lipstick to his lips and immediately starts rubbing the canvas against them. This also transfers lipstick into his beard and his fingers. Instead of applying lipstick normally, Henrik breaks off part of the lipstick from the tube and rubs it directly onto his face. Eventually, he manages to use his beard as a sort of brush, rubbing it against the lipstick already on the canvas to spread it around and give the painting some texture. As this was a non-competition bonus task, Babben does not award any points.
