Colorbar velvet matte lipstick in "Bare"

Today I’ll be reviewing Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick in shade ‘Bare’.

Colorbar velvet matte lipstick claims: “For a rich lip colour with a creamy shine, the velvet matte lipstick, available in 45 stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keeping them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the velvet matte lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.

My Experience with Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick: These lipsticks are a best budget product from Colorbar and one of the best budget lipsticks I’ve tried. Colorbar velvet matte lipstick comes in a simple packaging with colored ends which makes them easy for locating (similar to NYX Round Lipsticks). It is quite creamy and moisturizing being a matte lipstick, with a subtle vanilla smell. It lasts really long, even survives through heavy meals, leaving a nice pink tint, very near to my original lip color, till I take it off from any mild cleanser. It works well on pigmented lips and would look good on just about every skin tone. The formula doesn’t bleed or settle into lines.

BARE is another congenial shade like the Maybelline Color sensational My Mahogany, a brownish pink with a hint of orange/peach. It’s a blend of peach, brown & pink. It looks more peach on my lips in the day time, while more pinkish in artificial light, and gives matte finish to the lips. It appears lighter and more on the nude side. The shade is quite versatile- when worn alone, it brightens up the face and it can also be worn lightly as a stain paired with smokey eyes.

Pros:

·        Gives opaque coverage in just one swipe.

·        The shade ‘Bare’ would compliment all types of skin tone and it adjusts itself according to your tone.

·        Does not bleed or get uneven/patchy.

·        Versatile shade that can be worn with a variety of eye makeup.

·        It has strong staying power of over 5-6 hours and surpasses heavy meals.

·        It is quite creamy and moisturizing being a matte lipstick and didn’t dry out my lips much.

·        Comes at a very reasonable price and available in a huge array of 45 shades to choose from, though all the shades are hardly available at one place.

·        Comes in a nice attractive packaging with a shade indicator at the bottom which is really helpful, if you own too many shades from this range.

Cons:

·        It is not transfer-proof.

·        Not good for dry/chapped lips.

Verdict: I am currently obsessed with this lipstick. I would love to try out many more amazing shades from this range. I recommend this to you, as they are great quality matte lipsticks at such unbeatable price. If you are looking for a nice mlbb shade which gives rich color, stays on longer and is not drying like other matte lipsticks. There’s a shade for everyone in this range and unless one suffers from very chapped lips, everyone should definitely try at least one shade from this range.

I will recommend this to all fair/medium toned women.
