ColorBar Velvet Matte Lipstick - Shade Bare Review


I can be such a moody person at times, giving everyone a hard time, and depending on my mood, my choices changes too. So, I was more of a lipgloss girl for last few good years and suddenly, I am hoarding lipsticks of all kinds. 

And, while I am going through this *lipstick phase*, let me present to you the latest addition to my stash, ColorBar Velvet Matte Lipstick in shade Bare.

I am sure, you all have heard a lot about this range of lipsticks. I just want to vouch for all the good points already shared in the blogger world about these and just add my two cents on them.



PRICE: Rs.225

QUANTITY: 4.2 g 


WHAT IT 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 keep 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.

SWATCHES: 

 

MY EXPERIENCE: ColorBar Velvet Matte Lipstick in shade Bare, is another congenial shade like the Maybelline CS My Mahogany, a brownish pink shade with a hint of peach. It looks more peach on my lips in the day time, while more pinkish in artificial light at night, and gives a matte finish to the lips. It is quite creamy and moisturizing being a matte lipstick, with a subtle vanilla smell in the tube but I can't decipher it much on my lips and it doesn't have any distinct taste. It lasts really long, even survives through heavy meals, leaving a nice deep pink tint, very near to my original lipcolor, which I loved the most about this lippie. Let me summarize all the points for you.

WHAT I LIKED:
  •  Gives opaque coverage in just one swipe.
  • The shade 'Bare' would compliment all types of skintone as it adjusts itself according to your tone.
  • It has strong staying power of over 5-6 hours and surpasses heavy meals. I am a big fan of the lovely dark pink tint it leaves even when it fades out.
  • 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.
 
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
  • It accentuates the fine lines on my lips.
  • It is not transfer-proof.
 
VERDICT: I am currently obsessed with this lipstick and it is giving a very hard competition to my Maybelline CS ones. I would love to try out many more amazing shades from this range. If you still haven't tried them, I recommend this to you, as they are great quality matte lipsticks at such unbeatable price.
