Every woman must at some stage of life experiment with the color RED in lipsticks , for RED oozes confidence, power , boldness and celebration .But some woman are perplexed by the various shades available ,so L’Oreal has come to the rescue and ever since I came to know that L’Oreal has launched a new collection of its well received Color Riche Moist Matte range with the name – L’oreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds ,I was aching to get at least one for myself and that is what today’s review is all about .
Coming to the review itself . I zero-ed in on two shades to swatch for medium dusky skin with pigmented lips –Pure Brick (Aishwarya ) and Pure Garnet (Freida ) .
L’oreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipsticks has a great concept.Select the celebrity who you think your skin tone most closely matches and Voila – Your Perfect Red is there for you .
The PRICE – Rs 995/- available at all L’Oreal counters and Online at Nykaa.
The PROS of L’oreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipstick –Pure BRICK
- Beautiful and elegant Black casing with a small square indicating the exact shade within.
- It feels very soft and easy to apply , no tugging at the lips .
- Gives very good coverage in single swipe ,so will last long and justify the price
- Will suit Indian complexions specially the warm ones very well .
- The color is warm ,red with brown undertones .
- The colour lasts for 4-5 hours very easily
- Pure matte (no shine ) color
- Carries the autograph of the star endorsing it
- Seven shades of red available for different complexions from Asian to Caucasian .
The CONS of L’oreal Color Riche Star Collection Pure Reds Lipstick –Pure BRICK
- Expensive at Rs 995/-
- I felt it could have been little more easy to glide on.
- Starts feeling dry after 3-4 hours ,so it will be important to prime the lips first.
- Applying from the bullet is slightly messy as it is very soft ,a brush gives better application
- Stains the lips and a special lip and eye make up remover is needed to take it off
- It does not completely cover my pigmented lips and I think depending upon the colour of your lips the shade would come out darker brownish brick on pigmented lips or orangey red on lighter lips .
FINAL VERDICT –These lipsticks give beautiful matte ,orangey-red colour and last long , the celebrity endorsement helps in picking the right shade for you.I give it a 4.5 /5 , minus marks for the slight smudginess while application and the price , but otherwise a beautiful lipstick to own. I feel the shade Pure Garnet is a true red too which will suit all skin colours .
