My Experience with Colorbar Full Finish Long Wear Lipstick:
- These lipsticks come in a sleek silver casing. Once you open the cap, the lipsticks are encased in plastic grey covering.I like the pretty packaging, easier to carry. Also the caps are tight.

- I have three of the six shades from the Colorbar long wear lipstick range.
Truffle is a an earthy brown colour. Soft shade and would suit a lot of Indian skin tones. A nice subtle colour for office wear.
Plum Show is a bright fuchsia plum shade.
Tempt me a terracotta brown colour. It has a little orange undertone. On lips, truffle and tempt me look quite similar. i just feel Truffle would be an easier colour to pull off.

Rest 3 shades:
Colorbar
- The long wear lipstick is matte. It is super pigmented and opaque.
- The lipstick doesn’t smear or smudge even though every shade is pretty bright.
- It stays on my lips for 4 hours. These 4 hours include a full meal and some snack munching. Even after a full meal, the colour is still on my lips. Without a meal and just snacks, the lipstick stay on even longer. I would put this Colorbar range in “long wear lipstick” category.
- It is quite drying but not so drying to make your lips uncomfortable. If you have chapped lips, these might not be a good option for you.
- The lipstick doesn’t have any weird smell.
- Colorbar has packed this lipstick nicely. The color stickers are stuck at the bottom of the lipstick so it is easier to locate. Just store it upside down in a mug and you are sorted.

The not so good things about Colorbar Full Finish Long Wear Lipstick:
- The shade selection is very limited. 4 out of 6 lipsticks are brown.
- It does not live up to the 8 hour stay on claim. I think that would hold true only if you don’t eat, drink or talk.
- I think it’s expensive at Rs 550. Most Colorbar lipsticks are priced anything between 200-350/-

Overall I think these are good picks for working women both in terms of staying power and shade selection.

Hi Rati!
I thought it did look expensive, the price, at first. but after seeing your photos, i think that the lipsticks are well worth the price, all three colours look absolutely gorgeous on you. But I must admit that the shade PLum Show looks absolutely ravishing on you. nice review
Are there any lipstick palettes in colorbar or any other brand which sport about four of five pink shades atleast? I saw the lakme range but they were too earthy and brown.
Hi Praseena,
Welcome to IMBB.
To be honest I never mention about the price of the products because I feel a company has full right to decide the worth of their product. Just that mostly people relate to Rs 200- 300 Rs price range when it comes to Colorbar lipsticks. So I felt they went a little far with their price range this time. Plum show is a really pretty shade. thank you so much. 
I think years back it was Colorbar only that used to carry lipstick palettes. Now I don’t know of any other brand that has lipstick palettes other than Lakme. In Inglot you can make your custom lip palettes. A little expensive but you won’t regret buying them.
Rati,
Thank you for the review. Plum show looks best on you. :-* I am going to check these out foh shuahh!! :-)

sorry for sounding like a total blonde. but is it good or bad ?:-)
Im going to guess good thing since – the lesser the lead content the better for lips no ?
yeah i guess too but as nivedita says most of the shades are in the range of red to plum. None I’m interested in :( Preeti could you possibly post a link to the source of your info?
the stronger the colour is the higher the lead content.
Thanks Preeti.
the colours look alike.. too much of browns….
another fact… browns make girls look older…. said by bobbi brown
yeah too many brown. I keep a brown or two shad ein my collection but for it’s mostly pinks and corals.
I stay away from long stay lipsticks-they dry out my lips :-( Rati, btw does maybelline/revlon has good coral shades??
I think Maybelline color sensational range has. Revlon Colorburst has a peach shade. It’s not exactly coral , just has a hint of it.
I stick to my Loreal “hold on rose” gloss but guess it’ll be good to try a few dark lipsticks for the winters…I like truffle
yeah truffle is nice shade.
how is the staying power of the loreal gloss?
It does stay well put for 4-5 hours , though it claims 6 hours. One reapplication on a working day is enough, so I am pretty satisfied
I didnt like the shade selection of this lipstick…not my kind of colors :-(
I wud love to see more lighter pink shades
BTW…hope ur diwali went good
Hi HD,
Long time.
How are you doing?
Diwlai was pretty good. I agree that the shade selection is not that great. Hope they include some nicer colours because the lipsticks are pretty decent.
Plum show looks really good on you..infact i feel plum shades in general have that capacity to brighten up faces…
heyyy…me doing good..yeah long time..was caught up with Diwali at home
Truffle shade in lakme aquashine is really good, and plum too in lakme and loreal. But i prefer pinks and browns only, i think plum makes me look dull.
