MUA PowerPout Acrylic Unwrapped Review

Hello girlies,

I recently shopped some good MakeUp Academy products which seemed to be new launches and don’t new launches always look exciting to pick? I picked up 4 shades and each of them totally looked very different from each other. So my pick for the day is a nude shade called “Unwrapped”! I wasn’t really into nude shades but this one lured me as it looked gorgeous. So let’s start 

MUA PowerPout Acrylic lip color

Price: 3.50 GBP on their website (Retails at Rs 750 in India)

Product Description by MUA:

My Experience with MUA PowerPout Acrylic Unwrapped:

Packaging: The PowerPout comes in a sleek bottle which is colour coded and hence it is very easy to spot them if you own a few. It has a back cap which stays tight and these can be easily carried around in a clutch or hand-bag. They also mention the shade name at the back of the bottle. The wand is perfect as it has a slant tip which makes it glide smoothly on the lips creating a perfect pout.

Shade: The shade “Unwrapped” looked like a very beautiful nude shade with soft pink and peachy hints which give rise to the prettiest nude I had ever seen. Initially, I swatched it on my hand and it looked perfect. But you know the lip-colour rule right? It doesn’t ever look the same on the hand and lips. When I tried it on my lips, it washed out my complexion and my lips looked very weird. No one having my complexion would dare to wear this shade outside the house. My complexion is somewhere between fair and wheatish and it doesn’t suit me so there is no way it would suit the other Indian skin-tones. It will only look beautiful on the very fair skin-tone. Adding to it, is the thick acrylic paint kind of consistency which makes it look more weird on me. I think this is for the American or British skin and certainly not a nude for us. Blotting it makes it a little wearable but yet, there are better nude shades to try!

Consistency and Finish: The acrylic PowerPout is really thick and creamy in consistency which makes it glides very smoothly on the lips. Just one swipe and I have the entire colour on my lips since the pigmentation is intense and totally opaque. But at times, it feels very thick and they do look like acrylic paint on the lips which I don’t like! The finish is very glossy and creamy initially but after few hours it settles to a matte finish with sheen and then a stain. These can rightly be categorised as liquid lipsticks or velvet matte finish lip crèmes.

Staying Power: The PowerPout stays for a super long time precisely 6-7 hours with full meals and snacks. Although, it loses the intensity and glossiness after meals and water sips! It does not settle in fine lines but it transfers a lot since the consistency is creamy. After some 5-6 hours, it settles to a matte finish with a slight sheen and then finally into stain which easily comes off with a make-up remover or cleansing milk.
Overall, they are damn good as far as the quality is concerned but the shades are too bold to handle!

Cons of MUA PowerPout Acrylic Unwrapped:

• It is extremely creamy which is why it transfers a lot.
• It bleeds a little too from the corners of the lips.
• It is extremely thick like the acrylic paints.
• It washes out my complexion and looks weird on the lips.
• It is not meant for Indian skin-tones.

IMBB Rating: 3/5 (It was true to all its claims)
Will I Repurchase/Recommend MUA PowerPout Acrylic Unwrapped?
No, this is not the nude for us. There are so many better nudes that compliment the nude shades beautifully. Wouldn’t come back to this range because it is too bold to handle!

Conclusion:
I would recommend to splurge on MUA lipsticks instead of these are not everyone’s cup of tea!
