Colorbar Velvet Matte Just Maroon 45M Lipstick Review

Hello Beautiful Ladies,

Winters finally seem to be hitting Delhi hard and so does the much awaited party season! 😀 Yes, the season where every woman not only gets an excuse to wear pretty dresses but also dark berry/maroon/red shades! 😀

Well, the shade I am about to review today “Just Maroon 45M”, as the name suggest is more on the lines of maroon/burgundy, and here is my verdict on the shade and the lipstick itself.

My Experience with Colorbar Velvet Matte Just Maroon 45M Lipstick:

This lipstick has been with me for about a year now and I am glad I am finally reviewing it for you guys today! Honestly, when I first checked this lipstick out it looked anything but Maroon to me. The shade looked more on the chocolate deep brown side with maroon hues in it but nothing like deep red/maroon shade which could be rightly called “Just Maroon”. (Check lipstick shade and swtaches, and I am sure you will actually agree with me.) Anyhow, I still decided to try it out and yes, I indeed ended up buying it. 😀

Now, if you are looking for typical deep maroon shades – I must warn you beforehand – “Just Maroon 45M” is not that. But, if you are looking for a maroon with a twist – this is the shade you must try. This mattifying lipstick is complemented with shades of brown.

Also, though, it is a matte lipstick it does not make your lips look dry, it definitely has some moisture content present in it, but that does not stop the shade from lasting long. I recon it would last you easily for 4-5 hours (without meals). The lipstick is well pigmented and smells like vanilla. 😀

Having said that, the only negative feelings I actually attach to the lipstick are:
1) It eventually makes your lips look and feel dry as it starts to fade. Though it will take you 3 hours before you can feel that way (unless you have dry lips), I felt the need to mention it.
2) This lipstick gives a shabby look if you keep layering it as it has a tendency to settle into fine lines.

    1. maybe you could apply a single coat of this one – but i guess there would not be much sense doing that – I am sure there are tonnes of shade out there which would complement your skin tone. 🙂

      1. It have been discontinued before October 2014. I was looking for shade ‘ Bare ‘ from this range then and I went to 4-5 Colorbar counters and all of them said the same that this range have been discontinued. 🙁 Though it was still available online. They probably had old stock.

        1. Oh. Thanks for the trivia Madhur. I just got one shade from the same range last week from GIP. They dint say any such thing to me. Anyways, it’s good enough that I got I got the shade I wanted.
