My Experience with Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Feeling Hawt:
Needless to mention, the ‘Velvet Matte’ lipstick range from Colorbar has a gigantic collection of about 50 shades. Huge and confusing, isn’t it??? Anybody who has ever asked me for an affordable matte lipstick, this is the first range that strikes my mind instantly. Now let’s get started with the packaging.
Packaging:
This matte lipstick bullet comes housed inside a shiny round silver tube with a transparent cap on it. The colour of the shade is clearly visible from the top of the lipstick bullet and you can peek through the shade of the lipstick inside. This type of packaging makes shade identification a lot easier. On the body of the tube the brand name is written in black font. No details about the ingredient list is mentioned anywhere on the packaging.
The shade name and quantity detail is also provided at the bottom of the lipstick case via a sticker. The cap shuts with an audible click. The packaging is very sturdy and you easily carry it around everywhere. Overall, I love the simple yet classic packaging of this lipstick.
Shade:
Colorbar ‘Feeling Hawt’ shade is a super gorgeous, bright cool-toned hot pink colour. It might look quite neon-ish in the pictures but it is not so. The colour has a sweet and charming vibe that surrounds and it looks extremely vibrant on lips. I love such vibrant lip colours and when it is a pink-based lip colour I definitely give it more points. It brightens my complexion and looks quite flattering on me.
However, since it is a bright pink shade, this will complement fair to medium skin tones more. This shade is perfect for daytime wear but in that case try not to go overboard with your eye makeup. You can easily rock such stunning shades during parties and wedding occasions. Plus, it has a matte finish, so it is definitely apt for long-day wear without frequent touch-ups.
Pigmentation:
This shade is perfectly pigment packed. It is high on pigmentation with a super-rich colour intensity which is great for everyone. A single swipe is all you need to get opaque coverage but it needs slight pressing to occupy the lips properly. It covers lip pigmentation well. For my lips, I had to apply two coats of it for obtaining the best colour pay off.
The quality is really good at this price value. This lipstick has a very pleasant vanilla fragrance. Personally, I love vanilla scents, so I have no problem with this odour. It should not be a problem for sensitive noses as the fragrance is not too overpowering.
Texture:
As per the product description, this lipstick gives a velvet matte finish on application. The texture isn’t drying kind of matte. It is more of a creamy matte lipstick which gives velvety finish upon application. It does not have any sort of shimmer or sheen in it and gives a beautiful definition to your lips. It has smooth application and does not tug lips much. It is buildable and adjusts well to layering.
I loved this formula, even though it has a matte formulation it never dries out my lips. The nourishing formulation of this lipstick is due to presence of Vitamin E in its ingredients list which promises to keep your lips look healthy always. But I would not say that the creaminess in this lipstick is sufficient enough to meet the requirements of overtly drying lips. It is perfect for normal lips.
The formula glides on very smoothly and very little product is needed for total coverage. So, this lipstick feels extremely comfortable on my lips. It has a feather light formula and does not feel like I’m wearing something on my lips. However; this one definitely is not a transfer proof lipstick as the formula is not fully matte. It does transfer slightly, but the colour intensity on the lips does not vary much due to this.
It does not crease or accentuate the fine lines of your lips. Another thing about this range is that they do leave a prominent stain upon fading. But this shade has much lesser intensity of stain produced compared to the other shade ‘Deep Fantasy’ which I have already reviewed. You might count this thing in the demerits list.
But it does not crack or flake off. So your lips do not feel chapped after wearing it. Since the formula is matte, but to avoid highlighting any sort of patchiness or settling into fine lines, exfoliation is necessary. I usually prefer prepping my lips and moisturizing it with a lip balm to avoid any sort of dryness. Other than the exfoliation part, I absolutely have no complains about its texture and quality.
Staying Power:
This lipstick lasts for over 5-6 hours without food or drinks. The problem with this lipstick starts after having heavy meals as it gradually starts to fade away from the centre of your lips. So wearing time is pretty good but these do transfer a little. As I already mentioned before that these do leave a stain after fading but the stain left behind by this shade is not that prominent.
If you have no problem with staining then it will be perfectly okay for you. However, it is pretty easy to reapply this because it does not feel tacky at all. It is quite even and does not get messy. The lipstick can be easily removed with any make up remover.
Overall:
For a lipstick-freak girl like me, who keeps juggling between different brands, the velvet matte range from Colorbar is a decent purchase and I am more or less happy with the purchase. I absolutely love this sweet shade and someone who loves pink based lip colours will have no issue with this. I definitely give it thumbs up!!
