Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick High Tea Review

I am back again with a lipstick review and about a lipstick that I cribbed about lately :P, regarding the change of formula of these Colorbar Velvet Matte lipsticks.  I have been using them since 2006 and those were the days of creamier and thicker lipsticks from this range and these are just the opposite and the deeper colors stain like crazy.

High Tea

I am reviewing a soft brown for your girls today, more of a nude I would say.  Priced at Rs. 225 (now Rs. 250 I think), this is a cream lipstick and not really a matte one.  The packing like you can see is a little better than the earlier square one. I like how the color peeps at the bottom like those NYX round lipsticks and I have never tried opening the base of either of them.

The lipstick on its own, let me tell you, is just another plain Jane brown with a very average texture.  These lipsticks once used to be so thick and dense that one swipe was enough to cover any pigmented lips, but this one is very light in texture.  I find I need to swipe it on and on to use and as such its a very light color.  For the picture, I must have used it thrice at least because its not a soft and creamy lipstick, but a little hard unlike those lipsticks, which leave a whole layer of color on.

High Tea

People who like sheer lips, soft browns, and nude colors may like this one.  This shade I must say is very dull and sucks the life out of my face on a dull day. I honestly think this will make a very nice nude on tanned and dusky skin, but for me, it makes me look ill.

High Tea

One good thing about this lipstick is that thankfully it does not leave any pink stains behind and it is not as drying as others deeper shades from the range.  So, this fades off evenly and naturally in some two hours.

Last Word:

High Tea

I am not happy with the texture.  Its not thick and luscious, but just another regular brown. I would say the Streetwear lipsticks I have reviewed for Rs. 140 feel the same or even better. I know there are many better shades in Colorbar, but this one shade is some thing you must have used and seen a lot of times earlier! Apart from the name, nothing tempts me to reach out for this one 😛
