KIKO Smart Lipstick #912 Crimson Red Review, FOTD

Hello All.

Today’s review will be on KIKO Smart Lipstick #912 Crimson Red. From my recent haul, I have already reviewed #929 Fuchsia and #933 Poppy Red and #904 Strawberry Pink. I think plums and mauves with pink and red undertones suit Indian beauties really well.

My Experience with KIKO Smart Lipstick #912 Crimson Red:

Packaging: The Lipstick comes in a rectangular cardboard box, with the name of the brand, number of the lipstick and the ingredients list mentioned on it. The lipstick bullet is housed in a black matte plastic body. The shade number is also mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick. It has a turn and twist up mechanism. Also, the cap shuts with a click and has an upper hollow on the lid for the ease of closure. It looks classy and compact. The lid shuts with a click and is not prone to opening on its own and hence can be easy to carry around in the bag or wallet.

Shade:Crimson Red again is a very gorgeous Mauvish Pink shade. It has slight tint of red as well. But mostly pink. The name says Crimson Red but it has very slight reddish tints to it. This color too is very fresh and young kinds. This shade will suit all skin tones and is a very soft and smooth daily wear shade. It brings a nice freshness to the face. Similarly, like the other lipsticks in this range, you can play around the color intensity.

Texture and Pigmentation: Just like other KIKO Smart Lipsticks, the texture of Crimson Red is soft and creamy. An exception to the other shades in this range, I find Crimson Red to be buttery soft. Hence, if you have dry patches or unexfoliated lips, then this lipstick will crumble a bit. I would say that, it looks like a combination of a soft, nourishing lipstick and a lip balm. It glides on the lips easily and does not tug or pull.

It has a glossy finish to it. As a thumb rule that I follow, exfoliate your lips and use a lip balm beneath the lipstick. This shade is not overtly opaque neither too sheer. It is in between. It will help in hiding slightly pigmented lips. The color intensity can be managed as per the needs. Multiple swipes do not feel heavy at all.

Lasting power: Although it claims to last long, mine lasted for only 4-5 hours. It won’t survive a meal. Also, this lipstick is not waterproof or cutlery stain proof. It does transfer. While fading away it leaves a soft pink stain on the lips.
