L’Oreal Color Riche Lip Liner Couture – Perfect Red Review

Hello peeps,
How are you all doing? I picked up a few lip liners from L’Oreal which seem to be some new launches. I have already reviewed Berry Blush.

Product Description:

My Experience with L’Oreal Color Riche Lip Liner Couture – Perfect Red:

Packaging: The couture lip liners look exactly like colour pencils with a cap. They are long and sleek which makes them super travel-friendly. I loved the pattern or call it the texture embossed over the packaging which makes it look different from the regular Color Riche lip liners. The colour of the pencil is the shade colour itself which makes it easy to spot the shades if you own a few of these. The cap stays on very tight and does not get separated at any point from the liner. I use a regular sharpener to sharpen these and they get sharpened nicely but it causes a lot of product wastage. Plus I just sharpened it twice and the size became so small. Hence, I can easily predict that this will last me only a few uses which is why I would call it expensive.

Shade: The shade “Perfect Red” is very pretty and a bold red with loads of orange hints. I wouldn’t call it a perfect red because it has an equal proportion of orange and red, so yes, it does look orange too at times. It isn’t a blood red; in fact it is a very warm red. If you cannot carry extremely bold reds, then this one is for you which goes a little subtle on the lips yet portrays that boldness. I love this shade because it instantly brightens up my face making my skin look glowing and clear because this grabs all the attention. It will definitely suit any make-up look that I create, be it day-time or evening-time. It will also complement all the skin-tones and has the power to cover mildly pigmented lips.

Texture and pigmentation: The texture of the lip liner initially was very hard but I sharpened it and that gave me a creamy texture. I stretch my lips and then apply it for a smooth application. At times, it is so creamy that a pointy piece of the lip liner just breaks off. The pigmentation is quite buildable; one swipe would give a subtle red and 2-3 swipes would make the pout super perfect and poppy. It does not settle in fine lines and does not accentuate dry patches too. But it does transfer to cups.

Staying power: It stays for around 7-8 hours without any meals or probably light snacks. And with full meals it lasts up to 5 hours on my lips. After a meal, the colour mildly loses its intensity. But it also leaves a strong stain which stays for the entire day.
