L’Oreal Paris Plum 6HR Infallible Neverfail Lipliner Review

Skin Tone- Medium, NC42, warm undertones
No lip liner collection is complete without a Plum shade and that is completely justified. In the age of N*des and Reds, Plum is one shade that compliments all skin tones and age groups. Read on to know how the Plum from the Infallible lip liner collection by L’oreal fared for me.

Price – Rs 650/-

Product Description:

Define your favorite Infallible Never Fail Lipcolor, Lipstick or Lipgloss with a long wearing liner designed to perfectly complement each shade. No touch-ups. No feathering. No fading. Rich and creamy formula goes on smooth and even leaving your lips soft and comfortable for hours. A sharpener is built-in for your convenience.

My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Plum 6HR Infallible Neverfail Lipliner:

The lip liner comes in a twist-up packaging; thankfully it twists back. The body is color coded and made of plastic with the shade name and other details mentioned on the body in silver fonts. It comes with an in-built tip sharpener, which comes in handy if you like sharp tip for doing a precise outline. Unlike most lip liners with twist-up mechanism, this one doesn’t break easily; definitely with extra pressure it will break but it is not that fragile.

The texture of the lip liner is quite creamy and it applies without any tugging or pulling. If you have dry chapped lips, exfoliation is definitely recommended. The pigmentation is good; one swipe gives the desired results. Due to the creaminess of the lip liner it gets used up super fast. Considering the price and the quantity, I would not really call it a wise purchase.

The shade Plum is a muted berry shade that looks pretty and sophisticated on my skin tone. The shade is a versatile one and pairs very well with smudged kohl and heavily blushed cheeks. As it is quite muted, the shade can be worn both during day and at night. Though it is not unique but I find this shade to be a safe pick. If you want to pick one color from the collection, I would suggest this Plum shade.

The staying power ranges from 3-4 hours depending on the food/fluid intake. It is definitely not going to stay for 6 hours. The area of concern is the dryness that follows if you wear it alone like a lip color. After an hour or so the lips start feeling stretched and parched which is not at all comfortable; applying a lip balm is must. It does not feather or peel but it starts fading unevenly from the centre of the lips.

The shade is pretty but the price and unforgiving texture is something that makes me feel meh about the lip liner.
If you like such shades and do not mind shelling out the price, you can ahead and buy this.

Pros of L’Oreal Paris Plum 6HR Infallible Neverfail Lipliner:

Cons of L’Oreal Paris Plum 6HR Infallible Neverfail Lipliner:
