My
Pink/Plum Lipsticks Collection!
I
love the color pink. I think it is the most versatile color in makeup since we
get different shades which are all pink – nude pink, bubblegum pink, warm pink,
cool pink, blue based, brown based and so on. I have many lipsticks which are
pink with different under tones. I thought I will show you my collection.
L’oreal Color Riche
Lipstick in Velvet Rose:
Price:
Rs. 825
This
is a very pale pink that goes sheer on my lips. It is very creamy and hydrating
but it cannot hide the pigmentation on my lips. I think it will suit only pale
skin tones. Due to its creamy texture, it doesn’t stay on my lips for much
time. It stays hardly 1-2 hours on my lips and then fades away. It has a
tendency to melt and break inside the holder.
MAC Lipstick Mehr:
Price:
Rs. 1190
My
first ever lipstick from MAC! MAC describes Mehr as a ‘dirty blue pink’. It washes
me out unless I am wearing full makeup since it goes very pale on my lips. It
is matte in texture and has very good pigmentation. A single swipe is enough
to cover the pigmentation on my lips. The staying power is pretty good. It
stays on for 4-5 hours without any meals in between.
MAC lipstick Twig:
Price:
Rs. 1190
I
always think “why good things come so late to me?”. This is my latest purchase
from MAC. It is the ideal neutral pink for me. MAC describes it as a ‘soft
muted brownish pink’ and that is exactly what it is. It is a very beautiful
pink which is suitable for most of the Indian skin tones. The finish is satin
and it stays for around 4 hours on my lips without any meals in between.
Pigmentation is awesome and it camouflages pigmentation on my lips and still
keep them look naturally pink.
Lakme 9 to 5 lip
color Red Chaos:
Price:
Rs. 400
Red
Chaos had the most incorrect name that a lipstick can have in comparison to its
shade. It doesn’t look anywhere red to me. I feel it is a brown based pink
which has more brown than MAC Twig. It has very good pigmentation and is matte
in texture. But it has less staying power compared to MAC lipsticks. If worn continuously it may dry out the lips. It is an ideal every day color for
Indian skin tones just like Twig.
Faces Ultimate
Prolong wear lipstick Flirty pink:
Price:
Rs. 599/-
It
is a bubblegum pink and is very flattering for Indian skin tones. It is not
neonish but has just the right amount of brightness that will brighten up your
face. It is a bit drying in nature and will get into the fine lines if the lips
are not moisturized. It is very creamy and fragile that the bullet tends to
break if applied with pressure. The pigmentation is great and it camouflages
pigmentation on my lips.
MAC Lipstick In
Craving:
Price:
Rs. 1190/-
This
is a beautiful plum shade which is of Amplified Crème finish. MAC describes it
as ‘Burst of plum’. It is highly pigmented and very creamy. It doesn’t dry out
the lips and stays put for 4-5 hours without any meals in between. I think this
is very flattering on medium to dusky skin tones and thus very suitable for
Indian skin tones.
MAC Prolong Wear
Lip creme in Love Forever:
Price:
Rs. 1500/-
This
is the only hot pink in my collection. It is really bright and highly
pigmented. This stays on and on till you remove it from your lips. MAC
describes it as Blue pink and it is very appropriately named. It is a bright
blue based pink lipstick. It is drying in nature due to its matte texture and
stains. It requires a makeup remover to be taken off. I don’t think it is
suitable for office/formal wear. You can read my complete review of LoveForever here.
Revlon Color Burst
matte balm Sultry:
Price:
Rs. 800/-
This
is the only lip product I liked so far from Revlon among the ones which I have tried.
I have seen many people comparing it with Twig but it is more intensely
pigmented than twig. It is comparable to Craving and I feel it’s a drier version
of Craving. I am fond of the color, finish and packing. But I am not very fond
of the mint flavor it has. It stays put for 4-5 hours on my lips. You can read
my complete review of Sultry here.
Now the swatches:
I
hope you liked my post. Do you have any shades from my collection? Which is
your favorite pink lipstick? Do let me know your opinion and views in the

PS:
I forgot to tell you, my most favorite pink from my collection is of course ,
TWIG!
