SimplyNam liquid lipstick is a let down

SWIPE FOR LIP AND HAND SWATCHES

I recently purchased the SimplyNam liquid lipstick in the shade MADHU. I was expecting something hydrating, pigmented, yet long lasting (my personal HG is Kiro). I was sorely let down.

The colour itself is quite orange-peach and doesn’t show up caramel enough on the lips. It will suit light to medium skin tones but had the tendency to bring out the green and grey tones in the skin. Will suit well with makeup and a light base but can look odd on bare skin with hyperpigmentation.

As for the formula- it’s crumbly and dry. It sits well on the lips but the first 20 minutes but starts fading from the inner parts as soon as you eat or drink something. The pigment is also lacking as I needed 2 layers to make-up for the patchiness. While the lipstick itself is light and non-sticky, I would have to think twice before repurchasing it.

I bought it at a discount, hence- I will be using it. However, knowing what I know now, I will never buy it at full price of 1299 rupees.

Review- 6/10 (deducted with original price in mind)
