Beauty review: RENEE Stunner Matte Lipstick, rules smudge-proof scene
What's the story
Lipstick enthusiasts are probably familiar with the awkwardness of leaving lipstick marks on a coffee mug or accidentally transferring it to a friend's cheek after a kiss.
While beauty does come at a cost, Renee's Stunner Matte Lipstick line offers a bold and vibrant collection of shades that are affordable, smudge-proof, and transfer-proof.
Here's my review of High Power and Big Bang.
Claims
About the lipsticks
The lipsticks contain vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. They are also paraben-free, cruelty-free, and vegan.
The long-lasting and weightless formula offers a smooth one-swipe application.
The highly pigmented, matte finish lipstick can stay put for long without fading.
It claims to provide intense coverage while keeping your lips soft and moisturized.
Also, there's an array of shades to complement various moods and occasions.
Color
About the beautiful colors
High Power and Big Bang offer intense color payoff in a single swipe.
High Power features a deep plum shade for bold statements, while Big Bang presents a striking red with a touch of brown exuding confidence.
If you are planning for a luncheon with your gang the former's your bestie, and if you're heading for an office meeting the latter's your choice.
Texture
Feel and texture of the lipsticks
The matte texture of these lipsticks ensures a velvety-smooth application without any clumps or smudging.
They effortlessly glide onto the lips, giving a seamless finish. However, despite being matte, the lipsticks feel surprisingly comfortable on the lips. They do not dry out the lips, thanks to the nourishing formula.
They are totally smudge-proof and partially transfer-proof.
Verdict
All-day glam on a shoestring budget
The shades suit diverse skin tones and can transition from a daytime look to an evening glam.
The lasting effect of these lipsticks is commendable. They hold up pretty well through the day, surviving meals with minimal fading.
If you want a matte finish lip color that will last for hours then you're in for a bargain. Each 4gm lipstick costs only Rs. 399!
