MY TAKE ON NYKAA METALLIC LIQUID LIPSTICK AND EYESHADOW:
Packaging:
The lipstick comes in a cute little tube-packaging with doe foot applicator. Very easy to carry and can fit in your small wallet too!
Texture and Pigmentation:
The consistency of this product is really creamy and it glides like butter on the lips. Pigmentation is amazing and one swipe is enough for a full coverage finish. Sets to a non-drying matte finish with a visible metallic shine. Smudgeproof and waterproof.
How I use and after-effects:
To use, simple swipe the applicator across your lips and let it set for a few minutes. The lipstick sets matte yet is non-drying and is smudge proof.
Franky speaking, I was never a big fan of metallic lipsticks and I never even liked using them. Ever since I have tried these Nykaa Matte to Last! Mini Metallic Liquid Lipstick and Eyeshadow, I am in love! The shades are all so flattering and great for Indian skin tones. None of the shades would wash out warm Indian skin tones like most of the metallic lipsticks do. Keeping the shades aside, even the formula and texture is superb. It does not feel drying at all and stays put all day long. When you eat oily food, it can fade a little from the center of the lips.
The range has 8 beautiful shades, briefed below-
Firework- This is a crimson-rusty red and perfect for those who do not like a bright red lip.
Poker Face- A beautiful champagne metallic nude. Perfect for Indian festivals and also for Bridal occasions.
Umbrella- This is a true pink metallic lipstick and looks so subtle and beautiful. I can use this on a casual day too for sure!
Thank You, Next- This is a deep-dull pink shade with subtle metallic sheen.
Can’t Be Tamed- This is a beautiful metallic purple-burgundy shade and every mom’s favorite I am sure! I never really enjoy wearing purple shades but oh girl! I want to wear this.
Skyfall- This shade has to be my favorite shade from the range. It is a beautiful deep brown metallic shade. I do not usually wear brown shades but this one is something!
Single Ladies- Think of it as a metallic Ruby Woo shade. The metallic sheen isn’t too much and is quite subtle, Perfect! Exactly as I would love it.
I Like It- A mauve metallic shade that is more towards pink. Perfect for a subtle yet glamour look.
I tried using these as eye-shadows and they work absolutely perfect! Just apply, bend with fingers and finish off with a brush to smoke out. They set after a few minutes and stays put all day long.
I give these metallic lipsticks a big thumbs up and highly recommend you try them out! I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
