Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick: Brink of Pink | Review, Swatches

Price: Rs. 499/- for 4.5 ml

About the product:

This lipstick comes in a transparent plastic tube with a matte black cap encased in a cardboard packaging. The shade name is written at the bottom of the tube. The texture is fine – neither too thick nor too thin. I’ve used few liquid lipsticks and their texture was very patchy! It has a non-existent smell. The doe applicator is feathery, soft and bends for an easy application. It’s small so it gives a precise hold while applying.

Brink of Pink is a plum rose shade which goes towards the darker hue. It is sure to suit any skin tone. It’s more of a party wear shade. In one coat it gives a full spot on pigmentation and coverage. Two coats are just enough to cover the lips. It covers the most pigmented lips just in a swipe. It takes 30 seconds to dry. After that, it settles into a matte finish and lips feel comfortable. I always prep up my lips by scrubbing and applying lip balm and then blot it before applying this liquid lipstick. It is definitely smudge-proof, transfer-proof and date-proof. 😉 

Before drying, still wet!

After drying

Now talking about its staying power, it’s beyond amazing. It stays on my lips until I eat a heavy meal or something oily and after that, it fades only from the center of the lips. The lips might feel dry after few hours. It doesn’t smudge a bit even if I drink something. It takes a good oil-based makeup remover to get completely removed. I’ve noticed that even after removing it, it leaves a pinkish stain behind.
