Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Review

• Email

   

Revlon has always been the center of attention when it comes to lip products. For any beauty addict who’s obsessed with makeup, Revlon is the ideal brand to splurge on for high quality cosmetics. Founded in 1932, Revlon is an All-American brand that not only deals with cosmetics but hair care, skin care and fragrances. The brand is easily available in drugstores in the states and Europe with its range of beauty products. In Pakistan, you can find a range of hair care product from hair color to hair tools and of course makeup.

There are tons of makeup goodies from Revlon that is worth spending over, the Super Lustrous Lipstick range is just one of the few gems from the brand. These rich and luxurious lipsticks are perfect for winter since the moisture packed lipsticks leave the lips looking and feeling hydrated.

The packaging of the Super Lustrous range is nothing but elegant. It reminds me of a time when I was a kid and I use to watch my mom apply lipstick, the metallic gold casing gives these lipsticks a classic generation appeal.

With plenty of shades in the range, you can be sure to find exactly what you are looking for. For lighter shades, keep your skin tone in mind when selecting a shade. For pale skin tones any shade you choose from light pinks to coral will compliment your complexion. For deep skin beauties, opt for red and burgundy shades to enhance your skin tone. The rule of thumb with lipstick matching is to wear cool tone shades if your skin is on the pale side while tanned skin tones should embrace warm tone hues.

The brand strives to promote healthy lip care since their products are infused with natural ingredients to keep your lips from drying.  Formulated with vitamins to give a silky smooth texture, these lipsticks are a treat for the lips. The line carries a wide range of shades to match your mood accordingly. From strikingly bold shades such as Fire and Ice and Raspberry Bite along with delicate nudes such Apricot Fantasy and Porcelain Pink.

My personal favorite from the range is Peach Me, the soft coral shade has a hint of golden shimmer that gives the lips an utterly glossy look. The lipstick doesn’t enhance any fine lines on the lips or chapped lips. Applying Super Lustrous Lipsticks you can expect a very creamy formula that is very buildable. There isn’t any scent to these which I was glad since scented lipsticks always bother me. The pigmentation depends on your skin tone, if you are looking to try out a red lip go for a warmer pink almost on the dark side. The staying power of these lipsticks are on the average side, say about 2 hours. If you choose to not eat or drink during you can getaway with 3 hours tops. The lack of longetivity of these lipsticks are a downside, however you can expect that with any hydrating lipstick formula since they hardly cling on the lips for long.

If you find yourself with a mismatched lipcolor, say a pale hue, apply a deep rose lipliner before applying the lipstick since it’ll cause a change of color to the lipstick. For a lip color that is darker for your skin tone, dab a small amount on your lips using your finger for a stained effect.

Abroad Revlon Cosmetics are easily available at any drugstore, however in Pakistan the prices are higher as compared to brands like Rimmel London and Catrice Cosmetics.

Priced at 1,050rs you can find Revlon Color Cosmetics at various locations across Karachi including Scentsation and Farid’s.
