Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in BARE - Review & Swatches

Hi everyone,
Today I shall be reviewing the Color Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in BARE. Colorbar is a USA based brand but strangely I am not aware that anyone has spotted it there as per my knowledge. I have tonnes of lipsticks in my stash. The shade family & the formula I am looking for has changed over the years.I like matte lipsticks more. This lipsticks claims to be Velvet matte sounds interesting isn't it? I have been using it for quite sometime. Let us find out more in my review today...




Price: Rs.299/- for 4.2 g. Available here





What does Colorbar say about the product:
For a rich lip colour with a creamy shine, the Velvett Matte Lipstick, available in stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keep them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the Velvett Matte Lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.





The lipstick comes in a silver & transparent packaging. The lid is clear and sits well on the lipstick. It does click lock which makes it safe for travelling. The best part is that it has a swatch at the bottom so you can easily identify the shade you are looking for in the stash.Overall nothing much to complain about.




The shade is a Peachy brown shade leaning more towards the brownie side. It has a hint of pink to it which makes it very wearable.  It  smells & tastes somewhat like Cocoa. The formula is unlike the normal lipsticks. It goes on smooth on the lips - remember velvet and then settles on the lips into a semi matte finish. You need to properly exfoliate your lips and make sure they are not dry before you use this lipstick as it could make your chapped lips worse. I usually use a lip balm over or underneath for the same. This lipstick makes a perfect everyday lipstick and can be worn to office. It is not that type of nude which will wash you off. This shade will suit most skin tones. Staying power is 5 hours or more after which it leaves back a nice stain which I am ok with. The only problem with it since it is semi matte it settles into the fine lines on the lips which is the case with most matte lippies but a gloss or lip balm could solve the problem. 

The Good:
Easily available.
Inexpensive
Velvett Matte finish
Goes on smoothly on the lips.
Lasting power is good
Shade perfect for most skin tones
Travel friendly packaging.

The not so Good:
May settle into fine lines of lips as matte in nature
Stains the lips ( I am ok with it though)

Rating: 4.5/5

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in BARE is the perfect pinkie Nude Brown shade which is perfect for all Indian skin tones. It is inexpensive & easily available hence I highly recommend it.
