Review of L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Le Matte Lip Pen in She's So Matte!
As far as I am concerned there are 2 kinds of Indian skintones, the ones that suit MAC Cosmo (and Mehr) and the ones that don't. I fall into the latter category and because of shades like these I have always believed that pink-ish nudes would never look good on me...
I believe I have also done a post (or two?) on Cosmo and Mehr and how horrendous they look on me.
MAC Cosmo Look
MAC Mehr Look
These shades put me off of nude pinks for years until I chanced upon the L'Oreal Paris Le Matte Lip Pen in She's So Matte a week ago and it changed my life... The shade as you can tell is a gorgeous, matte nude pink and it would look flattering on fair to medium skin tones. I really can't say how it would look on darker skin shades, unfortunately.
I posted a couple of Instagram stories wearing this shade and I have been bombarded with DMs asking about the shade! So that's testimony enough about how beautiful the shade is ^_^
Price of L'Oreal Paris Le Matte Lip Pens
They cost INR 750The L'Oreal Paris Le Matte Lip Pens are exactly what they are called; they are matte lip colors in a pen like packaging that twists up and down to reveal or hide the product. They come in a variety of shades ranging from nudes to pinks to reds.
Texture wise they feel a lot like Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Gradation Pens. They glide on smoothly and dry up into a powdery, almost velvety finish that feels not only light an fluffy but is also not drying... It literally feels like you are not wearing anything on your lips at all!
The Maybelline ones however applied smoother than these L'Oreal ones.
The staying power is good enough and I have noticed that the product needs to retouched only after a significant number of hours and a hearty Indian lunch. The lippy survives coffee and sandwiches very well!
