I’ve known lipsticks for long. And I’ve know matt ones more than other kind. The beauty of the hue on your lips quickly converts into a nightmare once you try and remove them. Not the case with the brand’s ultra mattes. With their intense colour pay-off, they comes off as quickly as they glide evenly on the surface of the lips.
This one pays tribute to women, who through the ages, have set an example with their grit and grace. Take Cleopatra, Diana, Helen, Venus, Noor, Nefertiti, the classic beauty of Audrey (Hepburn), Marilyn Monroe, Monalisa, and Princess Grace, these symbolise their strong character a through strong, highly pigmented colour palate.
Each stick contains 4.2 g of lipstick enriched with Vitamin E. Unfortunately, they’re not transfer proof but are long lasting.
Though the product doesn’t make the lips chalky, prolonged usage does lead to development of small abrupt cracks.
The product is cruelty-free. My personal recommendation would be Helen, which is nude shade paying ode to the Helen of Troy. It is the celebration of her natural beauty.
Then I loved Monalisa, a pink shade which exemplifies Monalisa’s mischievous brightness.
Cleopatra is a plum shade personifying this Egyptian ruler who was a muse for many in the field of the arts and beauty.
Finally, Marilyn, a red with a lot of depth, just like the American, brings the beauty of a women alive. For an extra sizzle, apply a couple of coats.
For an extra dose of glamour, a coat of nude lip gloss brightens the matt shade, giving you greater shade options. Availability: Nykaa.com and across all Nykaa stores.
