No matter what mood you’re in, lipstick can make you feel like a million bucks! If you’re looking for an affordable daily wear matte lipstick, I’ve got news. Lakme has launched a new matte finish lipstick in its Enrich range, and I tried a bunch of shades to give you a detailed review of how this product performs and fares. Curious to find out more? Here’s what you need to know!
India’s no.1 Lakme Enrich lipsticks are now available in a matte format and are everything a girl needs for picture-perfect lips. It’s available in 25 vibrant and trendy shades. These are long-lasting and designed to give an even and luscious finish to your lips. Enriched with Vitamin E, the creamy matte textured lipstick does not drag on or dry the lips and instead leaves them feeling hydrated.
Features And Benefits
Lakme claims that its Enrich Matte lipstick offers the following features and benefits:
Packaging
This lipstick comes in a matte silver colored plastic case with a clear cap. Its cap shuts tightly, making it travel-friendly and easy to carry around in your purse. The lipstick tube comes in a silver cardboard box with the product description, but Lakme hasn’t mentioned the ingredient list anywhere. Its silver carton looks more attractive than the tube itself. On the whole, the lipstick feels very plasticky and cheap to hold, much like a tester. Lakme could’ve done a better job on this front. But for its price, I suppose we get what we pay for.
My Experience With Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick
I had tried the Lakme Enrich Satin lipsticks before, and when I heard about its new matte range, I was quite excited to give these a shot because I prefer matte formulas for daily wear. I picked this up in four shades and here’s what I thought of this lipstick.
This lipstick formula has a creamy, soft texture with an almost powdery formulation. It’s easy to use and glides smoothly on the lips without tugging or pulling. Also, I noticed that some shades go on differently than others – some of them are a pure matte while a few are on the semi-matte side.
Much like the Lakme Enrich Satin finish lipsticks, these have a sweet, flowery yet very cosmetic-like fragrance. If you are sensitive to smell, this may bother you. However, it fades within a few minutes of application.
Pigmentation And Performance
The pigmentation of these lipsticks is quite decent. However, it takes a minimum of two to three swipes of the formula to achieve a fully opaque finish – this especially applies to the lighter shades from the range. The formula is neither too dry nor too moisturizing, and so it feels comfortable to wear. However, one major drawback of this lipstick is that it highlights dry areas on the lips because of its powdery texture and also settles into lip lines. It also fades unevenly through the day, leaving an intense stain that is so hard to remove.
Staying Power
It stays on for around three to four hours with light snacks in between. It definitely needs a retouch after heavy meals like most lipsticks.
Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick Shades
This lipstick formula comes in a range of 25 vibrant shades to suit every skin tone – from pinks to reds and nudes to mauves, you have a whole bunch of options to choose from. To make it easier, here’s what each shade stands for – BM: Brown matte, RM: Red matte, WM: Wine matte, PM: Pink matte and OM: Orange matte.

Will I Recommend This Product?
If you’re on a budget and are looking for a matte finish lipstick, the Lakme Enrich Matte finish lipstick is something you could try. However, if your priority is the quality of the formula and its overall performance, you could give this a miss as it’s a very average product. If you have dry lips with lip lines, it’s best to avoid this lipstick.
