Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick

 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:

  • A creamy matte texture that’s comfortable to wear
  • Finish and delivery of matte lipsticks but the comfort of creme lipsticks
  • No drag-on lips
  • Intense color payoff
  • Available in 25 new shades that are designed to match your skin tone

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.


Pros

  • Feels smooth and soft on the lips
  • Easy to apply
  • Good pigmentation
  • Does not crease
  • Transfers minimally
  • Buildable color
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Settles into lines
  • Highlights dry patches
  • Has a strong fragrance
  • Leaves a stain that’s hard to remove
  • Poor packaging
  • If you have dry lips, this may leave your lips feeling even drier

How To Use Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick?

Here’s how you can achieve the perfect pout using the Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick:

  1. Prep your lips well and moisturize them using a nourishing lip balm.
  2. Start applying the lip color from the center of your upper lip.
  3. Work from the center towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.
  4. Glide across the entire bottom lip.

Shelf Life: 24 months

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.

Why Women Wear High Heels: Evolution, Lumbar Curvature, and Attractiveness

 D espite the widespread use of high-heeled footwear in both developing and modernized societies, we lack an understanding of this behavioral phenomenon at both proximate and distal levels of explanation. The current manuscript advances and tests a novel, evolutionarily anchored hypothesis for why women wear high heels, and provides convergent support for this hypothesis across multiple methods. Using a recently discovered evolved mate preference, we hypothesized that high heels influence women’s attractiveness via effects on their lumbar curvature. Independent studies that employed distinct methods, eliminated multiple confounds, and ruled out alternative explanations showed that when women wear high heels, their lumbar curvature increased and they were perceived as more attractive. Closer analysis revealed an even more precise pattern aligning with human evolved psychology: high-heeled footwear increased women’s attractiveness   only   when wearing heels altered their lumbar curvatur

Sunglasses That Help Your Eyes as Well as Your Look

  Many people my age with lens implants following cataract surgery are thrilled not to have to wear glasses all the time, but I’ve recently gone in the opposite direction. Although at 78 I can still drive and, in good light, even read the newspaper without corrective lenses, I’ve chosen to wear glasses nearly all the time. Within the last two years, I’ve invested in multiple pairs of prescription glasses with progressive “transition” lenses, which darken in sunlight to become sunglasses. They provide visual enhancement and protection  and  serve as a fashion statement. If and when I need to have cataract surgery and require a new prescription, I’ll replace the lenses in my favorite eyeglass frames and continue to wear them. Glasses have in effect become my jewelry, and I’ve been amazed at how many compliments they inspire. But even more amazing is what the glasses have done for the safety and comfort of my eyes, protecting them from dust, bugs, drying breezes and, most important of all
