My Take Time: Coloressence Mesmerising Lip Color in BRICK RED

hey beauties...
Now that I am in India, I have been using a few Indian brands. And when it comes trying new brands, I always try their lipsticks first. This may be because I am a crazy lipstick addict....
Today I will be sharing my views on Coloressense Lipstick.
This is a perfect time of the year to wear Coloressense Lipsticks, coz they are Matte and summers are best to wear Matte Lipsticks.
While going through the lipstick stacks, I loved this shade no. 67 BRICK RED
Its a pretty Orangy Red shade and as I said earlier its Matte.



PACKAGING,PRICE and AVAILABILITY
  • Coloressense Lipsticks comes with a Black packaging with a transparent/clear base which gives an actual glimpse of the shade.
  • Its available at all Coloressense counters and retails at Rs 125
SWATCH TIME



VERDICT
  • It has a MATTE finish.
  • I have read many posts that its drying on lips, but for me it wasn't so drying. May be because I applied it on top of a lip balm.
  • Mild herbal scent
  • Very well pigmented
  • Staying power isn't that great. Stays on for 3-4hours but wipes out as soon as you eat/ drink something.
  • Affordable
  • Its vegetarian and contains some herbal things. If that makes a difference for you.
Well I will definitely love to try other shades, but first I would try other brands and then will come back to coloressence.

Summer Series : Summer Bronzed Eyes with a Pop

hey lovelies...
Today's look is a Bronzed makeup look with a pop up. So with a basic bronzed eye, I applied a BLUE eyeliner. You can use pretty much any shade of liner / even a bright lips to give a pop up to the basic bronze eye.
So have a look.....




  • Prime your eyes.
  • Apply a layer of Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in BRONZE to create a base.
  • Apply a BRONZE shade all over the lid.
  • Next take a DARK BROWN shade and apply it in the outer V and blend it along the crease.
  • Now take a highlight shade and apply it on the inner corner and extend it to the inner part of lower lash line.
  • For the pop, take any POP UP color eye liner and line the lower lash line.
I used Silkygirl Eyelight Pencil in SKY BLUE for this look. Read my review on all Silkygirl Eyelight pencils here
  • Apply few coats of mascara and your gorgeous summery look is done...
  • Team this look with a PEACH blush and NUDE/PEACH lips.

Summer Series : Bare Classics and Brick Red

hey beauties...Today's look is a pretty basic everyday neutral eye with a pretty bright lips. I used my Silkygirl Block buster Palette in BARE CLASSICS (See Review here ) and for lips I used my Coloressense Lipstick in BRICK RED.






  • Prime your eye lids. I used Nyx Eyeshadow base in Skin Tone.
  • Take a SOFT BROWN and define your crease.
  • Now take a DARK BROWN and apply it to the outer V and blend it along the crease. Blend it with the SOFT BROWN. Take some more DARK BROWN for the outer V if you want the look to be more smokey.
  • For the lid, take a BEIGE shade. Drag this shade to the inner half of the lower lash line.
  • Apply the DARK BROWN shade to the outer half of the lower lash line.
  • Line the upper lash line and water line with a BLACK liner.
  • Apply coats of mascara and your eyes are done.
  • Team this look with a BRONZED cheeks.
  • For lips, moisturise your lips first.

  • Take your fav RED/CORAL lipstick and apply it to your lips. I have choosen an ORANGY RED i.e. Coloressense Lipstick in BRICK RED. 
  • This completes the look
Its apt for everyday wear. You can apply it for any casual outing like shopping, or running some errands or going to watch some movie....
Hope you guys like it...
