Every brand is launching their own versions and amidst this when Chambor recently unveiled new wide range of 18 extreme wear liquid lipsticks, I had to get my hands on it.

MY EXPERENCE
PACKAGING
The packaging looks simple yet classy and convincing. It comes in a black box packaging with directions and ingredients mentioned therein. The tube is flat and rectangular with silver details embossed. It’s transparent glass body helps locating the shades in case you have many, since they have not been given names, I wonder why ,as we relate better to shade names. It is number coded at bottom of the tube. Cap is glossy black with twist-up wand mechanism. It has a flat foot applicator, perfect for seamless application.
TEXTURE/FORMULA
The texture is quite smooth, saturated and light on the lips. It’s creamy in consistency and feels a lot like the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. It does not just sit on the lips like a sticky gloss neither you get that dry feeling on the lips .The lipstick turns matte after around 60 seconds after application so you have plenty of time to work with it. Once it sets, it is matte, smudge proof, transfer proof and long wearing. If you have ultra-dry lips, then please, exfoliate, moisturize, and then apply! It does not emphasize lip lines, doesn’t crack on the lips.
Color payoff is excellent and one swipe gives super opaque, even color coverage to the lips. It is little glossy when applied but settles and dries down to a matte finish. It was only after I had oily food, the center lower lip lost a little shade which I mended with touch ups and it didn’t look cakey or patchy on re-application. After about 5 hours I felt a little dry which is not an issue for me however I would definitely suggest a lip balm underneath to avoid the lips getting dry. Also, it would be nice if you scrub the lips to form an even base for the color.These have a mild delicious scent to them which fades away after application.
PIGMENTATION
The lipstick is extremely pigmented and covers even the pigmented lips well. Makes them look even, that too in one swipe, so no need to put layers.
LASTING POWER
Coming to the staying power, it stayed on my lips for almost the entire day till the time I removed it myself with a makeup remover. Once set, it does not smudge. All you need is an oil-based makeup remover or olive oil to take it off, and it does not leave any stain behind. Post- meals there was slight fading of lip color as I said.
SHADES
The shade range is narrow and I so badly wish if they could include some fresh summer shades. However, this shade 483 is a quite flattering and unique shade. It’s a mauve with rust brown undertones, perfect for those Office days as it looks so muted and formal. I like the brown undertone it carries, Kylie type of a shade. This is my go-to color and I reach out for this shade every now and then. Pair up with a dark kohl and there you are! Each shade has a number instead of name which is bad, thankfully a transparent body comes to rescue.
HOW TO APPLY
Owing to the matte formulation, exfoliating and moisturizing lips with a good balm before applying is important. Apply lip balm few minutes before, but don’t forget to wipe off the excess as it might interfere in smooth application of lipstick. I used a matching lip liner to define my lips and then filled up. Hold the applicator vertical beginning from the Cupid’s bow, follow the lip line towards the corner of the lips. Then fill in the entire lips with the deep intense color for a Smooth Matt finish. It helps your lipstick last longer and also helps in easier application and covers shaky hand movements. A little practice however would fix it.
HOW TO REMOVE
It’s a task to get rid of this, as you can’t just rub off with makeup remover or wipe away with cotton. The trick is to apply Vaseline, coconut or olive all over your lips, massage well and then wipe the leftovers with clean cloth or use an oil based makeup remover. Use balm after removing any matte lipstick for that matter to regain the natural moisturization of lips.
PROS
Sleek elegant transparent packaging.
Opaque and rich pigmentation.
Little goes a long way.
Lightweight
Ultra matte look.
No disturbing smell.
Smudge proof and non-transferrable
Decently priced for quality and quantity it comes in
CONS
Shade range has not much to offer. If you love reds, nudes and rust there are quite a lot of variants for you to try.
Difficult to remove.
Lip Prepping is a must.
Could have designated a name rather than a number
Honestly speaking, there is nothing to complain about these lipsticks except they may settle into fine lines but then these are ultra-matte and one can deal this by prepping up your lips before application.
Overall ,I am glad Chambor came up with these awesomely formulated matte, opaque, highly pigmented, and long-wearing formula that doesn’t feather or bleed, quite comfortable to Carry .Most of the colors are made for Indian skin tones. However the range misses some good summery pepped up colors. Still I am totally obsessed with this lipsticks.
Though the price tag is a bit high, but you get a good amount of the product and a real long wearing formula, so the price is justified. And true to their claim, these are long lasting, liquid matte lipsticks that pack a ton of pigment and wear all day long! They are now available online, you can find them at lifestyle stores all over India as well.
Rating 4.5/5
Will I repurchase? Yes, I would love to pick more shades!
Editor’s Note: I just got the shade 402 Devika and absolutely love it, there are 2-3 shades in this range which are Kylie’s Lip Kit Dupe in India and formula wise, also quite similar. Loved the review!
Have you checked out the Chambor Extreme Wear Transfer Proof Liquid Lipstick? It’s definitely a must have!
