LAKME Enrich Matte Lipstick PM15 Review, Photos and Swatches

Hello everyone,

Today I am here with a review on the newly launched Lakme Enrich matte lipsticks. Over all there are 20 shades categorized into 5 shade families, i.e. Red Matte (RM), Pink Matte (PM), Orange Matte (OM) WM (Wine Matte), and BM (Brown Matte). You can check the swatches of all the shades here. I have bought two from the range and the one I am going to review today is from their Pink Matte (PM) family and the shade number is 15.

There is a dearth of budget friendly matte lipsticks in India. Not every time we can spend hundreds and thousands of rupees on a matte lipstick to suit our wants and needs, isn’t it? So naturally I was very much eager to lay my hands on these beauties.

So let us see if Lakme could come up to my expectations or not…

Price:
295 INR

Packaging:-
The lipstick comes housed in a plastic silver case with a clear cap. The bullet case further comes inside a shiny silver box. I didn’t like the packaging much as it looks more like a tester.

Color:-
A stunning, flamboyant and vivid hot pink that just wakes up my complexion.

Texture and Finish:-
It has an amazing texture. Soft, smooth and glides like a dream. It goes without tugging or pulling. When applied freshly it has a satiny, semi- matte finish and about 30 minutes later it settles into a powdery matte finish. But what I like most is that despite being a matte lipstick, it didn't feel dry. But one thing, as it settles in a true matte finish, lips need to be well exfoliated and moisturized before applying as this product can sink into the lip lines and accentuate lines, chapped areas.

Color Payoff and Staying Power:-
Insanely pigmented and one swipe is enough for the full coverage. It stayed for about 7 hours on my lips with snacks and drinks in between. After that it left a pretty pink tint behind. The tint can only be removed with a makeup remover.

Summing up my Likes and Dislikes:-

LIKES:-

• Stunning color.
• Soft texture.
• Feels extremely smooth and comfortable on lips.
• Gorgeous, comfortable matte finish.
• Opaque in one swipe.
• Stays pretty long.
• Budget friendly.
• Easily available.

DISLIKES:-

• The smell. It reminds me of a cough syrup I used to hate during my childhood days.
• The packaging could be improved.

Final Thoughts:-
Lakme has done a really commendable job in shade selection this time. From reds, pinks, oranges to browns, wine and purples, they are available in a palette of 20 vibrant and trendy shades.
Talking about PM15, the color is gorgeous; the texture is amazing, settles into a matte finish and stays long. And the best part is it doesn’t burn your pocket. What else do I need?

Recommendation?!!
We don’t get good, affordable matte lipsticks in India and this one solves the problem. So if you want a great matte lip color that comes at an unbeatable drugstore price and that doesn’t make your lips feel like deserts then this range is for you.
