Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Colors Review & Swatches

Brand Claims:For a precision pro-matte finish, line your lips with the Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Liner before applying the Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color. Sets a flawless base and evens out your lips for smooth application. Highly pigmented shades that have rich and intense color payoff. Delivers a fine matte finish on your lips that last up to 12 hours.

My Review 

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Colors is soft matte lip formula housed in gorgeous rose-gold packaging with standard swiveling mechanism. Base of the lipstick bears the name of the shade and lipstick bullet is slant topped which follows curve of lips and gives neat application. Packaging is almost similar to original 9 to 5 matte lip colors albeit it’s slightly more pink this time.

Lakme launched 30 shades in this collection and some shades are carry over from previous matte lipcolor collection. To test new primer matte version against older formula, I have picked two shades that were part of previous collection too.The collection itself seems to have repetitive shades of reds and brights with couple of neutrals which is slightly disappointing as the previous range had gorgeous nudes like Oak table,Peony goal and Tea break. Women of all age groups and all skin tones however will be able to find couple of shades for regular as well as festive wear.

Texture of Lakme Primer Matte lipsticks is soft creamy ( not buttery creamy) which applies smoothly on lips. Lipstick feels light weight on lips and imparts lovely velvety matte finish. Almost all the shades have medium pigmentation and I get complete opacity on my lips in two swipes with darker shades whereas for lighter shades like Caramel cut , Saffron gossip I need to build up color on my slightly pigmented lips so get opacity in 3-4 swipes.  Lipstick applies uniform, does not accentuate fine lip lines  or leave any powdery residues in lips lines . As I tested two similar shades ( old & new) for finish and formula, New Lakme Primer + Matte lipsticks apply tad smoother than older version whereas there is hardly any difference in finish and longevity of formula. 

Darker shades last on my lips for 5-6 hours whereas lighter shades survive for 3-4 hours. The lipsticks never set in complete matte finish as they transfer even after hours of application.However being matte they do not bleed or smudge as such. Shades like Brick Blush,Scarlet Surge disappear leaving stain on my lips which comes out easily with any good makeup remover.

VANILLA RATINGS 9/10

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Colors are soft creamy formula that applies without drag and feels comfortable on lips. Formula has medium pigmentation for all the 10 shades I have tried . Lipsticks give  powder- free velvety matte finish and stay for decent long time on my lips. These lipsticks are ideal for dry lips beauties and for mature ladies as the primer in the formula fills up the lines gives uniform , cushiony finish without accentuating dryness. Grab some pinks for ongoing summers, red/plum for impending fall from this collection. Must check !!
