Hello lovelies! Today I will be reviewing the Luscious super moisturizing lipsticks from a much loved local brand known for its affordable prices yet great quality. Also, since I have quite a collection of these, today will be a small lesson on what lip colors suit what skin tones. I am no expert but I have learnt from my mistakes and hope to help those who are often confused like me when it comes to shade selection.
Product Claims
A creamy and
moisturizing formula enriched with Vitamin E and Grape Seed Oil for healthy
lips. Designed for all day comfort and natural color results. Each shade is now
a celebrity! Available in 20 satin-finish, shimmer and glossy shades.

What Do I Think?
I
like how the design is simple yet not cheap to look at and the Luscious logo is
a nice touch. There are a lot of good things to say about this range and I
think the best part is that they are fragrance free so no one has to avoid them
just because of an undesirable scent. The first thing I probably look for in
any lip product is the pigmentation. I think this is one of the most heavily
pigmented lipsticks I have ever tried. The creaminess plays a part in this I
feel because it glides on so effortlessly that I don’t have to keep swiping it
over my lips to get good color payoff. I was really happy that it lived up to
its claim of being super moisturizing. It has an average staying power of about
3-4 hours with minimal eating and drinking. It is unfortunate that the staying
power is affected in hot and humid weather and that is my only issue because
the weather here is mostly hot. This can be remedied by using a lip liner
underneath and making sure you don’t load up too much of the product on your
lips.
What Colors to Choose for Your Skin tone?
The
arm swatches above are on my neutral skin and today my sister will be the cool
toned model while my blog partner Fizzah represents the warm toned dusky
beauties. The lip swatches below will show you how a color looks completely
different on a person with another skin tone. While picking out a lip color for
yourself, go with the age old philosophy “Nature knows best”. Study your
natural lip color. If it has more pink, you know that pink tones are a safe
bet for you, if it has more brown in it then choose one where brown tones are
more prominent. It can be tricky to find a balanced color that suits you perfectly.
The
tones in your lip color should match those of your skin for example, cool toned
people should go for cool lip shades. If cool toned women go for darker warmer
shades they might look too harsh on them and cooler lighter lip colors clash
with warm toned skin and may even wash them out. All the lip swatches have been
taken in daylight. I hope you guys find this useful.
Sunset
Pink
It is a peachy neutral beige color.
Its full intensity shows up on cool
tones. It has a white base so it clashes with the yellow tones in neutral and
warm skin tones.

Honeydew
It is a warm latte.
The yellow tones in neutral and warm
skin tones absorb the brown color making it appear lighter. It is a beautiful
nude for warm tones.

Haute
Pink
It is a bright pink shade.
The red tones of this shade are more
prominent on a cool toned person and it looks pinker as the warmth of the skin
tone increases. It looks great on everyone though.

Just
Peachy
It is a medium peach color.
On a darker
warm toned person it appears much lighter, almost as a pretty everyday medium
to nude color depending on your depth.

Dreams
It is a mocha pink shade.
An ideal every
day color for a dark warm toned person but the brown in it shows up a lot more
on neutral and cool skin tones.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your appreciation and encouragement :) Yes it is one of our favourite brands. Great stuff at affordable rates! Yes Sunset pink actually depends more on how fair you are as compared to what your tone is. It really suits people with fair skin and yellow tones :)
DeleteNice share. All the colors are lovely
ReplyDeleteThank you Kiran! We love them too :)
DeleteAmazing! I'm just so happy to have seen something local like this on three different undertones ^_^ Now I want to see EVERY lipstick that way! Good effort, worth reading! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was great fun for us too and a different angle. Keep letting us know what you people would like to see in future posts :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for you kind words :) As we are relatively new to makeup, we try to show people what we have learned and how they can relate to it.
DeleteI need to get Just Peachy! Amazing lip swatches! Every time I am at the Luscious counter, all the shades I need to get escape my mind and that's why I don't own a lipstick from them yet! :/ x

DeleteEven though I had commented on this before, seeing it again ... WOW! This should be your thing, believe me! Show us all lipstick swatches as Warm/Neutral/Cool toned ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the love :* :* :* We would be able to do this for when we have more lippies from a certain range. Sadaf ropes in her elder sister for the cool toned swatches so it depends on her cooperation you see :D So glad you appreciated our effort. It was back-breaking quite literally!
