Catrice Ultimate Color Lipsticks - Review

Hey Guys! I am super excited to share these lipsticks with you today because I have loved this range from Germany based brand, Catrice, for a long time and I finally got the chance to lay my hands on these beauties! I think this formula and the awesome shade selection is going to perfect for all sorts of weather. Read on to find out why they have captured my heart!

Product Claims

Highly-pigmented, rich shades with perfect coverage and shine, plus a smooth, creamy and long-lasting texture: color at its most beautiful – that lasts for hours. Available for the first time: two matt nuances is coral-pink and orange-red. And: a beautiful pink-nude shade.

What Do I Think?

Rarely does a product come along that ticks all the boxes. Ladies, I believe I have found the perfect lipstick! The packaging is luxurious, sturdy and really helpful too. I love the classy black design and how the bottom is the same color as the bullet with the shade name and number on it, encased in a crystalline structure. The formula was super creamy which is why this is the first time I did not apply a lip balm underneath a lipstick. It still turned out fabulous! The lasting power is quite nice too because it lasts around 4 hours and even stays almost completely intact through a light snack. It has a mild sweet berry scent which is quite pleasant and does not linger at all. The shades I got were all creamy and suit my neutral toned skin well. I got three shades which I will be showing you today so hold on to your hearts lipstick lovers!

Berry Bradshaw

This is a deep intense berry color. This will look good on every skin tone, some more than others. It is great for sophisticated mature looks and also vampy ones. Every girl needs a little Sex and the City in their lives right?

Pinkadilly Circus

What a cute name! This a fresh bright pink color that is the perfect balance between warm and cool so I am pretty sure it will look good on everyone. It is actually deeper than it looks in the swatches. 

The Lips are on Fire

Aptly named because it is a fiery coral that will make people wonder if you are wearing pink or orange? Quite the chameleon! It will look on neutral and cool tones because it is almost neon so warmer toned beauties should definitely swatch it before buying it.

Fall Look: Romantic Vs. Glam

It fall time, yay! And that calls for some warm eyes and bold lips ;) I was experimenting with makeup the other day and came up with TWO looks that could be achieved simply by the change of lip colour! Yes you read it right. J Without further delay let’s have a look on what I came up with.

Face

Garnier B. B. Cream (Light)

Essence Mattifying Compact Powder (Natural Beige 01)

Luscious Studio Secret Instant Brightening Concealer (No. 2)

MUA Blusher (Lolly)

Eyes

BH Cosmetics 120 Colour Eye Shadow Palette 5^th Edition

MUA Professional Eyes Primer

Essence Eyeliner Pen Extra Longlasting

Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara

MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner (Rich Brown)

Essence Stays No Matter What Eyepencil and Shadow (07 Whipped White Frosting)

Sweet Touch Eyelash Adhesive

Kryolan Eye Lashes (TV-5)

Lips

WetnWild Lipsticks (In The Flesh and Cherry Bomb)

Lid: Copper gold

Crease 1: Pale gold

Crease 2: Matte plum

Inner Corner: Champagne

Brow-bone: Pale silver

1. Apply primer and prepare your brows.

2. Apply the warm gold Lid colour all over your lids.

3. Blend it out with Crease 1 colour, add Crease 2 colour and blend some more.

4. Deepen the crease with Crease 2 colour until desired depth is achieved.

5. Apply Inner Corner colour and Brow-bone colour to highlight inner corners and brow bone. Add Lid colour some more in the centre of your lid to bring back the intensity lost during blending.

6. Apply the Lid colour on your lower lash line, a white or champagne pencil on your waterline to make your eyes appear larger and a deep brown pencil or matte shadow on the out part of your lower lash line for extra dimension.

7. Finish off with eyeliner 
and mascara on upper and bottom lashes 
(I added lashes cut in half on the outer part of my eyes only to give them extra volume without overdoing, since I have sparse lashes).

The Final Look

After you are done with the eyes, 
conceal your under eyes, apply foundation or BB cream you desire, 
powder to mattify, a peachy-coral blush like MUA Lolly and lipstick.

A tip for newbies: 
After you are done with the eye makeup, 
take a Q-tip and remove the eye-shadows below your eyeliner 
wing that will give your eyes more cleaner and defined look.

And here is the finished look with 
WetnWild “In The Flesh” to give it a soft romantic touch 
and WetnWild “Cherry Bomb” for that extra glamorous look. ;)
