Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color Hautie Review & Swatch

It was Halloween time and we had huge celebration at office. I decided to go as the Devil's Bride and the obvious choice was red colored attire. I knew my look would be incomplete without a red lip color. Though I have few red shades, I went looking for a perfect red lip shade to suit the occasion. That is when I swatched Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color Hautie 024 and it impressed me a lot. I bought it right away because of its wonderful shade. It also happens to be my first Colorbar product and I can't wait to review it here.

My Experience With Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color Hautie:

Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color Hautie consists of two different products in two different vials which are connected together. One container consists of the red lip color and the other container consists of the clear gloss. The lip color comes with a sponge applicator and the gloss comes with a brush applicator. The consistency of the lip color is smooth, creamy and feels like butter when applied. The shade is a proper blood red which is very opaque. One swipe with the sponge applicator gives a dense coverage making it the love of girls with pigmented lips. Once the red color gets dried it gives a gorgeous matte look, but makes the lips feel extremely tight.

It has to be topped with a gloss to avoid that tight look and feel. The gloss adds shine to the lips and makes them look moisturized and plump. The glossy layer stays for about 2 hours after which the gloss needs to be re-applied. But the red lip color stays like forever. The color literally refuses to come off.

Colorbar claims that the color comes off with an oil based remover. I think this is the only claim about this product which is not true. Even with an oil based remover it was so hard for me to take it off. It almost felt like scrapping paint off the walls. It freaked me out a lot but with excessive scrubbing it finally came off. Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color comes in four other variants given us a good palette to choose from.

Pros Of Colorbar Extra Durable Lip Color Hautie:

Diva Likes Rating:

3/5

Final Note:

It is a decent product from Colorbar but comes with a huge drawback because it is extremely hard to take it off. Our lips are extremely tender and tugging on to it too much might cause damage. I say you can buy it for the beautiful shades it offers but it is not something we can use often.
