Coloressence Mesmerizing Lip Color Hot Look Review

As they say, put on a red lipstick and live a little. This is a statement for every pretty soul out there. Red is the color of every season. We girls are never satisfied with one kind of red lipstick in our stash. And why should we be when we have so many brands to explore? One such brand is Coloressence. I have, by now, acquired quite some products from them and my huge Diva Likes haul had pretty appealing red lipsticks waiting to be reviewed. Today I am going to review the shade Hot Look and by the name I am sure you guess that the color is definitely not going to be a sober one! Let's see what kind of red lip color it is and apprehend the product in detail.

My Experience With Coloressence Mesmerizing Lip Color Hot Look:

Packaging: Encased in a matte black twist up functional tube, the lipstick has quite a decent outlook as far as the packaging of the product is concerned. The shade name and number are written at the bottom and thus it is easy to identify the shade.
Shade: The shade Hot Look is a true rich deep red with a hint of cherry and maroon. It has a very different undertone to it and unexpectedly looks wonderful on every skin tone. It is a kind of red that totally brightens up your face and more of a night color than a day because of its richness. The color has a semi-glossy touch to it without any extra golden sheen. However, it can also be worn as a matte color as well.

Texture: The texture is slightly dry as compared to others but applying it straight from the tube is quite easy. The color accentuated the fine lines and therefore scrubbing of lips prior application is highly recommended. The color starts drying up after few hours as well. Although they mention almond oil as the ingredient, it does little to control the dryness.
Pigmentation: Single swipe covers every pigmentation or blemishes and comes out as opaque. So in one word it is impressive. As a rich and bold color, it bleeds slightly and, therefore, a lip liner might be handy for it.

Staying Power: The color stays for around 4 hours on my lips with snacks and light drinks in between. Post heavy meals, I noticed slight fading but that can be done with light touch ups.
Dupes: I haven't seen any exact dupe of the color, but it is very close to BH Cosmetics True Heart Color Lock Long Lasting Matte Lipstick and L'Oreal Paris Collection Star Reds Pure Rouge. Both these shades are definitely not cost effective and therefore it is an advantage for Coloressence.

Pros Of Coloressence Mesmerizing Lip Color Hot Look:

• Decent packaging.
• A rich cherry red color with maroon undertones.
• Glides smoothly on lips.
• Has a semi-glossy finish.
• SPF 15.
• Superb pigmentation, opaque in a single swipe.
• Staying power is good and requires touch-ups only after heavy meals.
• Cost effective.

Cons Of Coloressence Mesmerizing Lip Color Hot Look:

• Dries and accentuates fine lines.
• Bleeds sometimes.

Diva Likes Rating:

4.5/5

Final Note:

A deep cherry red is something that was missing in my stash. So I definitely enjoy wearing this lip color for special occasions. Well, there is no end to red lipsticks for us and buying every shade of red from high-end brands isn't possible for everybody. Therefore, this range has all the kinds of red and you should have one at least.
