Revlon Retro Red Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick Review

What do you all do amp up your pretty face?? In my case I believe either bright pink or perfect red lips have amazing face transforming abilities in other words basically can brighten up your face . Personally I am a girl who is crazy about matte lipsticks and I do take a lot of time to decide which to buy since matte lipsticks can dry out your lips. So finally a day came in my life where I decided to move out of my comfort zone which is the pink lips [ totally love bright pink lipsticks]  and give a try to red lipsticks therefore ended up buying the Revlon Retro Red Lipstick from their super lustrous range since heard a lot of positive views of Revlon lip formulations .

I purchase mine from the health and glow Revlon counter   in city centre at Hyderabad which is priced at INR 550/-  for 4.2 gms  and they are easily available  online at discounted rates do give it a try you won’t be disappointed .

Packaging – Packaging is quite classy, it comes in a normal tube lipstick form which is in black color and with the brand name ‘Revlon’ written on the golden part which appears chic and the shade name written on the bottom. Anyhow I always loved Revlon products packaging they come up with impressive  packaging  being a drugstore product .

The Revlon super lustrous range has a variety of shades and formulations to choose from including matte to shiny lipsticks. It is quite understated brand but I was literally stunned by the formulation of this pretty red matte  lipstick which exactly matched my criteria. It does not have any sought of smell to it .

Shade:  Revlon Retro Red is a pretty neutral classic red not completely dark or light red just plain red which will compliment all skin tones easily.

Pigmentation & Texture :  The pigmentation of this lipstick  is incredible. One swipe gave me the red I wanted and of course you can always build it up to get maximum intensity. Although its not completely transfer proof lipstick but once applied and then blotting up makes it transfer proof. I love its texture its non drying creamy matte and looks stunning on lips .I can say it as a dupe of classic MAC Ruby Woo as I have heard Revlon lipsticks’ do have variety of shades which are closer to mac lipsticks. For matte lipsticks lovers like me this lipstick will be your bestfriend .

Staying power- An additional ability with which I am impressed is the staying power Revlon Retro Red had lasted me for 5 hours. The color did fade a little but  it dint dry my lips or made them look patchy , which is what I always wanted in a matte lipstick .

Overall Thoughts

I am literally obsessed with Revlon Retro Red 004 Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick whenever I wear it people do ask me about it,  I would say Pairing this beautiful red shade with classic golden eyes or just plain jet black winged liner, with loads of mascara  would definitely make you stand out .
