Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick Asia , 4g for Rs 215, available at Slassy.comWhat Rimmel London Says
Colour that turns heads! Intense long lasting colour for up to 8 hours wear +25% colour impact! Smooth creamy texture for comfortable wear all day longShade – Asia is a pinkish nude shade. This particular shade would suit fair to medium skin tones, may wash out medium to dark complexions. Sometimes it looks good on me and some days it makes me look dull. It has strong citrus scent.Texture & Formula – Asia glides on smoothly without turning patchy or uneven. I found finish to be on Satin side, it has no shimmers/ glitters and doesn’t look frosty whatsoever. The formula is neither drying nor moisturizing. It feels a bit heavy on lips. I liked how it doesn’t settle in fine lines neither accentuates them. I was expecting it to be moisturizing with buttery texture.Pigmentation – Asia has good pigmentation. It goes opaque in single swipe, I like layering it up twice to get even color on lips. It covers lip pigmentation/ darkness really well.
Staying Power – Contrary to its claims of 8 hours stay, it didn’t last on me for more than 4 hours. I believe if one doesn’t eat or drink anything while wearing it on, staying power could increase by an hour or two. I simply can’t see it holding on for more than 4-5 hours in any case. The shade starts fading from the middle of lips (once you have snacks or meal).
What I liked
- Lasting Finish range has 18 shades to choose from
- Cheap
- Formula doesn’t settle in fine lines neither accentuates them.
- Glides on smoothly and evenly.
- Good pigmentation
- A great Nude shade for fair to medium skin tones.
Area of Improvement
- Availability , available online (slassy.com) or selected stores.
- Strong citrus-y scent
- Formula is not moisturizing, Its my personal preference as I always fall for buttery smooth texture and moisturizing formulas.
Overall Thoughts
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick Asia is a great budget lipstick, and the range has 18 shades to choose from. However because of the formula not being moisturizing , I am not seeing myself wearing this often.
Ratings : 3.5/5
