Colorbar USA Velvet Matte Lipstick '#60 or Obsessed Orange’


I finally managed to get my hands on the ‘Obsessed Orange’ shade and I’m super stoked to review it for you ladies.

Since we all are pretty familiar with Colorbar’s Velvet Matte Lipstick packaging, I’m going to skip that. Also, I absolutely love the packaging.



Obsessed Orange is a true orange shade. Not coral, just plain bright orange. In the tube it is super bright but when applied on the lips, its actually quiet flattering. And I’m guessing almost every skin tone can pull this off which is a plus point since not everybody can pull off coral shades.

The texture is very smooth and doesn’t dry fast during application. I like how this shade isn’t very creamy because extremely creamy lipsticks look horrible when they settle down in fine lines especially the bright shade ones. This shade is not chalky and doesn’t dry my lips at all. It doesn’t settle into fine lines. That being said, it isn’t the most moisturizing lipstick. You’ll need a bit of lip balm prior to application. The lipstick stays on semi-matte and for a good 5 hours.



If you are looking for the perfect bright orange lipstick, this has got to be the one. Try it out if you are up for bright shades and you’ll be hooked on it!
