A woman’s obsession with beauty never ends, however slowly but surely women have started appreciating the diversity of beauty, rather than being confined to the beauty standards set by the fashion industry and society at large. This positive change has helped brands experiment and launch products that cater to the diverse customer base without inhibition. Today brands are being bold and launching a range of varying shade options for colour cosmetics so that every woman can find a perfect match for herself.

Colour cosmetics like foundations, concealers and pressed powders are easy to match, however lipsticks can be pretty tricky. Lipsticks tend to look very different on different women due to the undertone of the skin, and the guesswork of whether or not a shade will suit a particular skin tone or not, makes it a gamble. This makes picking the best shade for your skintone extremely difficult. However, the One Colour Obsession lipsticks from Oriflame resolves this issue with the launch of it’s PopShock tones infused with ChromaLoad Technology to give colour intensity that looks appealing on every skin. The lightweight formula provides a weightless gel-crème finish that melts on contact and gives a luminous look and locks-in an eight-hour moisture. The colours available in the range are:

35155 - Nude Appeal 
35156 - Peach Passion
35157 - Pink Possession
35158 - Magenta Mania
35159 - Coral Craze
35160 - Tempting Orange
35161 - Red Rage 
35162 - Red Fever
35163 - Purple Power
35164 - Cherry Crave

The one makeup product that I wear almost every day is the lipstick and I love to experiment with various shades, but my go-to remain peach and nude. Many a times I pick up lip shades that end up looking different on my lips vis-a-vis the packaging or digital images, and I am so disappointed. So when I was sent the new range by Oriflame, I assumed that a shade or two would actually work for me, but to my greatest surprise the Colour Obsession lipsticks have upped my lip game. All the ten shades are a win, for their amazingly bold colours that convey intensity and confidence.

I loved the way all of the shades felt and looked on my lips with its super velvety formula and strong the colour intensity. I fell in love with Peach Passion right off the bat as it smoothly glided on my lips instantly moisturising them while adding the amazing colour. I wore it on a hectic day and I pretty much sailed through the day without a reapplication. I had a friend borrow the shade and it looked a bit different on her, but still absolutely gorgeous. The formula does seem to have a perfect mix of under layers that actually look great on warm, cool and neutral skin tones. Nude Appeal is my dream nude shade, the shade is a notch lighter than my natural lip colour, but better, and Red Rage is definitely the most flattering classic red I've worn in a long time.

Whatever your favourite shade is, you must try the Colour Obsession range for a great look and a much greater feel. So go break the colour rules, pick the Purple Power or the Tempting Orange,  because makeup is ultimately all about feeling beautiful and empowered. 

Until next time,
