Studio Color Lipstick Review

Hello everyone!

I just bought lipsticks as one of my haul this month in STAR Departement Store. Before, I won't buy a lipstick, but hey, could you ignore the promo? Buy 1 get 1 as a free. Oh gosh! It's lipstick anyway, who can get enough lipstick?


The beauty assistant of Studio Color claimed that this brand come from German. Well, it's not familiar brand for me. Anyone know? Fortunately, I'm not branded minded. I just said the products good and not depend on my opinion.

Buy 1 Get 1


I picked number 131 and 108 - for honest I totally crummy to describe a shade of color. LOL. Ok, I try to... First, fuschia pink with warm finish and second is dark terracotta with reddish finish on my lips.

Terracotta (108) Left - Fuschia Pink (131) Right

For packaging are quite cute, black and written 'STUDIO COLOR', sadly the packaging are fragile. I should swipe the lipstick carefully, otherwise the lipsticks will be broken easily. 

How about the color? Is it pigmented? It might dissapointed you, I need 5-6 time swipe in my lips to reach the color (maybe depand on skin tone color??), it's not mate or glossy finished. It's soft sheer to matte finish. Not drying your lips too much and quite moisturized. The staying power also too bad, it's transfer anywhere. But, I like how it moist my lips without greasy feeling. The color also pretty.

The texture itself quite good. Not too hard and not to soft. So so. They have chemical scents, but lightly, I'm ok with that.

I tried the best I can, to get clear picture, I don't have any good camera, what I use here just my phone camera from LG G Pro Light. Still saving my money to our priority for wedding. Sorry for that. So, this is the look:

First No. 108 (Red Dark Terracotta)

Second No. 131 (Fuschia Pink)

 I do apologize, it's look like same like 108 when I turn off the flash, but here you go for clearly

With Flash
For comparison



The conclusions are: 
+ Cheap enough, you just spend $5 (around Rp 60,000) for 2.
+ Moist without greasy feeling
+ Sheer to Matte finished
+ Cute Packaging
+ Pretty color
- Not pigmented
- Fraigle packaging
- Chemical scents
- Need a lot swipe
- Poor staying power and transfer anywhere
 
 
Love and Regards,
