Who is it for? 3INA Lipstick Black is for those looking for a bold lipstick. Whether you’re a makeup aficionado or a beginner like yours truly, I think we all agree with the fact that the right shade of lipstick can effectively make or break a look. As every fashion magazine and chick-flick have told us, there’s a lip color for everyone out there. Here, I review the black shade of 3INA’s The Lipstick range.
Table of Contents
Price:
Rs. 600/- for 6ml
Shelf Life:
2 years
Sensitivity Alert:
None
Application:
The product is highly pigmented and contains moisture. Hence, it can directly be applied as it will actually benefit your lips. It also contains essential oils and vegetable wax, making it quite nourishing for chapped skin, lip cracks, and dry lips. Since it’s black lip color, lip liner is not really necessary here as the lipstick itself acts as an outline and not just a filler. While a lip primer is not necessary, it would definitely make the lipstick more durable, though that does not seem to be an issue with this specific product.
My Experience with 3INA Lipstick Black
Appearance/How It Looks:
The shade of black is a fairly unconventional addition to lip colors, especially to the Indian fashion sector. Having always been associated with classic gothic and emo styles, we don’t see a lot of people indulging in the bold statement a black lipstick is. 3INA’s black lipstick comes in a classy, minimalistic black and white box which is definitely a treat for the eyes. The lipstick itself is gorgeous to look at and when I first unboxed it, I just wanted to showcase it in a shelf somewhere.
The shade of black is shiny but in a more matte rather than a glossy way. The intensity of black that will show up depends on the number of coatings used.
I personally fell in love with the product as soon as I tried it on at the store for the first time. I was quite skeptical at first since I have not seen a lot of people wearing black lip color that often but as soon as I put it on, I knew that I had to buy it. 3INA’s black lipstick is perfect for evenings and nights. It gives your attire a very bold, flirtatious and sassy look, along with making sure you stand out from the crowd. It can be worn during the day as well, albeit with very simple, light-colored outfits to even it out. While it is not something I would use regularly, it is definitely my go-to lipstick to glam up my outfits in less than a minute. I also feel like it will suit all types of skin tones- it will be a stark contrast for the fairer complexions while it will complement the darker ones.
How Long Does It Last?
3INA’s black lipstick will easily last for good 5-6 hours. If you are headed for a longer commitment, you can always apply it after using a lip primer for it to last a few hours more.
