Texture & PigmentationThe L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Gloss is somewhere between a wet lip stain and a lip gloss - watery texture and very light on lips. The formula is non-sticky and very hydrating!The L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Stain Bella and Lolita are sheerly pigmented which is easily buildable. It might not completely cover pigmented lips. As it is a lip stain, the color seems to deepen post application. The finish is very glossy and stays fresh for longer hours.

Overall VerdictThe L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse lip color is an amazing combination of lip stain and lip gloss that feels light, very hydrating and non-sticky on the lips. It gives a subtle wet shine and natural stain to the lips. Bella is a gorgeous pinkish coral and Lolita is a nude shade with sheer pigmentation and would flatter Indian complexion quite well. Incase you have a full meal, it will fade unevenly.
However, I would highly recommend trying out Bella (pinkish coral), Milady (radiant orchid), Eve (berry pink) and Faye (coral orange) from the range.
