TextureLakme Absolute Lip Shimmer has fairly smooth and buttery texture.  It glides easily on lips without tugging or pulling. The creamy super hydrating formula just melts in the mouth and the reflective illuminating shimmers add to its gorgeousness. It gives glossy finish and does not settle into fine lines. The shimmers are quite subtle and dispenses evenly on lips without being OTT.

Best Burgundy Wine Lipstick : Lakme Absolute Lip Shimmer Wine Gleam


PigmentationLakme Absolute Wine Gleam is a medium coverage lipstick which can be built to an opaque pigmentation. I love such lipsticks as they are more wearable and make me look made up.  Lakme Lip Shimmer ‘Wine Gleam’ does not give full coverage but does cover lip pigmentation to an extent. If you have heavily pigmented lips then sadly this won’t do much for you and you might require a lip pencil beneath.
Staying EfficacyLakme Absolute Lip Shimmer stays pretty well on lips. Being a bright color, it lasts for 5/6 hours on me and leaves behind a soft pink stain when it wears off. Wine Gleam does survive a meal however slight fading is noticeable on the inner rims of the lip and one might require touch-up.

Overall VerdictLakme Absolute Lip Shimmer in Wine Gleam is an alluring pink toned burgundy. The shade would flatter Indian complexion pretty well and is extremely hydrating on lips. I simply adore the glossy finish and how comfortable it feels on the lips. Although being shimmery, it doesn’t feels OTT or too stark during daytime wear. The shade variation totally goes by the “Illuminate and Shine” theme of Lakme 2016.Highly recommended!
