FACES Ultime Pro Velvet Matte - Just Looking & Proof - Review, Swatches

Hi friends, I am back with yet another post about lipsticks. This time two matte lipsticks from FACES Ultime Pro Velvet Matte collection.

FACES Velvet Matte - Just Looking & Proof - Review, Swatches

These lipsticks are very differently packaged as compared to the Color Perfect lipsticks I shared. They come in a matte black packaging. The lid clicks on and stays put even when you keep the lipstick in your bag. Very classy chic packaging. And the shade label on the bottom is color coded to match the lipstick shade.

FACES Utlime Pro Velvet Matte lipsticks are smooth to apply, give a matte look, and do not dry the lips. You do need to exfoliate your lips properly before using them as matte lipsticks tend to highlight lip lines. 

Overall the texture is creamy and smooth. Proof and Just Looking both shades are opaque, a single swipe covers all lip pigmentation. Without food the lipstick lasts for a long time but one full meal and the lipstick fades on the inner part of the lips. Since the lipsticks are non staining you must reapply immediately after having food else the lips look horrible. With such lipsticks I prefer to use a staining lip liner underneath. Doing so not only increases the staying power but also ensures that your lips are not left bare with an outline of lipstick after you have your meal.

Lakme Skin Stylist Kit & Lakme CC Cream FOTD

Is this post late? Very late? Very very late? Oh yes its late indeed. I got this kit from Lakme as a prize for a contest held on Neisha's blog.

Lakme Skin Stylist Kit & Lakme CC Cream FOTD

The kit contains the Lakme Iconic Kajal, Lakme CC cream, Lakme 9-to-5 nail paint (reviewed & swatched HERE), Lakme 9-to-5 lipstick in shade Beige Post (reviewed HERE), an eyeshadow quartet, and a liquid liner in blue.


I was supposed to do a look using products from the kit. I did a simple everyday look and followed it up with how you could convert that easily into an evening look. Neisha liked the evening look and put that up on her blog.

This is what I did for a simple daytime look - good for office or college.

As you can see in the pictures, the eyes look very simple and yet not boring or plain. The make up is just enough to add a little brightness to the eyes and make them stand out.
