After my post on 6 Best lipsticks to try on during EID,which was a all matte series, (you can check it here).Personally I love mattes, they are most long lasting and they feel more intense,but many people find mattes to drying for their liking or just simply they like more of sheen in their lip shades.So,for those who like creme forumlation over mattes. this post covers the best Creme lipsticks which would work best during this summer eid.
As with the Matte series, for creme as well I have picked out 6 creme lip shades ,a combination of brights and neutrals.This time I have selected all of them are selected from Makeup Forever Rouge Personally I like Makeup Forever's creme formulations.. The Rouge Artist Intense range is formulated with 50% more pigment than other lipsticks.They carry different finishes but especially their creme formulations are very long lasting.
So,lets begin the countdown.
