Lakme Jewel (Liquid) Sindoor in Red Shade- Review, Swatches and FOTD



Hello, sugarplums ๐Ÿ˜Š

How have all of you been? Ah! I so enjoyed my long relaxing vacation in Malaysia, did nothing except eating, sleeping and roaming around the capital Kuala Lumpur๐Ÿ˜. By the way, today’s post is especially dedicated to all the married women and would-be brides who love wearing Sindoor or would wear it soon! During festival or wedding season, we women love to get dolled-up as traditional as it gets, don’t we? But no traditional look is complete without adding the touch of sindoor for a married Hindu woman especially on certain festivals like Karwa Chauth or Navratri ๐Ÿ˜Š

I love wearing sindoor as this small red streak on my forehead somehow always enhances my beauty and makes my makeup look complete ๐Ÿ˜  If you are also fond of sindoor and looking for trying out budget-friendly Sindoor to use on a regular basis then please keep scrolling down๐Ÿ‘‡ I am going to review Lakme Jewel Liquid Sindoor (vermilion) in Red Shade today. So, why wait, let’s jump straight into the details๐Ÿ˜Š

Product Description:

Lakme says- 

For the modern woman of today who simultaneously likes the touch of a tradition, this is Lakme Jewel Sindoor.

A liquid-based sindoor that allows precise application and comes in two classic shades –red & maroon. Giving that finesse with a sponge tip applicator, this symbolic tradition is now a non-messy affair.

My Experience with Lakme Jewel Sindoor Red (Liquid):



Lakme is our very own Indian cosmetic brand and till date, I have tried a lot of makeup products from them. Some products satisfied me while a few not! Lakme has two variants of Liquid Sindoor – red and maroon. I love red shade so chose it over maroon and as mentioned, today’s review would be about this red sindoor.

Packaging:

Oh! I love its gorgeous packaging๐Ÿ˜ The red sindoor comes in a colour coded, plastic cylindrical bottle with a golden twist cap, resembling exactly lip gloss kind of packaging! To make the application easier, it comes with a doe-foot shaped sponge tip applicator. Ingredients are not mentioned on the packaging but the shade name and other details are printed on it. The packaging is both travel-friendly and user-friendly๐Ÿ˜Š

Lakme Jewel Liquid Sindoor (Red) is a cool-toned pretty red colour sindoor with no glitters. I assumed it would contain golden shimmers having the name Jewel in it but no, it’s free of sparkles. Major plus!! It has no artificial fragrance and has quite a runny consistency with a smooth texture.

Performance:

I do prefer applying liquid sindoor mainly at the centre, the starting point of my hair parting line and not along the entire length. The sponge applicator comes so handy to work with that you can easily create a simple line, triangle shape design or even a circular bindi (dot) on the middle of the forehead!

See, here in this traditional look, I have drawn a small bindi as well as a red line with this red sindoor on my forehead. I don’t have red bindi stickers along with me here hence I tried this easy trick and the look turned out so well ๐Ÿ˜‰

The thin, runny consistency of this liquid sindoor provides an effortless application ๐Ÿ˜Š After you apply it on the skin wait for few seconds and let it dry. Once it dries, it settles into a matte finish which does not budge for a good period of time. It is water resistant but not completely waterproof and can be easily removed by any makeup remover or simple Vaseline.



Let me confess, I use herbal powder sindoor (which I have reviewed here) for daily use or when I am outdoor for many hours; liquid sindoor is reserved for special occasions only! Since I do not know if it contains any toxic chemicals, I use it occasionally๐Ÿ˜ Moreover, when liquid sindoor gets in touch with my hair on the front side, it gets messy and sticky hence I cannot comment how it would react when applied to the entire hair parting line๐Ÿ˜’ However, this particular sindoor has not yet caused me any skin irritation or allergy so I am totally happy with this product ๐Ÿ˜Š

Plus Points:       

  • Stunning red shade
  • Quick dry and matte formula
  • Non-messy
  • Non dripping
  • Easy to apply
  • Easy to carry, travel-friendly packaging
  • Good staying power
  • Easily gets removed from the skin
  • Non-irritating
  • Affordable
  • Lasts long
  • Perfect sponge applicator
  • Easily available

Minus Points:  

  • The ingredients list is missing!
  • No glitters, at least not visible through my naked eyes! If you are interested in sparkling sindoor, it’s not the one.

NBAM Rating: 4.8/5

Conclusion-



In a nutshell, I love this Lakme Jewel Liquid Sindoor for its non-messy and easy to apply features besides its gorgeous red shade! However, I would appreciate if Lakme discloses its ingredients list on the packaging itself or at least on their official website. I may not be repurchasing this product as I am willing to try other brands as well!

  2. That red dot is my pride and proud moment as well. This is good. Not drippy, hopefully won't drip when I sweat profusely in our blistering sun which we are currently struggling with.

    2. I am not married but I like painting the bindi on my forehead rather than use the plastic bindis. We used to only have liquid bindis when I was a child.
