Probably the only drugstore brand in India which manufactures makeup wipes. These Colorbar makeup wipes easily remove waterproof makeup including eyeliner and mascara. It does not leave any sticky residue and is a must have in everyone’s kitty.

Some other notable mentions are the Lakme Satin Enrich Lipsticks, L’Oreal Paris Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks, Maybelline Baby Lip Candy Wow Lip Crayons, Maybelline The Nudes Palette. Both Revlon and Lakme were pretty disappointing this year with their new launches, especially with Revlon products being quite highly priced.
