Kryolan Lipstick Classic LC161 Review,swatches & eye candy!!

Kryolan Lipstick LC161 is from Kryolan's classic range of Lipsticks. Kryolan is a professional makeup company and manufactures specialized products for Theater / movie/ TV /HD purpose.

Here's what Kryolan claims about Lipstick Classic
"Lipstick with a long-proven formulation, including Vitamin E to stimulate the skin’s repair mechanism. Lipstick Classic produces a matt impression and is known for its good durability. This Lip Rouge is available in a wide range of more than 48 shades."

The packaging-Kryolan lipsticks come in a grey plastic casing with chrome accents on the cap of the lipstick.The lipsticks are numbered and there is no shade sticker at the base, so it makes identifying the lippie quite a hassle.
The date of manufacturing and product expiry are mentioned at the base of the case. Make sure you pick out the freshest stock of lipstick.
The lippies have a very faint citrusy-fruity fragrance. But the older stock of lipsticks have a  nasty waxy smell, so double check the manufacturing date, before buying.
The tube contains 4 gram of lipstick and is priced at INR 250/- !! *does a happy dance*

The shade is a medium brown with a hint of dusty rose.The lipstick is very creamy and goes very sheer on first swipe, almost a MLBB shade for dusky Divas.The shade LC 161 is a universally flattering shade, it will look great on most Indian Skin tones, a single swipe gives a sheer hint of color and will look great on lighter skin tones, 3-4 swipes would give a shade perfect for medium to duskier skin tones.

The color is quite sheer but build able,the texture is very creamy but it doesn't melt or feather too much.The swatch below is 3-4 swipes.The staying power is about 2-3 hours. It fades with a light tint behind, so your lips carry on with a hint of color.
