I picked this lip liner a few weeks back for dual use, I wanted a lip liner and something to use as sindoor. Now the name is Hollywood Red so I assumed this will be blood red, but it is a pale pink maroon colour which you can use with red, maroon and pink lipsticks. Here’s the review:
Claims: Non Smudge Lip Liners. Keep your lip colour looking beautiful with coordinated lip liners that wont smudge, smear or bleed!

Packaging: The lipliner is a wooden pencil with a transparent cap.

Price: I got mine for 200.

Pros: The Maybelline Color Essential 540 Hollywood Red Lip-liner is not red a deep pink colour.

  •  Doesn’t smudge.
  • Helps set lipsticks which bleed.
  • It sharpens perfectly, mine has never broken it’s tip. 
  •  Works well as sindoor too.
  • No fragrance. 

Cons: The formulation Maybelline Color Essential 540 Hollywood Red Lip-liner is extremely drying you cannot use it on the entire lip as it tugs the skin.

The lid can slip off at times which can make carrying it in your bag a messy idea
