How I made my Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Manila Work!




Some of you probably followed me on #AMWIGStories and saw me "unboxed" OFRA Cosmetics' newest shade of their famous Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick range called "MANILA".  

I love that our Capital is finally considered a shade name for a famous cosmetics brand!  And this shade is said to be apt for most Filipina skintones.

OFRA says ---

"Ofra’s 3-in-1 liquid lipstick with a matte finish.   Delivers vibrant color like a lipstick; moisturizes lips like a balm with antioxidants and vitamin E; stains lips with a soft, shine-free finish that won’t feather; delivers five hours of perfect color without eating or drinking; lightweight, creamy formulation."

The shade is a cool-toned matte liquid lip color with a rosy brown hue.  It is said to fit most Filipinas but unfortunately does not work for my sallow skin!  Not blaming Manila shade though because it works beautifully on clients!  Especially those who have medium to darker complexion!

And of course, I don't just give up and cry at the corner!  I picked Ofra Lipliner in Delicious Red and tried to make "Manila" work on me!

Delicious red is a warm tone medium red that doesn't go as opaque as I would like it to be!  I need to apply and re-apply to cover up my pigmented lips and though it isn't really drying, it takes a bit of effort to apply the product considering I have insanely dry lips!  But the effect didn't fail me though!  I can actually wear this lipliner on its' own but all I need to do is to exfoliate my lips properly and moisturizer it before applying lipliner!  It lasts pretty long.  But that's not the point of this "added post", I actually used Delicious Red as a "base" to make Manila a tad bit warmer and more "workable" for my skin tone.

Of course, I can mix and match "Manila" shade with other lipcolors but for now, this is how I appreciate both products!

Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks are highly pigmented, extremely lightweight and actually does not "tighten" my lips due to drying.  It is a bit tricky to work with if my lips are on a dry situation but with a bit of lip balm on top?  I can actually survive wearing this the whole day!

Overall, I'm proud that our Capital Manila is finally a name of a lip product and I'm glad the color is actually forgiving to most Filipinas --- I guess, I'm just an exception to the rule but I'm still happy with how versatile this color is --- I can mix this with browns, reds, pinks, peach tone shades and it will all work!  Just like how Filipinos are --- Versatile in everything we do! #ProudManilaGirl
