Best Lakme Makeup Products in India
Lakme’s Eyeconic Kajal alone carries an extraordinary review base of over 69,000 reviews — among the most reviewed individual makeup products on Amazon.in — and that scale of trust extends across a genuinely complete routine: eyes, lips, base makeup and setting powder all have their own deeply established Lakme staples.
This roundup covers six products spanning a full face — kajal, eyeliner, face powder, lipstick, foundation and mascara — so you can build a complete Lakme routine rather than just picking whichever product is most talked about.
How to Build a Lakme Makeup Routine
- Kajal and eyeliner serve different purposes even both being for the eyes. The Eyeconic Kajal gives a softer, smudgeable kohl look; the Ultimate Glam Eye Liner gives a more precise, quick-drying line.
- Foundation and face powder are different steps, not interchangeable. The Xtraordin-airy Mousse Foundation provides base coverage; the Forever Matte Face Powder sets makeup and controls oil afterward.
- Liquid lipstick and traditional bullet lipstick wear differently, even within the same brand. The Forever Matte Liquid Lip Colour gives a longer-lasting matte finish than a creamy bullet lipstick would.
- A mousse foundation has a lighter, whipped texture compared to a liquid foundation. It’s genuinely different in application and finish, not just a marketing variation.
- Massive review counts across nearly every Lakme product reflect the brand’s overall mainstream dominance in India, not that every specific shade is equally popular. Read reviews for your specific shade or variant when possible.
6 Lakme Products for a Complete Makeup Routine
Eyeconic Kajal — Best Overall, Most Reviewed
This carries an extraordinary review base of over 69,000 reviews, among the most reviewed makeup products on the entire platform, reflecting how deeply this kajal has penetrated the Indian beauty market. Its matte finish and smudge-proof, waterproof claims hold up to genuine daily wear.
Being a kajal pencil rather than a liquid or gel eyeliner, it gives a softer, more smudgeable line rather than the crisp, precise line the Ultimate Glam Eye Liner below produces.
Best for: buyers who want a genuinely proven, deeply trusted kohl kajal
- 👍 Extraordinary review base of over 69,000 reviews, among the most reviewed on the platform
- 👍 Genuine matte, smudge-proof and waterproof performance
- 👍 Deeply established as a mainstream Indian beauty staple
- 👎 Softer, more smudgeable line than a liquid or gel eyeliner would give
- 👎 Not a substitute if you specifically want a precise liquid eyeliner look
Ultimate Glam Eye Liner — Best for a Precise Line
This carries a massive review base of over 41,000 reviews, reflecting genuine sustained demand for this specific liquid eyeliner format. Quick-drying, water-resistant and smudgeproof claims hold up well through a full day of wear.
Compared to the Eyeconic Kajal above, this gives a crisper, more precise line rather than a soft, smudgeable kohl finish.
Best for: buyers who want a crisp, precise eyeliner line rather than a smudgeable kajal look
- 👍 Massive review base of over 41,000 reviews
- 👍 Genuine quick-drying, water-resistant and smudgeproof performance
- 👍 Crisp, precise line distinct from a kajal’s softer finish
- 👎 Doesn’t give the soft, smudgeable kohl look of a kajal
- 👎 Rating trails the Eyeconic Kajal slightly
Forever Matte Face Powder — Best for Setting and Oil Control
This carries a large review base and solid rating, reflecting genuine sustained demand for this specific face-powder step. It’s meant to set makeup and control oil after foundation, distinct from providing base coverage on its own.
It won’t provide the same coverage as the Xtraordin-airy Mousse Foundation below on its own — think of it as a finishing and oil-control step, not a foundation substitute.
Best for: setting makeup or controlling oil, not as a foundation replacement
- 👍 Large review base and solid rating
- 👍 Genuine oil-control and matte-finish performance
- 👍 Well-suited as a setting step after foundation
- 👎 Doesn’t provide the same coverage as a foundation on its own
- 👎 A finishing step, not a foundation substitute
Forever Matte Liquid Lip Colour — Best for All-Day Wear
This carries a massive review base of over 37,000 reviews across its many shades, reflecting genuine sustained demand for this specific liquid-matte format. The lightweight, transfer-resistant formula holds up well through a full day compared to a creamy bullet lipstick.
Being a liquid matte formula, it can feel more drying on lips than a creamy bullet lipstick — worth pairing with a lip balm underneath if dryness is a concern.
Best for: buyers who want genuinely long-lasting matte lip colour
- 👍 Massive review base of over 37,000 reviews across its shade range
- 👍 Genuinely long-lasting, transfer-resistant matte wear
- 👍 Lightweight formula compared to heavier matte lipsticks
- 👎 Can feel more drying on lips than a creamy bullet lipstick
- 👎 Liquid formula needs a slightly different application technique
Xtraordin-airy Mattereal Mousse Foundation — Highest Rated
This has the highest rating of any product in this roundup, with a solid review base reflecting real satisfaction with its whipped mousse texture — genuinely lighter in application and finish than a standard liquid foundation. Pore-minimising and matte-finish claims hold up well for oily or combination skin.
Its lighter mousse texture provides less heavy coverage than some liquid foundations — a reasonable trade-off if you prefer a more natural finish.
Best for: buyers who want a lightweight mousse-textured base with genuine pore-minimising claims
- 👍 Highest rating of any product in this roundup
- 👍 Genuinely lightweight mousse texture distinct from liquid foundation
- 👍 Real pore-minimising and matte-finish performance
- 👎 Lighter coverage than some heavier liquid foundations
- 👎 Best paired with the Forever Matte Face Powder for full-day set
9 to 5 Eyeconic Curling Mascara — Best for Lashes
This carries a solid review base and rating, reflecting real satisfaction with its lightweight, water-resistant curling formula. It rounds out this roundup as the dedicated lash step in a complete Lakme routine.
Being water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, it won’t hold up as well through swimming or heavy crying as a dedicated waterproof mascara would.
Best for: buyers who want genuine curling and volumising with lightweight wear
- 👍 Solid review base and rating for this dedicated lash product
- 👍 Genuine lightweight, curling formula
- 👍 Water-resistant performance for everyday wear
- 👎 Water-resistant rather than fully waterproof
- 👎 Smaller review base than the eye, lip and face-powder picks above
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Eyeconic Kajal and Ultimate Glam Eye Liner?

The Xtraordin-airy Mousse Foundation has a lighter, whipped texture and the highest rating in this roundup, giving a more natural finish than a heavier liquid foundation would.

The Eyeconic Kajal has an extraordinary review base of over 69,000 reviews, among the most reviewed makeup products on the platform.
