We have many good crayons in India. In fact, we have many colour ranges, good for daily wear which is comfortable and highly pigmented. The only problem that we think is that it should be sharpened. When we sharpen it, the product we buy is wasted. There will be a lot of residues. That is only the drawback with it but it is a beautiful, comfortable formula in lipsticks.It is highly pigmented but absolutely gorgeous. But it is not transfer-proof, that is when we touch, it will come off. It is matte, comfortable matt but others won't come off when it has set.
