New Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks India Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

I have two shades from the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks and you already saw me using one in the previous Valentine’s Day Tutorial post.

I have been testing these out and here are my thoughts..

Claims: Maybelline New York introduces Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color, a burst of statement-making color meets a surge of creamy texture. Achieve beautiful-looking lips and statement-making color with this supremely sensational matte lipstick. These hydrating lip colors glide smoothly and evenly on lips keeping them moisturized all day long. Now flaunt your pout in bright, vibrant and creamy matte shades for bold impact!

  • Precious oils leave a sensuous finish.
  • Available in 12 gorgeous hues.
  • It is extremely light weight.
  • Does not bleed or set into the lip lines.

Shades Available: 12

  • Faint for Fuchsia
  • Ravishing Rose
  • All Fired Up
  • Nude Nuance
  • Touch of Spice
  • Craving Coral
  • Mesmerizing Magenta
  • Burgundy Blush
  • Siren in Scarlet
  • Vibrant Violet
  • Divine Wine
  • Rich Ruby

MRP: Rs.575/- for 4.2g

To start with, the sheer grey purple case and steel body packaging is quite nice. I always liked the Color Sensational range packaging, they change the outer case color for different ranges.

Although I am not happy with the increase in prices, the Color Sensational range started with Rs.299/- in India and then it increased to 399, 425, 500 and now 575. I feel 575 is a little too steep for Maybelline as we always associate it with affordable prices.

The formula is creamy matte as per the name. It is very comfortable and glides on the lips easily, and gives an opaque finish in two swipes. They are quite moisturizing and feel light weight on the lips.

These are quite pigmented and stay for around 5-6 hours. Since I have both deeper, brighter shades, they definitely stay longer and leave behind a strong tint. I had to finally take them off after 6 hours and scrub my lips well to remove the tint. The lighter nude shades won’t last that long.

These are slightly glossy, and not a flat matte or powder matte finish. Also they do transfer on everything, but don’t go away completely and fade off quite evenly.

I like the fact that they have a good variety of shades, but I still see more of reds. Only two nudes and one violet, would have loved more shades in this range, at least about 20-25.

Faint for Fuchsia is a barbie fuchsia pink. Slightly cool toned but not neonish.

Craving Coral is a bright coral orange.

These swatches are two swipes, I love the pigmentation.

I do recommend the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks, I only wish it was priced below Rs.500

I am going to try both the nude shades Nude Nuance and Touch of Spice and also the Vibrant Violet.

They have recently launched the Intimatte Nudes collection in the US and I absolutely love few shades like Raw Chocolate, Beige Babe, etc. I hope they launch that range in India soon!

This Creamy Matte range is available online on Nykaa.

All About Airbrush Makeup

Guest Post

Airbrush makeup is makeup sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. It is popular in film, theater, and sunless tanning; although systems designed for personal cosmetic use in the home are also available.

Very thin layer of foundation is used, which is layered again and again untill a flawless smooth base is achieved.

More often for the red carpet appearances, celebrities have been buffed to perfection with thin layers of foundation applied skillfully through a flick of their makeup artists’ wrist using spray on makeup.

Traditional powder or liquid based make-up can settle and appear in pores and wrinkles and be visible on HD film. As the makeup is sprayed on, it connects with the skin as millions of droplets of formula.The formula can create an even, sheer, natural appearance to the skin that, if applied properly for a natural look, can appear natural and non-heavy like traditional makeup. Airbrush makeup wears longer than traditional powder or liquid foundation, able to stay put upwards of 12–24 hours.

Airbrush makeup is also available for eye shadow, blush, eyebrows and lips and can be layered, shaded, highlighted and contoured. Application wise, the technique is more sanitary than traditional makeup application due the artist never having to touch the skin. It’s also faster, if done by a trained artist.

An airbrushing gun shaped like a pen is used..and few drops of liquid foundation especially made for airbrush is used matching your skintone which is then sprayed in layers all over the face covering the whole face.

Airbrush makeup is applied by layering several passes of makeup. This allows the artists to build upon previous layers to produce subtle changes. When applying foundation between 6-12 drops of makeup is used. The makeup is sprayed onto the face at a distance of 6-12 inches

Have you tried airbrush makeup ??
