Maybelline Brazen Berry Colorsensational Vivids Lipstick Review

Hello all,

Okay, so I have to admit I have never really ventured beyond nudes, pinks and reds in lipsticks and shades of violet were a real no-no for me. But after seeing the IMBB lippie queen Neha rock MAC Heroine like there’s no tomorrow, I was motivated to try out a purple shade.  Since I was looking for something in a cheaper range as compared to MAC, I ended up picking the Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids Lipstick in the shade Brazen Berry. Read on to find out more.

My Experience with Maybelline Brazen Berry Colorsensational Vivids Lipstick:

Packaging: This lipstick comes in the standard “Colorsensational” lipstick packaging – a sleek metallic tube with a rectangular cap. The Vivids range has a bright orange-coral cap. The sticker at the bottom of the tube has the name of the shade and is also color coded to match the lipstick shade. The packaging is sturdy and looks classy.

Shade/Pigmentation:  Brazen Berry looks quite purple in the bullet and let me admit, a little bit intimidating 😛 But, it doesn’t look that bold on the lips. I mean it is a shade of purple for sure, but it is a very wearable purple amd doesn’t look garish or neon-ish on the lips. I am very pleased with how this looks on my lips and I would wholeheartedly suggest this as an option for anyone wanting to try out a purple lipstick.  As mentioned in the marketing material, this lipstick is indeed vividly pigmented. A single swipe is enough to cover the lips and two swipes will give you a nice bold finish.

Texture/Finish:  The texture is creamy and the lipstick applies evenly on the lips. There is no tug involved at all. The lipstick does not settle into fine lines. Nor does it feel drying on the lips.  The finish is a nice glossy crème.

Staying Power:  The staying power of the lipstick is pretty good – it stays put for around 5-6 hours. It does transfer to cups and glasses and the intensity decreases post a full meal. But it leaves a lovely stain behind.
