Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid 2 Neon Pink Vivid Matte Lipstick Review

Skin type: normal to oily
Skin tone: fair

Hello,

I shopped a few Maybelline makeup products recently consisting of blushes and lipsticks mostly. This is one of the products that I got. The new launch was super exciting but the shade range was disappointing. Many brands are launching matte lipsticks this season. Without further delay, let’s move on to the review of Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid 2 Neon Pink Vivid Matte Lipstick.

My Experience with Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid 2 Neon Pink Vivid Matte Lipstick:

Packaging: I love the packaging of the ‘Bold Matte’ range and this one has a similar kind of packaging. But the difference is the black body which raises the ‘oomph’. It is super chic and sturdy too which makes it easy to carry around. The only color coding that can be noticed are the stickers below with the shade names.

Shade: ‘Neon pink’ seems like a frightening name. One may expect the shade to be bold and all neon. But surprisingly the shade is so adorable. It does have neon hints to the Barbie pink but it is not such that it is not wearable. It can be pulled off by light to fair skin tones well; it might not suit medium skin tones that well though. But it is definitely a unique shade I feel. Not something for everyday-wear but definitely apt for certain special occasions.

Texture and pigmentation: The texture is so much better than the ‘Bold matte’ range; it doesn’t cling to dry patches like the Bold Matte ones. It is extremely smooth and glides easily. The formula is also very good; forgiving on dry lips. It can be called a creamy matte lipstick. But the finish is matte enough. The pigmentation is average; I wouldn’t call it insanely pigmented. But it is not on the sheer side either. 2-3 swipes will cover pigmented lips with ease, but layering will lead to patchy finish and settling into fine lines.

Staying power: As this is not completely matte but a creamy matte one, it does transfer but not to a great extent. If you blot it then transferring will be less. It survives snacks and water but needs reapplication after heavy meals. Lasting power is a good 5.5+ hours after which it fades from the corners as well as the center. It leaves a pink tint behind which I think, is prettier than the shade itself! After that I could sense a dry feeling on the lips so it was eventually drying on lips.

After L’Oreal, I think Maybelline is that one brand that impresses me with their lipsticks. This one too was a hit for me despite the short collection of shades. Just 4 shades! Really Maybelline?
