Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Gradation Pink 2 Review

Hello girlies,

The Maybelline Lip Gradation range is all over the mall hoardings, social media and on our online beauty portals. And there was no way I could miss a new launch from Maybelline. One of the Lip Gradations from my stash is called “Pink 2”. I have so many pinks and I was thinking to give pinks a miss this time, but I couldn’t resist this shade. So here is the review for you, peeps! 🙂

My Experience with Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Gradation Pink 2:

The Maybelline lip gradation lip colours are available in 8 shades and these 8 shades left me confused because all of them look equally beautiful. But I finally made my mind and picked 4 out of these.

Packaging:
The Maybelline lip gradation comes in a long and sleek packaging with the lip colour
raising from top and the smudger at the bottom. It has the name written over it in glossy silver fonts and the shade name label is stuck at the bottom of the smudger. The crayons are colour coded which makes it easier than ever to spot the one I want to use.

The twisty thing at the bottom works perfectly and the cap stays tight, so no need to worry about the lip colour chipping. They are priced at 500, which initially I thought was high, but then after I tried these, I thought anyone would be ready to spend this much for a super matte lip colour.

Shade:
There are 8 shades, and I got to know that a lot of people were complaining that the shades weren’t unique. But I guess, the shades are perfect because, as we all know, Maybelline caters to masses, mostly to the younger generation; these are the regular shades that the girls use. So I am pretty much happy with all the 8 shades. The shade “Pink 2” is a super pretty pink which is very close to a raspberry pink; although a little more vibrant and bolder than raspberry pinks.

It is definitely the pink for everyone, for every occasion and for every makeup look because it is a perfect pink, not that bold or warm, and not that cool to wash out skin tones. It might precisely be called as a hot pink because it becomes more intense 2 minutes after application. The shade is great to cover pigmented lips too. If you need a perfect, affordable pink which is super matte, then this is the one to add to your cart.

Pigmentation, consistency and finish:
The consistency is extremely creamy and feels more like a mousse than a cream. It glides on super smoothly on my lips covering my lips with the beautiful pink colour in just one go. The pigmentation is very intense and is great enough to cover pigmented lips too. The consistency is definitely soft, so I would advise not to apply pressure while using this. The finish is super matte which looks extremely stunning on the lips. It is matte but not drying at all. So, all in all, it is a great product.

Smudging:
I don’t know why they created this concept because a very few woman would like to carry ombre lips. And the thing that they tried to create did not impress me! The smudger is soft and great for smudging, but the lip colour smudges all unevenly creating patches on the lips. Also, it totally clings to dry patches after smudging, so this is a big no-no; it works better as a plain lip colour.

Staying power:
The staying power is incredible! It stays on for more than 8 hours on my lips with water, snacks and meals too. Only a little colour gets ripped off after having a meal, but the colour stays bold through-out. Even though the colour goes off after 8 hours, it leaves a pretty strong stain which we can be easily removed with a make-up cleanser.

Overall:
Amazingly lip colours, they are a must-try!
