My Experience with Maybelline Craving Coral Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick:

Packaging:  The lipstick comes in a packaging similar to the regular Color Sensational lipsticks – silver tube but with a brown translucent cap. The cap fits tightly enough to throw it in your bag without worrying. The shade name and number are printed on a sticker at the bottom of the tube, the color of the sticker being the same as the lipstick color.

Color:  “Craving Coral” is a gorgeous reddish orange shade which is a great color for the summer. If you like sporting bright colors, this is perfect for you. But it may not be suitable for an office environment, when worn at its full intensity. However, you can choose to use it as a stain, which is perfect to add a nice dash of color to your face.

Texture:  As the name suggests, this is not a traditional matte lipstick, but a more of a creamy matte. It is not drying like regular matte lipsticks. This formula is creamy and glides easily on the lips. This feels very similar to the Rimmel Kate Moss matte lipstick formula.

Pigmentation:  The pigmentation is outstanding. This being a darker shade, one swipe gives an opaque finish.

Scent:  There is a slightly sweet scent, but it does not feel over the top and you will hardly smell it after the application.

Finish:  The finish looks velvety matte with one coat, but if you add additional coats, you can see a very slight sheen. Being a semi-matte finish, it does accentuate dry spots on the lips. It is best to exfoliate your lips before you use this. The lipstick is not drying on the lips but neither does it add any moisture. So, after wearing it for over 5 to 6 hours, I feel the need to apply a lip balm. It is better to apply a thin layer of lip balm on your lips before applying this lipstick.

Longevity: Lasts for over 6 hours which is quite good. There is no bleeding or feathering. The lipstick fades evenly without looking patchy. Being a creamy formulation, it does transfer slightly, especially if you have more than one layer on.
