Maybelline Lip Gradation: Swatches, Review

Hey all,

I know I’m bit late with this review and swatches, but I recently got my hands on all the shades that I wanted from this range, so here it is, better late than never …I guess .So without further delay let’s get on with it.

Product description: (From the website)

It’s time to experiment with your lip makeup. Available in 8 bright, matte shades, this double-sided lip product will inspire you to experiment with your looks. The color stick at one end will give a gorgeous pop of color while the cushion blender tool at the other end will give a sexy, graded look. For a complete trend-on look, apply color on the centre of your upper lip and use the sponge smudger to extend the color to the outer edges till the contours of your lips or use it as a matte lip color or a lip liner.

Packing:

It comes in slender tube with product on one side and smudger on the other side. Tube is of same color as the shade it hosts thus making it easier to find without much hassle. The packing extremely sturdy and travel friendly and pink1 is perpetually in my bag.

Texture:

Texture of these babies is extremely creamy and smooth. It just glides on your lips without any tucking.  It is super pigmented and gives opaque lips in just one swipe. It has no shine or gloss what so ever and it is completely non sticky on lips. Best part is even though these are matte lippies they do not settle in lip lines but sit very comfortable on lips. On application they settle in to powdery matte finish.

Fragrance: None

Price: 500 INR

Where to buy: You get these in all the store and Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa

My experience:

Amongst all the color my favourite is pink 1 as its very wearable everyday color. These last for entire day (with meals) and I have to remove them with makeup remover at end of day.

L - R : Orange 1, Pink 1, Red 1, Fuchsia 1, Mauve 1

Orange1: it’s a medium reddish orange color, would look stunning on ducky beauties.

Pink1: As stated before I love this color. Its beautiful midtone color there is nothing “unique” per say but it’s extremely flattering on all skin tones.

Red1: Its beautiful cherry red, a must have for glamorous outings. It’s quite similar to MAC chili

Fuchsia1: Its perfect fuchsia, perfect blue based pink. This lippie is my dream come true.

Mauve1: Its most definitely not mauve but a brown nude. I seriously do not like this color as it looks muddy on me and washes me out, but would look pretty on medium to dusky skinned beauties.

Overall:

I really liked these as they are highly pigmented, longwear and very comfortable especially for the price, but color range is not so exciting. I still feel if you don't like to touch-up your makeup often, then you need these in your stash.
