Hello beauties! Winters bade goodbye and its already spring. Summers will come knocking soon enough and it’s time to bring out those colorful breezy dresses from the closet ;)  And which summer look can be complete without a fresh coral lipstick to brighten your face? :D Presenting before you all, a jewel of a true coral lipstick which will instantly glam you up without burning a hole in your pocket! I had received this lipstick as a part of the Maybelline Insta Glam Valentine’s Gift Kit sent by the wonderful Maybelline team :D
Product name: Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick-MAT2

Price: Rs.425
Packaging: I LOVE the packaging of this lipstick. It’s fun, bright and young :D The color of the cover depicts the approximate color of the lipstick.

My take: Shade-wise the lipstick is a true coral one. It is very bright and almost verges on the neon side. I doubt if the deeper complexions will be comfortable wearing this one, but it’s a sure winner for fair and medium complexions.

Texture of this lipstick is somewhere between sheer and opaque. Multiple swipes can fully cover pigmented lips but single swipe will not give the desired coverage. I prefer using it mostly as a coral lip tint by just dabbing some amount on the center of both upper and lower lips and mix it together by pursing the lips. For a lipstick categorized as “matte”, this texture is truly confusing. I have used C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E mattes like MAC Ruby Woo and semi-mattes like Faces Ultime Pro Long Wear Matte Lipstick in Read My Lips, but this lipstick for me cannot be included in the matte family. It is more of a sheer lipstick texture with a burst of color (ok, I know am confusing. The swatches will clarify what I want to say)

The staying power is around 3-4 hours on me but it does leave a very strong tint behind. So, your lips won’t be devoid of color even when the lipstick is “dutifully” licked off :P
Enough of blabber! Have a look at the swatches. In the second swatch, I have compared it with MAC Impassioned. Remember how I was ranting about Impassioned not suiting me because it was too neon? Beside this, Impassioned looks like a cool pink :P But somehow, I LOVE Mat 2! I am a crazy cat!

Overall, I am fan off this color, but the texture would require good exfoliation and moisturization of the lips because of its tendency of exaggerating dry lips. Otherwise, it would look unflattering.
Rate:
Pigmentation: 8/10
Texture: 7/10
Staying power: 7.5/10
Overall: 8.5/10
Enjoy the piccies ladies!!! <3
