Hey my lovelies! I was supposed to post this review two days earlier but weekend working at office prevented me from doing so! So as I was blabbering on my Facebook page that I hate brown lipsticks but I bought this chocolate brown lip liner, some of you must have wondered why. Well, read on to find out what made me buy this very deep brown shade when I actually abhor sporting brown lips!

Product name: Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Liner in shade 775 Copper Brown
Price: Rs. 320 for 5 gms (Available with discounts on Amazon, Nykaa, Jabong)
Shelf Life: 24 months
My take: The lip liner comes in a simple wooden sharpenable pencil form with a clear plastic cap. All the shades in this range have the body of the pencil in the colour of the individual shades. So this shade “Copper Brown”, quite naturally has a warm brown body.

The shade is a misnomer though! If you expected warm bronzy brown by the name “copper” in it, you will be disappointed. This shade is a true warm, matte brown (What a relief! Anything worse than brown lips for me is shimmery brown lips).

I have clicked the swatches in sunlight and shade as well to give you all an idea. The quantity will last a long time because such wooden pencils have more product than their retractable cousins.

The texture is a dream! I had not expected it to be so creamy! It glides on beautifully and then settles to a matte finish. However, while lining lips, it is always advisable to have pre-moisturized lips. The pigmentation is mind blowing. The thinner line in swatch is single time swatch and the broader line is multiple swatches. The liner actually stayed on my lips till I removed it hours later but tends to fade lightly after too oily meals. There is no overpowering fragrance to this liner.

Now for most of you who know me personally, you are aware of my phobia of deep brown lipsticks. In my 26 years of being on this planet, there were I guess only one or two instances where I actually liked brown lip color on someone. Most of the other times though, brown lips look like “dried leaves” to me L  And more so, on thin lips like mine, deep shades instantly add two decades to my face :-/
But interestingly, I had come across a post on Facebook where it was mentioned how brown lip liners can be used to create a “pout” and that they are very helpful in creating the right definition for fine lips. No, please don’t start thinking about the 90s trend of dark lip liner and shimmery pale lipsticks.. Eeeyewww! That’s not what we are talking about.

How I choose to use this liner is this way!
1.     Apply a base of any nude color lip liner (Read review of Lakme Beige Pink Here)
2.     Lightly line the lips with this brown liner concentrating on corners and cupid bow (That is what created the pout for thin lips!)
3.     Take a small flat lip brush and blend the harsh brown line inwards. Use small strokes to “shade” your way in.
4.     Lastly, top with your favourite lipstick. If you remember, using this liner saved me from the pale lips that MAC Kinda Sexy lipstick gave me (read review here)
I am loving this technique so much that I am using this liner along with a nude shade every time I use a lip color. I had used it for nude lip and smokey eyes look here. (Read tutorial for classic smokey eyes HERE)

And recently I did my lip lining in the mentioned way and applied Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip color in Shade 38 here (Read review of ten shades of Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip color) Pardon me for the hazy pic :(

Even though my lips are thin as before but i love how there is a prominence to the outline without being like those stark brown lips of the 90s ;)
Rating: 4.5/5
