Another Matte Lipstick?!
I purchased my Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color for $7.99 at my Local
Ulta. There are a total of 10 shades available, I have Nude Flush.
Application
The application is easy. The doe-foot applicator is a little stiff but it’s manageable.
The color is very pigmented. It doesn’t apply streaky or patchy. I don’t notice
any tugging either. There is a fragrance present. It doesn’t bother me but I
have heard some people complain.
Finish
It's a light pink lipstick with a satin, almost glossy, finish. The claim of
a matte finish is bizarre, at best it’s a satin matte...if I blot it. I kind of
feel like Maybelline put liquid matte on it just for extra sales. We all know
liquid matte lipstick is trending, and that’s how they make more money. It
really bothers me when companies are shady like that!
Texture
The texture is very mousy and creamy. When I press my lips together I can
feel the lightweight texture smoosh between my lips. It’s actually quit entertaining.
Wear / Time
The wear time is very short, usually about 3-4 hours, less if I eat. Towards the end, it does
have more of a matte appearance and it looks like a soft stain. When I wear it
I don’t notice too much drying but I can tell there is some dryness happening.
Overall, it’s ok for what it is. I do recommend something
else if you’re after a true liquid lipstick, like Colourpop's Ultra Matte Liquid
lipsticks.
