Review On Maybelline Lip Gradation

Hii Girls,

How are you all doing…? Hope everyone is having a nice festive time.

Today I have come up with yet another product review.

So, if I ask any girl what is your 5 must have products or 5 products which you can’t live without or 5 things you don’t leave your house without, I am sure almost 99% girls will have lipstick in their list.

We girls are just crazy for lipsticks. Even if we have numerous amount of lipsticks we are not satisfied with it. Seeing our craziness for lipsticks, makeup brands keep coming up with new range of lipsticks.

Maybelline launched lip gradation range some months back and I am super impressed with it. This is one of the best lipstick that comes under crayon lipstick category.

Keep reading to know all details about it.

Product Description:

Matte lipsticks are quite on demand now a days. Another thing that is on trend is crayon lipsticks. 

When you combine these two, you get Maybelline lip gradation.

It is a perfect crayon lipstick which gives you a gorgeous matte finish. It is a two sided crayon which contains lip shade on 1 side and cushion blender on another. You can use the cushion blender to get perfect ombre or graded look.

It comes in 8 different shades: Pink 1 , Pink 2, Red 1, Red2, Fuchsia 1, Orange 1, Mauve 1 and Coral 1.

The one I have is Fuchsia 1 which is a bright pink shade with blue undertone.

Price and Quantity:

Maybelline lip gradation is retailed at Rs. 500 for 1.25gm.

Shelf Life:

36 months from the date of manufacturing.

Packaging:

As mentioned above, it is a 2 sided crayon lipstick. On one side it has the lip tiny and on another it has cushion blender.

Body of the crayon is colored as same lip shade. And both the ends are secured by black caps.

Packaging is quite classy and eye catching. It can be easy carried in handbags or even in wallets.

Texture:

These lipsticks have creamy texture which gives a very nice matte finish. The cushion blender can be used to get a smudged look too. Its consistency is just perfect for it.

Moreover, I would not suggest it for very dry lips. If you use a lip balm and apply it, you might not get the desired matte finish.

Directions of Usage:

To apply it generally, first line your lips using the same lipstick and then fill up the remaining parts.

To get a smudged look, apply lipstick in the center of your lips and then use the cushion blender to smudge it all over. That will give you perfect matte and ombre look.

Pros of Maybelline Lip Gradation:

       1)      Gives nice matte finish.

       2)      Have classy packaging making it travel friendly.

       3)      Can be used to get both matte as well as graded look.

       4)      Easily available.

       5)      Have nice creamy texture.

       6)      Covers pigmentation.

Cons of Maybelline Lip Gradation:

       1)      Limited shades available.

       2)      All usual shades, nothing new and interesting.

       3)      Quantity is low for given price.

       4)      Not suitable for very dry lips.

My experience of Maybelline lip Gradation:

If you follow my blog regularly, you must be knowing that I am big lipstick lover. Also Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brand. So when this range was launched I was super excited to try it out. 

But due to some personal reasons it got delayed.

Recently I got a chance to try my first lip gradation as I received it as a gift. It is in fushia1 shade.

During the tenure of its launch and me receiving it, I had read many mixed reviews about it, so I was little excited to try it out.

I personally liked it a lot. From its texture to finish to packaging, everything is perfect. It gives very nice bold and beautiful look which will suit on any Indian skin tone.

It is definitely a must have for me this festive season.

Only problem is that, it has all usual shades which we generally have. Therefore it’s no point in investing in them. But if you don’t have any of these shades, it is definitely a must try.

Ratings:

I am really satisfied with the quality of this lipstick so I would it has 3 out of 5.

If it had some unique shades, I would have rated it as 4.5/5.

Do let me know your experience if you have tried it before.

Thanks,

Ankita
