My Views on Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick, MAT2:

I was really excited about the latest launch of Maybelline Bold Matte collection, mainly because they had corals pinks and red!! All colors that I absolutely love to try and I have started loving maybelline cosmetics too... So I tried out all the 5 shades and absolutely loved MAT 2 and MAT 5. MAT 5 was a red shade and i have enough of them (not that i wont buy any more reds :-p), and MAT 2 was a really bright vivid coral. Its such a lovely coral shade that flatters a wide range of skin tones. Its the kinda coral that's wearable, though it looks like a neon coral in the tube. The color instantly brightens up the face.

Maybelline claims this to be the first matte lipstick in India, Really? I thought that maybelline 24 hour stay lipsticks were matte too... however these are not totally matte. I think its a semi-matte leaning more towards the creme finish. I don't really care because the texture is great. Glides effortlessly almost like butter on lips, pretty much hydrating. The color pay off is sheer with one swipe, but its totally build-able. After 3-4 swipes its opaque.The color lasts for 4 hours without fading, and after a that it fades away leaving a nice stain on lips.

The packaging is cute and is a matte case obviously because they are bold matte. The name err number of the lipstick is mentioned below. I really wish they had some catchy names instead of boring numbers. Lipstick is quite soft and needs to be handled with care.

Pros:

1. Such a gorgeous coral, absolutely flatters warm skin beauties.
2. Semi matte finish, which means its not at all drying.
3. Application is something i absolutely love love love! Glides so effortlessly.
4. One coat is pretty sheer and ideal for day wear, also buildable bright coral perfect for night.
5. Inexpensive.
6. Lasts 4-5 hours without fading, after that it leaves a nice stain.

Cons:

The only downside is that the lipstick is soft, if you put too much force it might break.

Recommendation:

Maybelline MAT 2 is a gorgeous vivid coral with pink undertone, like to flatter all skin tones. These babies are semi-matte and lasts really long on lips! If you love bright lips then you have to try their new collection. Totally stunning and inexpensive too!
