This lipstick has been advertised as being universally flattering for all skin tones, and boy they weren't exaggerating with that claim. I tried out #379 "Fuchsia For Me" and #385 "Ruby For Me" which are a pink and a red. I was really impressed with "Fuchsia For Me". When I read the name I was expecting one of those typically harsh neon pinks from a Barbie makeup set, but it was actually a really sophisticated, mid toned (like not too bright or too dark) cool based, true pink. It looks like a colour you'd find in classic editorial photos shoots. It's a shade that can easily worn for any occasion, from work to a wedding or just hanging out. The colour itself will not only compliment every skin tone, but work really well with bright colours in clothing, makeup and ...

The colour itself will not only compliment every skin tone, but work really well with bright colours in clothing, makeup and hair. "Ruby To Me" is your classic 1950's Hollywood starlet red. It's a beautiful cool toned red that is literally in the perfect shade. \nThe pigment is rich in both colours with a medium coverage that is buildable. They were both in a creamy satin finish that felt very comfortable to wear. Although, being really creamy they don't wear too well. I had to reapply after eating and drinking (and talking for a while), but I find blotting my lips after applying helps it set and stay a little longer. As with most red colours, it does stain the skin after wearing it, but a decent cleanser or makeup remover will get rid of it. \n... Show more

I really enjoy Maybelline products. I prefer satin lipsticks like this one because they feel smooth on my lips. I also like how it looks smooth as opposed to dry. This lipstick is not super long lasting but I also did not assume it was since it doesn’t claim to to be and because it has a satin finish. I also like how the lipstick wears evenly on my lips. I like this color because I don’t have anything like it in my collection. I provided a picture of the lipstick swatched on the back of my hand.... Show more

I was very happy to try two of these lipsticks in shades Ruby For Me and Plum For Me and they were both beautiful, pigmented shades. Both lipsticks came presented in bright, sleek shiny cases that coordinated with the lipstick shade inside. The lipstick itself has a lovely scent and the curved shape tip makes it quick, easy and precise to apply directly to my lips. The formula is quite pigmented so you don't need to layer it on to get brilliant colour and coverage. The texture is quite moisturising but I found it did initially feel a little bit tacky on my lips. It lasts pretty well for a couple of hours, but does smudge slightly, so I do need to touch-up and reapply after a few hours. I do like that the universal shades are designed to suit most skin tones, and I ...

These lipsticks are pretty affordable and I would definitely purchase other shades in the future.... Show more

I’ve always loved the amazing and vast ranges of formulas that Maybelline carry. These lipsticks do not disappoint. They are creamy, pigmented, and they last a substantial amount of time on the lips. The shade “Mauve for me” is my favourite type of nude – a very wearable pinky brown. With my medium-tan skin this shade definitely has the “my lips, but better” vibe to them. I love that Maybelline is going after a universal shade range, it’s going to make lipstick browsing easier for all of us.\n\nI find that if you blot the lipstick after application there is not a real need to use lip liner underneath, though lip liners are always a great safety net. This is definitely travel friendly and an easy on the go lipstick to throw on whenever you need or want it. I don’t ...

I don’t find the smell of the lipstick off putting in anyway, if anything it reminds me of chocolate (or I could just be out of it).\n\nPackaging wise it has a clean exterior with the coloured lid matching the actual product. I do prefer this style so that I don’t have to keep flicking the product upside down to see the shade name or open the product completely. I do appreciate this small detail. Though $17.95 is pricey for my affordable tastes, I would definitely pick up a few on a sale.\n\nYou can’t go wrong with this formula!\n... Show more

great
I love these lipstick line from Maybelline. it hasn't a matt finish, rather a bit juicy or you could say fresh. the coverage is good, and although it's not waterproof, it lasts quite long time. no specific scent that I can say. I have another color from this line which I always receive compliments whenever I wear it.... Show more

Perfect lipstick
Great scent to this lipstick. I use it on special occaisons, it's obvious of great quality. The size is very compact and easy to keep in the purse. I feel like this would lok great on a woman age 30-40. The package was ok but nothing to write home about. I've already noticed a benefit to the looks I get at parties while wearing this lipstick. I feel like it really improves the composition of my face. This has a great amount of coverage hiding my birthmarks. The color is mauve and really brings out my brown eyes. The texture is slick and slimey. My only concern about it is that I will use it up so fast as it is fantastic.... Show more
