Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Liner Velvet Beige Review

Hey beautiful girls,

Today I am going to review Maybelline Lip Liner in the shade Velvet Beige. This is my first lip liner. I just chose this one randomly, but it turned out to be a hit for me. Let us move on to the review.

 

My Take:

I wanted to get a lip liner for my farewell. So I searched for something affordable yet good. Then came this lip liner, as I like Maybelline products. I had two options, either Velvet Beige or Choco Pop. Since I have an allergy towards browns, I decided to go for this one. This lip liner is an ordinary pencil liner.

Packaging: It comes with a transparent plastic cap. These pencils have color oriented packaging, so even if you have more than one, you  will find it easy to identify. The packaging is pretty smart. Not attractive, not worse either. It is not retractable, so you need to sharp them, which leads to more product wastage.

Texture: The lip liner is creamy, but gives a matte look  and somewhat well pigmented. One swipe gives you the original color. It glides on lips very smoothly, but you definitely need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before. Or else, it will leave your lips dry. They are not moisturizing.  But creamy and smooth enough to glide on lips without being a headache.

Color:  Now coming to the main part. Velvet Beige is an awesome nude pink shade with shimmers. Not so nude that would wash out dusky beauties The shimmers are not so obvious but gives a healthy look to lips. It make lips look more beautiful and attractive. If not exfoliated properly and moisturized it will surely accentuate fine lines and make your lips look ugly. It is a beautiful color that will suit all complexions, fair-dusky. When I swatched it on my sister who is dusky, it showed up so neutral. Me being wheatish , it showed up as a pure pink color. It definitely controls bleeding of lipsticks and yes, it makes lipstick stay longer. If used alone, it stays for 3-4 hrs, leaving a very beautiful mild pink tint on lips.
