The lipstick is too dry for the lips and does not give the right matte finish.
Maybelling Color Sensational Lip Gradation lipsticks were promising when launched which even convinced me to pick them up. I picked up the Orange and pink shade for the use.
At first it appeared creamy which I kind of liked but by the time it dried on the lips it make the lips appear too flaky and dried up.
The attached sponge that comes with the lipstick does provide for a good blend to the lipstick and makes it smoother and well textured. But in the end the lipstick dries on the lips and instead of giving it a matter finish - it feels dry paint!
For the price its sold at - the look of the lipstick is good but it isn’t as useful in getting the right tint.
The Orange Lip gradation I picked was rather on the very bright orange side which is not proper for the Indian Skin tone. And the pink lip gradation I tried was average too!
All in all I would not recommend buying this product!
