Maybelline Pink for Me & Mauve for Me Color Sensational Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Pink for Me

Maybelline Pink for Me Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that had a touch of tackiness on my lips but always felt lightweight and comfortable. The color adhered evenly and stayed on for a solid five hours with a lightly hydrating formula.

Formula Overview

$7.49/0.15 oz. - $49.93 Per Ounce

The ColorSensational formula is supposed to have "crisp and vibrant color" with a "sensuous finish" that is "comfortable" to wear. The "Made for All" range is specially designed to be "universally flattering" across 50 skin tones for each shade in the line. Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque color coverage that went on evenly and didn't settle into my lip lines. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being slippery, and comfortable to wear, which ensured the color glided across my lips without tugging. The shades lasted for four to six hours on me with some of the deeper shades staining, while the formula felt lightly moisturizing. The matte finish has a more velvety feel and wasn't hydrating. It had a sweet, caramel-like scent to my nose but no discernible taste.

Mauve for Me

Maybelline Mauve for Me Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium, rosy brown with warm undertones and a cream finish. At best, it was a very warm-toned plum, but it didn’t look mauve in the tube or applied to my eye. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth and comfortable to apply and to wear, though it seemed to emphasize my natural lip texture slightly–possibly a bit too clingy. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer that lasted well for four and a half hours on me. I found the formula to be lightly moisturizing over time.
