Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Magic Mauve

This greige lipstick is everything I didn’t know I needed. The shade is a flawless balance of gray and beige—cool, muted, and effortlessly edgy. It’s the kind of color that turns heads without screaming for attention. If you’re into gothic, alt, or just more unconventional makeup looks, this is 100% a must-have.The formula is smooth and creamy, glides on without patchiness, and feels super comfortable on the lips. It has a soft matte finish that looks modern but doesn’t dry you out (which is so rare with matte lipsticks). It wears beautifully on its own, but I also love pairing it with a dark lip liner for a slightly more dramatic, sculpted effect.What makes this lipstick a standout for me is how versatile it is within the goth and alt beauty aesthetic. It gives that slightly undead, high-fashion vibe—like something straight off a runway or a moody editorial shoot. It’s a perfect alternative to black or deep purple when you want something different but still dark and bold in its own way.It works with minimal makeup for a stark, striking look, or with full glam for an unapologetically bold style. I’ve gotten compliments every time I wear it—people always want to know what shade it is!If you’re into alternative beauty, love experimenting with cool tones, or just want something that breaks out of the usual pink/red/nude rut, this greige lipstick is pure perfection. Will definitely repurchase.

Love it perfect 👌

I chose the Maybelline Color Sensational Matte Nude 988 Brown Sugar option, and have mixed feelings about it. The colour is gorgeous, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. There’s a decent amount of pigment to it, and although it is matte, it’s not as matte as I expected it to be. It does have a strong smell and that takes quite a while to wear off or become unnoticeable. The biggest issue for me is that it just doesn’t last and needs to be reapplied frequently, or you end up with what looks like dark lipliner around your lips and nothing else. I’m more of an ‘apply it and forget girl’ so although I will occasionally wear this it's not the every day staple that I was hoping for.

Perfect lipstick, new, branded, correct colour (540)

This is a nice dark green colour which stays on well.

I love this lipstick but unfortunately it wasn’t retractable completely and it was in the lid of the lipstick. They wanted me to return it but too much trouble just for a lipstick!

I am very satisfied - it is the second time I have purchased this lipstick on line.

Exactly what my niece wanted!Not available in shops and cheaper than similar items in popular cosmetic high street retailers.
