Maybelline Vivid Lipstick: Shocking Coral |
Swatch I'd describe it as a coral/watermelon hybrid |
As you can see, the shade is very pigmented, yet on the lips looks surprisingly pretty and fresh. Although it's bold, I find it to be very wearable. It feels light on the lips and glides on easily as well. These don't have tons of sheen, so if you like lots of shine you might enjoy topping it with gloss, although I think the slightly shiny finish is fine as is. These smell like "lipstick" to me, with no real flavor. After wiping it off my hand, I had a faint stain that lasted through my morning shower the next day so the staying power definitely seems to be present here.
I think this color will be gorgeous for Spring and Summer, with everything from a retro sundress and wedges, to jeans, a simple tee and a top bun. Once it gets warmer out, I usually tend to go less on the eyes and more on the lips anyways (Southern humidity and raging heat + eyeliner = nasty raccoon eyed mess) so this will definitely get a lot of use. I tend to go for pinks, but have been on a coral kick lately, so here's to me stepping outside of the beauty box!
