Any of you also hunting for mask friendly lipsticks? I hear you! I also continuously hunt my own stash and try out which ones work and don't smudge and get removed when wearing masks. I like having lip color on even wearing a mask because when I eat or drink and do take off my mask, I feel like I look so unpolished and sickly, when I don't have any lip color. Hehe! Maarte eh.
Liquid lipsticks are usually long wearing so I checked out my collection of liquid lipsticks and found Maybelline Color Stay Matte Ink. This particular shade is Driver.
It comes with a doe foot applicator for precise application.
The shade that I have is in Driver, it's a nude shade that I thought would look well for my skin tone.
As the name suggests, this is totally matte. And it truly is. There's some tugging here and there so I highly suggest to moisturize the lips well. Also, it can emphasize the lines of the lips so exfoliate the lips to make it smoother looking.
As for transferring to the masks, this is transfer proof once it dries. It takes less than a minute to dry. I am not afraid of lipstick smearing under my mask because I know that once it's set, it really is set. When drinking, it also doesn't get removed, minimal retouching may be helpful. I noticed that when eating, some parts get removed, but again not that much, so minimal retouching is okay.
As for the color, I would have wanted it to be a tad darker. I find that when I don't have that much makeup, I kinda look washed out; especially now that I've gotten a little lighter. Blame it on the pandemic and staying home. Hehe!
How about you? Any favorite lipsticks that is safe for mask wearers? :)
I have always known that Maybelline New York makes kick ass mascaras! They produce really great quality mascaras without breaking the bank. One of the newest mascaras is the Maybelline Lash Sensational.
From the World’s #1 Makeup Brand, Maybelline New York, achieve lashes in full bloom this summer season with newest eye makeup sensation to hit the Philippines – Lash Sensational mascara. “We are very happy to share with all the Filipinas our newest mascara to help bring their most sensational lash game yet.” shares Maia Ang, Senior Product Manager for Maybelline New York. “Maybelline New York’s Lash Sensational is the perfect go-to mascara for women who want to achieve volumized, full flared lashes with zero clumps, perfect for everyday wear. Instant drama, with zero mess.”
I personally believe that the right mascara for your lashes really make a difference. So asking yourself what type of lashes do you have and what you need and like from a mascara is key.
I'm one who goes out with just face makeup, brows and lashes; and I found a new favorite in Maybelline Lash Sensational.
Maybelline Lash Sensational has a very interesting unique fanning brush is innovated with 10 layers of bristles, giving us a clean and flared volume effect – one that will still leave lashes looking sleek and natural after application. With a liquid ink formula that coats from all sides and opens up your eyes from corner to corner, the sensational brush and formula combination by Lash Sensational separates and lengthens lashes with just a few swipes. The result? Clean, flared, and volumized lashes with zero clumps and zero mess.
Previously I was using HyperCurl Volum' Express and loved it dearly but because of the length it gave my lashes. However, Lash Sensational is truly sensational as it really made a difference in both length and volume.
I LIKE:
no clumping
no smudging
gives both volume and length
held my curl the entire day
priced at P429.00
I DON'T LIKE:
Don't try to add too much layers as it may start to flake.
Packaging is a bit bigger and chubbier than other mascaras, not as space saver.
It's the most volumizing and lengthening but hey, I still like it.
I feel like this is well suited for Asian eyes because the wand is curved for easy application and the other side has small tiny bristles for the lower lashes.
Even though it's still not the most vavavoom lashes that every woman dream of, it's still an amazing everyday mascara for length and volume. And with the price tag like that, this has become a new favorite.
