    I had A deviated septum operation. 2 really dark black eyes which will take a long time to go away. I'm a guy and was hesitant to use make-up. I tried Fit me 238 to see what it would look like. OMG. THE BLACK EYES disappeared. And you can't tell I'm wearing something to cover them up. I applied it a q tip and blended out the edges. I also went further and dabbed a few darker spots on my face and it looks like they disappeared too. I think I'm going to be using this product after the black eyes go away just to conceal the other dark marks on my face.

    Stop discontinuing popular colors

    3 years ago
    So tired of constantly having to replace my favorites. I see other responses from Maybelline saying Nude Nuance is their recommendation to replace the discontinued Touch of Spice. Not anywhere near the same color. This is the kind of stuff that drives me to higher end makeup, even though it may be more expensive, at least I can test it out before purchasing to find the right color, or return it! With drugstore brands like Maybelline you have to keep buying lipsticks until you find the right one. Touch of Spice was the perfect medium pink that wasn't too cool or too warm or too brown or too grey or too bright or too light or too dark. As someone with a paler olive skintone, it was exactly the perfect kind of everyday color for me and that is surprisingly hard to find! That kind of color tends to go orange on me if it's too warm, or make me look grey if it's too cool. Please bring back Touch of Spice!!! The best replacement for it I have found is Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium.

    I really love this lipstick. The texture is smooth and light, the color is gorgeous. But... drink a cup of coffee, and it's gone. I apply two coats, blot it well, give it way more attention than a lipstick should get. Still doesn't last.

    I purchased two tubes to wear under my mask at work, it is smooth and the color payoff is great. This lipstick never dries down to a matte finish and remains sticky. As a nurse a truly matte lipstick is a must for 10 to 12 hour days. I do not mind reapplying, but it did not last one hour at home. I would recommend for general use, but not for those who are in masks for the long haul.

    This is my favorite lipstick ever!!! It’s perfect! The lipstick colors I bought, Toasted Truffle & Nude Nuance are just the right blend of color without being too pink or too orange. They both look natural-not ‘pastry’ as most others do. This matte is like another brand that says powder kiss but this doesn’t taste awful. Try it!! The color dots on line & on the display at the store look nothing like the actual colors....but if you click on the dots on line the lipstick color that comes up in the tube is closer.

    Maybelline in general has amazing products for an affordable price. I tried out this lipstick in the shade Brown Blush because I wanted a lipstick that was darker than a nude but still not too noticeable. The lipstick itself feels a bit dense but also hydrating. It does smudge and it will come off if you eat or touch your lips. For me, this is not a dealbreaker and I love how it looks! The packaging is also super cute.

    (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The color sensation inti-matte lipstick from Maybelline New York didn't give me a wow factor. First of all it's hard to open, you should have very strong nails to put it between the base and the lid to open it. Then, Lipstick has a hard texture but cover lips very smoothly. It's glossy for a while but in a minutes lips becoming matte. I could feel the lipstick on my lips till it disappears. It's not smug proof and don't stay for long time. I will probably but it again as this lipstick doesn't cost fortune and I like nude color. I received it free from Chickadvisor to try and review and my opinion is honest

    Yes, I recommend this product.
