Maybelline New York Sensational Liquid Matte Lipstick, Long-lasting - 03 Flush It Red - Red Serenade

What it feels like on the lips

This lipstick feels surprisingly light once you apply it. The texture spreads evenly without turning patchy too quickly, and it doesn't give that tight "dry matte" feeling some liquid lipsticks are known for.

After a minute or so, it settles into a soft matte finish that still looks natural on the lips. It's more comfortable than a lot of long-wear matte formulas, especially for everyday use.

Who usually enjoys this lipstick

This kind of formula is often preferred by people who like:

• Lightweight matte lipsticks

It may not be the best fit for:

• People looking for fully transferproof lipstick
