Maybelline Powder Your Pout Event + Powder Matte Review and Swatches
I think there’s always that one lipstick shade that automatically draws you towards the entire lipstick lineup and for me, the bait that got me hooked towards Color Sensational was the shade, Touch of Spice. It was the lipstick shade that both Georgina Wilson and I were wearing when I interviewed her around this time last year, and ever since, it’s been a staple in my makeup train case.
Earlier this year, when I attended the intimate brunch with Maybelline’s team, we were told that they would be launching a new collection from Color Sensational, and that they created a shade that was in the same color family as Touch of Spice—it was called Touch of Nude. Since then, I’ve been looking forward to the launch, and last week, they finally unveiled the collection called Powder Mattes.
What differentiates Powder Mattes from Maybelline’s other matte lipsticks is that this one feels incredibly lightweight—you’ll forget you’re actually wearing lipstick! It glides on so smoothly, and before it dries to a matte finish, it has a comfortable, almost weightless buttery texture that moisturizes your lips and won’t leave them cracked or dry.
During the event, I was asked by Maybelline to be their correspondent for the day—as I took over their Facebook page and filmed a live video of what was happening. It was my first time to try doing Facebook Live, and I was so nervous! Eventually, I got the hang of it and I even got to interview Maybelline’s newest endorser: international supermodel and student, Kelsey Merritt.
I was lucky enough to take home all 15 shades of the Powder Matte collection, and just from a glance, I already knew which shades would end up to be my favorite: Touch of Nude, Mauve It Up, Barely There and Nude Illusion.
Reds
Pinks
Nudes
I’ll be swatching Touch of Spice and Touch of Nude in a separate article soon, just to show you guys the difference.
Maybelline’s Powder Mattes are already available online at Lazada for Php 299, and should be in stores nationwide. Have you tried the Powder Mattes already? Which shade is your favorite?

Thanks for this review and swatches. I’ve been looking for this bcoz I wanna grab the ongoing P100 off on this Powder Mattes before I made a purchase. Now, I’m excited to go to Watsons and buy one or two. The 2nd and 4th shade caught my attention. You’re so right the Touch of Nude and Nude Illusion is really pretty shades..they are standout shades to me. But almost all are pretty. I already shared the swatches and names of it to my girlfriends, and now they are also drooling over it.

Thanks for this review. Please help me decide what shade to pick because all of the shades looks pretty! 🙂 I’m so inlove with Maybelline lippies!
February 25, 2017 @ 8:24 pm
I’m so inlove with the touch of nude. I can wear it everyday ☺
February 28, 2017 @ 1:20 pm
I’m a little hesitant to buy these since the shades so close to the ones I already have from Maybelline. It’s like they’re just changing the name or something. If you can show on your next post that there’s a real difference in the texture and shade, then I’ll be hooked.

I actually love the formula of these lippies too! It’s matte but not drying, plus points is that it doesn’t highlight the lines on the lips! Definitely buying another tube!

This variant is buttery but very light on the lips unlike the creamy mattes. My fave are touch of nude and mauve it up. Though what I bought was the former as it will act as my daily office lippie. I also noticed that this lasts longer than creamy mattes for some reason. Overall, I’m satisfied with it 🙂

How is Mauve It Up different from Rosy Peach of the Rosy Matte line?
March 2, 2017 @ 6:43 pm
I’ll try to swatch the difference also! 🙂
