Hot Lava

Maybelline Hot Lava Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is vibrant, medium orange-red with strong, warm undertones and fine red pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied decently, but it could have distributed color more evenly. The lipstick felt smooth, lightweight, and had a more waxy consistency that was really comfortable to apply but made it harder to build up coverage. The color wore well for five hours on me and was non-drying.

The Matte Metallics is the newest finish in the Color Sensational range, and it’s supposed to pigmented, metallic, matte, and have a “comfortable creamy” feel. The formula had a smooth, waxy feel to me–it glided across the lips with ease but was thinner and did not lay down as much color in a single layer. Most of the shades were semi-opaque with some being slightly sheerer or more pigmented, but they were typically buildable. The lipstick was comfortable to wear and lasted between three and five hours on me with some shades being lightly hydrating and others were non-drying. There was a subtle, sweet scent but was significantly subdued compared to other Maybelline lip products.

Copper Rose

Maybelline Copper Rose Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep berry with subtle, cool undertones and fine red and violet pearl. It had medium color coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation. The consistency was smooth, waxy, and glided on without skipping. While I really enjoyed the color, I wish it had applied more evenly and sat less in my deeper lip lines; I think this one would be workable with lip primer or a coordinating lip liner underneath it. It felt lightweight and thin on the lips but not clingy, so it wasn’t drying while I wore it. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me.

Molten Bronze

Maybelline Molten Bronze Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep, reddish plum with subtle, warm undertones and a duochrome finish that shifted from gold to green. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that applied fairly evenly. The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and felt waxy, so while it glided on with ease, it took a bit more layering to build up the coverage. I had a bit of color that pulled into my lip lines over the five hours the lipstick wore for. The formula felt lightly hydrating overall.
