Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick, 65 Spicy Mauve

This greige lipstick is everything I didn’t know I needed. The shade is a flawless balance of gray and beige—cool, muted, and effortlessly edgy. It’s the kind of color that turns heads without screaming for attention. If you’re into gothic, alt, or just more unconventional makeup looks, this is 100% a must-have.The formula is smooth and creamy, glides on without patchiness, and feels super comfortable on the lips. It has a soft matte finish that looks modern but doesn’t dry you out (which is so rare with matte lipsticks). It wears beautifully on its own, but I also love pairing it with a dark lip liner for a slightly more dramatic, sculpted effect.What makes this lipstick a standout for me is how versatile it is within the goth and alt beauty aesthetic. It gives that slightly undead, high-fashion vibe—like something straight off a runway or a moody editorial shoot. It’s a perfect alternative to black or deep purple when you want something different but still dark and bold in its own way.It works with minimal makeup for a stark, striking look, or with full glam for an unapologetically bold style. I’ve gotten compliments every time I wear it—people always want to know what shade it is!If you’re into alternative beauty, love experimenting with cool tones, or just want something that breaks out of the usual pink/red/nude rut, this greige lipstick is pure perfection. Will definitely repurchase.

Perfect lipstick. Lovely summer pink, long lasting and not at all dry.

Rather strange that I had to sign for this lipstick, and sign for it with the postie who delivered, so it was a good job I was in.I ordered the Maybelline in midnight blue for when my new glasses arrived.The first coat I put on to be honest looked more deep dark purple than actually midnight blue.As I added another coat it just went darker.So although I do like this lippy, it isn’t a real bold blue colour, the lipstick before applying looks blue, and comes in a blue covering which is plastic kind of material..Doesn’t seem to dry my lips out to much, and isn’t sticky.I paid a decent price for this, so in that respect these lipsticks are good value.Stays on fairly well, that is until I drink a cup of tea, then starts coming off.This is a Matt colour and a bold look.I love the different shades that Maybelline do, quite funky and current.* My image is exactly how the blue looks ie, dark purple really.⭐️Thank you to the seller⭐️I hope my review helps you.

Absolutely beautiful lipstick, love the colour.

The media could not be loaded. "As a lipstick aficionado, I was excited to try Maybelline's Red Matte Lipstick. The product did not disappoint. This lipstick glides on smoothly, providing a velvety, rich color that is both elegant and bold.I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting it is. The matte finish is true to form, lasting for hours without smudging or fading. It has become my go-to option for special occasions and nights out.The formula also left my lips feeling moisturized and comfortable, a feature that I greatly appreciate in a lipstick."

I really like the colour but I don't understand who got the idea to glue bar code on lipstick. It doesn't look appealing at all for me to carry it around now. Glue stayed on after taking bar code off, it just looks messy and unhygienic. Otherwise is well moist lipstick, doesn't leave your lips dry.

Beautiful colour and moisturing but not quite Orange.

The picture gives the illusion of a much warmer, brick-reddish mixed with pink than the real life rather pale lipstick. It might be ok/achieve that effect for very pale skin tones but if you're anything from olive to darker, it won't at all. Much more of a very light nude. It also has shimmer which I dislike and a very strong sugary scent which I find very unpleasant. I can't comment on longevity as I wiped it off straight away. Unfortunately can't return for obvious hygiene reasons.
