Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Pink Me Up

Pink Me Up, part of Maybelline's Color Sensational line is a medium, wearable shade of pink that complements a wide range of skin tones. It does not have any shimmer or glitter and the color is very pigmented, opaque and smooth.





Pink Me Up looks more like a toned down, mid tone pink in the tube. It goes on much brighter than how it looks and if you have pigmented lips, it sure does a great job covering any pigmentation. It has a sliglty more matte finish compared to some other Color Sensationals that I've tried. I like to sheer out the color a little, by using it with a lip brush. Applying it directly from the tube adds a nice pop of color that looks very fresh, perfect for when you don't have too much of anything else going on.





As far as the Color Sensationals go, I like the range of colors more than the formula itself, which is slightly drying on me. But, with a good lip balm underneath, they feel much better and last about 3 hours on me. Pink Me Up also leaves a light pink, natural looking stain. It is perfect for summer and a great addition to any pink lover's stash!

  2. my experience with color sensational lipsticks has been somewhat similar but I ended up not liking the colors too..the colors themselves looked gr8 but on me not so much...and they were drying on me. This color looks amazing on you.

    1. Thanks, LipJunkie101! Using a layer of lipbalm underneath actually helps me a little but on their own, yes, they are slightly drying.
