Maybelline Lipgradation Lip Pencil Review & Swatches
Let’s take a look and I’ll explain further.
Maybelline Lipgradation Pencil are a dual sided twist up lip pencil that contain a creamy lipstick on one side and a smudger on the other.The smudger actually acts to recreate a slight blur look.Hence this particular lip pencil can be used for both bold and blurry looks as claimed by Maybelline.
The general idea of the look is to apply the lipstick towards the center of your mouth and smudge it gently so it bleeds a bit into the outer lip area but not too much. You want more color towards the center of your lips and less color towards the outer lip area. It’s kinda a funky faded up ombre lip look. I tried it on my lips and kind of like it, although I think that technique doesn't really suit me.
On that note I will say I wore the shades as all over lipstick and thought they rocked in the pigment department. They provide solid, smooth color on lips with a single swipe and build beautifully. They provide opaque color with an even matte finish on my dried lips. They didn’t accentuate dryness nor did they look dry or settle into my natural lip lines. Although my lips tend to dry out mostly throughout the year.The finish was beautifully smooth and very even. The actual tip of the pencil is a flat design so you can apply easily. They glide on incredibly well! I barely have to touch color to my lips, it just melts right on with a soft, velvety feel. They have no fragrance or flavor that I detected.

The wear is delightfully long at around five hours and some shades leave behind a staining effect as they fade! They don’t migrate or feather through the wear nor do they fade! They remain quite vibrant and fresh through the wear however, at around hour two and into three, four, and five the product feels a little more dry than when I originally applied but it isn’t terribly uncomfortable and lucky enough doesn’t translate to the actual finish looking dry.
All in all Maybelline Lipgradation Pencils are a very nice lipstick product that takes on a very popular Asian lip trend. Whether or not anyone gets on board with the faded out lip look is the question.
