Or maybe not? (More on that later)
So I am sure that I have raved about Maybelline Hyper Glossy liquid eyeliner a lot here. I spoke about my feelings for it even in an individual post like THIS. I have recommended the same to some of my readers and friends too and they couldn’t be happier.
All along the way, I expressed my desire to own the same liquid eyeliner in a matte finish. I am sure many others also wished for the same. So imagine my happiness when Swathi from blog Curiousandconfusedme told me that Maybelline has launched a matte version in this.
When she wrote that line, I stared at it for quite long and started to dream about how dreamy my eyes will look now when I can afford to draw winged eyes with a liquid matte liner.
So hold your breath ladies as I present to you the bumper beauty start of the year 2016 from Maybelline!
*Drumrollz*
It dries down to a matte finish! Ooh! *_*
Now doesn’t that makes you want to run to your nearest makeup counter and buy it? If you can’t, please don’t throw any curse on me.
I will post a review on it once I wear it for a week or so. So stay tuned!
Now coming to that “Or maybe not?” part!
I know almost the whole blogsphere has been abuzz with talks of the Maybelline Fit me range. Believe me when I say that I myself have been waiting for the range to launch in India. I already own their concealer and quite like it but not more than my NYX HD Photogenic Concealer. I was super excited about the foundation but guess what! Only 6 shades out of the total 15 shades have been launched here.
I was with my friend when I was shopping for this stuff. She too was so thrilled and as she held the darkest color foundation in her hand, she asked to SA> Show me a match for my skin. She has a dusky skin. The SA told her that the shades you see are all the shades which have been launched in India. I can tell you from her face expressions that she felt disgusted and would have surely thrown the foundation bottle on floor had I not snatched it from her.
I too didn’t felt like buying foundation then. She was so upset. So, I got billing done only for eyeliner.
While on one hand I am so glad for Maybelline launching the new matte eyeliner, feel gloomy at the same time to see these kind of things happening again and again. Shade selection for dusky women in India amongst drugstore brands should really become a history. Instead it keeps getting repeated time and again.
Did you buy something from Maybelline Fit me range? What do you think about this issue?
Almost forget, the liner is for Rs.325!
The liner sounds nice. Going to check it out.
Aww thanks a lot for the mention :*
I dint buy the eyeliner initially bought it later as I could not resist 😀 Shade selection, its the story in every brand. Being dusky I have owned about 3-4 foundations till date, thats all. That's not it when you pick the darkest shade in the hope, the SA's give you the lighter shade to make you look gora, that is even more disgusting 🙁 I did pick the Fit me foundation though, it is somehow working for me.
