Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Moodmakers

 

Maybelline Moodmakers how cute are you? Look at these shades!

L-R Meditator, De-stresser, Harmonizer, Motivator & Optimist

And look at these cute Smileys printed on the packaging!

Let's start by wearing each of the 5 shades I got because I like you to see how these will look on an NC20 MAC Foundation shade, mostly Light Beige in other foundation with warm undertone.

I always start ascending shade numbers and if they don't have numbers, I go for the lightest shades first and starting with Meditator.

Meditator is a cool-tone light peach that works for those with darker complexion.  Imagine just how gorgeous this will look with no-makeup on Morena skin!  Grabe, your skin will glow even further!  This is also a nice MLBB shades for those with lightly colored lips.  

As you can see, it doesn't do justice on me as I need to have at least a defined-looking eye makeup to pull off this look.  Imagine thick eyeliner, maybe, soft smoky eyes with colored cheeks?  Definitely Workable but not my cup of tea.

Since we are on the topic of MLBB shades or something that looks quite natural and easy-to-wear even with not much makeup on.  De-Stresser is definitely the answer.

De-Stresser  is Neutral Rose Pink shade that I can imagine to rock on both cool and warm undertone gals.  It can give life to a sallow skin (me!) at the same time, it would work quite natural-looking for those with darker complexion.  If you have fairer skin than I do, this will appear to be brighter than mine!  

I would say, this is a nice start-up lippie but if you are a lipstick collector like me, you probably have a lot of dupes on this shade.

For some weird 90's baby reason (duh), I find myself leaning on to lip products (even Cheeks!) that has brown tone!  It just warms my already warm skin even further and I can get away with a bare face with just a lip color that has brown to it. Check Harmonizer for example.

Harmonizer, as the name states, balance out my sallow skin but not appearing like I am trying so hard to wear too much makeup.  It looks high-shine but with a matte finish if you touch it.  The color made my lips appear healthier than NOT.  

Motivator is a true blue undertone cool tone red lipstick!  Imagine Mac's Ruby Woo at less than half of the price point!  But keep in mind both are not exactly the same, Ruby Woo appears more matte while Motivator from Maybelline has a glossier finish to it.  

Do I look it?  Well, the answer is the confidence of my posing when I am wearing the right type of red lipstick!

Before you go scream: "I HATE Barbie-colored lipstick!  It makes me sick!"  (oohh, did I just created a rhyme there?)

Optimist is a long-time favorite lipstick of mine that I forgot I loved it.  Of course if it's me, there's always a story behind it.

I found myself pregnant (after years of trying) 10 years ago and I had a scheduled shoot with my Dog that day.  Thankfully, I am only carrying a Pomeranian!  

To make the long story short, since it was a shoot, the company hired a make up artist to do my makeup and he whipped out a super gorgeous Fuchsia colored Revlon Lip Crayon that glides so nicely on my lips without retouch and I had hours of shoot and it appeared so gorgeous on photos!

I never got to remember the shade name of that lip crayon but my heart jumped when I swatch Optimist because this was 99% the exact shade of that lip color that I talked about.

Call it really my favorite or just because I am clinging on to a good memory, but looking at my photo, it does work for me right?
