My Experience:

Maybelline Color Show Lipsticks are very creamy and glides smoothly on the lips. These lipsticks has slightly glossy finish and they are pretty much pigmented. There are some sheer shades as well, like the Orange Icon which I have. But that too show up well with 3 – 4 swipes.

Being creamy, the staying power of Maybelline Color Show Lipsticks is average. It can stay for 3 – 4 hours without food or water. These lipsticks fade away with full meal leaving a slight tint behind.

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick Fuschia Flare:

This is my favourite among the two. Fuschia Flare is a true fuschia color which is very pigmented. Single swipe gives you opaqueness and dual swipes makes the color appear even darker. This particular shades is perfect for Indians and will suit many Indian Skin Tones.

Fuschia Flare stays for a really long time and survive light meals. It fades with full meal leaving a pinkish tint behind. This particular shades takes long time to come off. You need continuous rubbing with a lipstick remover to remove it.

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick Orange Icon:

Orange Icon looks like a neon-y orange candy sort of a shade in bullet but it turns out to a pretty coral shade on lips. This is more on the sheer side and you need 3 – 4 swipes for good color. One can wear Orange Icon during day as well as in night and it will go well with both subtle and bold make-up.

Being on the sheer side this particular shade comes off easily with a lipstick remover or cleansing milk. It doesn’t stain my lips. Orange Icon vanishes with meals and leave a subtle coral tint on lips.
