Maybelline recently launched their collaboration with model Gigi Hadid and my absolute favourite item from that launch was their brand new lipstick shades. If you want to see my full try on and review of the collection, you can watch the video linked below, otherwise… let’s talk about these lipsticks!

This post is exclusively about the lipsticks from that launch because I loved them so much. Maybelline never steers me wrong with their lipsticks in this square tube, so it wasn’t a shock to discover I liked these so much.

The lipsticks come in Maybelline‘s traditional squared off packaging. I don’t personally find it overly compact or easy to carry in my pocket, but it’s certainly easily identifiable as being from Maybelline! The Gigi Hadid range is peachy-tan coloured with Gigi Hadid written in holographic writing.

The shades in this collection are an interesting mix of reds with neutrals. There are six shades in total, but I only have four of them – the missing shades are another neutral similar to McCall (called Taura) and another red (called Austyn).

These are a matte lipstick formula, but don’t let that scare you – Maybelline makes one of the most comfortable matte lipstick formulas on the market! They go on smoothly, feel like butter and best of all? They’re actually comfortable to wear. It’s a feat that not many matte lipstick formulas can pull off and have only started to more recently, but Maybelline has been delivering a comfortable matte lipstick formula for years!

Swatched out, you can see how pigmented these lipsticks are. Even McCall, a rather neutral flesh-tone colour is completely opaque in one swipe!

Of all four shades I tried, McCall is definitely my least favourite – mostly because I’m not reallllly a neutral-kinda person. McCall is like a pale version of “my lips but better”, but it had a slight tendency to show my lip lines. I do think that that’s down to the shade colour though.

Ummmm wow! Erin was the most boring looking in the tube (hello… it looks like a plain brown), but on the lips it’s glorious! If you want to see Erin in action, I’m wearing it in my Drugstore Makeup Kit for Beginners video.

I always love a good orange-red and Khair absolutely delivered. I think most people would mostly just see “red” when they look at this shade, but there is a hint of that orangey-warmth to it that really helps to punch up the colour in my opinion.

And here’s Lani – one of those beautiful blue-based reds that tends to look good on everyone. It’s the kind of shade you can wear during the holidays and feel Christmas-y, or… any other time of the year and feel like a total bombshell. This colour is absolutely wonderful.

Final Thoughts

I mean, this will come as no surprise as I feel I’ve been raving on about Maybelline‘s lipstick formula for quite some time… but I love these. The colours are beautiful, they wear comfortably and, well, and they’re just an all around GOOD lipstick. Not just good because they’re decently priced at the drugstore, but GOOD because they’re some of the best on the market, including everything that lives at Sephora. Maybelline knows how to do lipstick right, and they won’t disappoint you.

My personal recommendations? Erin is the most unique in the collection, and so, so pretty – so I’d recommend that one to you immediately. You can’t go wrong with Khair either – I love that shade so much! (I mean… they’re all good –  grab what appeals to you!)
