One of the most hyped lipstick launches of the season is Maybelline Sensational Inti-Matte Nude Lipsticks. I received samples of all 10 shades from the brand and decided to test how well these nudes perform and whether they actually enrich natural lip color.
Promise
“Maybelline’s creamiest mattes. Warmer, more sensational nudes for every skin tone. Pucker up to radiant, confident color that highlights one’s natural beauty.”
Packaging
It’s a standard Maybelline package with the only difference that the tube comes in a translucent neutral brown shade.
Formula
Very creamy and pleasant to wear. Inti-Matte lipsticks do not feel dry while wearing. In fact, Maybelline lipsticks are some of my most favorite drugstore options.
Color Range
Maybelline website features 10 shades in this collection:
- 530 – Hot Sand
- 535 – Purely Nude
- 540 – Peach Buff
- 545 – Beige Babe
- 550 – Honey Pink
- 555 – Naked Coral
- 560 – Raw Chocolate
- 565 – Almond Rose
- 570 – Toasted Truffle
- 575 – Brown Blush
Longevity
Since it’s a moisturizing lipstick formula, don’t expect it to last all day long. It requires re-application after every meal and throughout the day. The formula makes it very easy to add each layer though so your lip makeup looks neat.
Scent
Very mild, not irritating scent similar to other Maybelline lipsticks.
Transferability
It transfers (and it’s okay as this product doesn’t claim to be transfer-proof).
Removal
Easy to remove with micellar water; doesn’t stain the lips.
Price Point
The Best Part
The formula and a color range is amazing! I think it’s really great lipstick, especially considering the price.
The Worst Part
The product is not cruelty-free and not vegan.
Conclusion
Overall, it’s a great product to have in your collection. The lipsticks are easy to apply and comfortable to wear. These do not make your lips dry that makes them suitable for everyday wear. Even though the line comes in just 10 shades, there are plenty options to play with—especially considering the affordable price of the product.
530 – Hot Sand
(this shade is way too pale for my skin tone and makes me look washed out)
535 – Purely Nude
(has a bit more color in it, but still too light for pale skin girls)
540 – Peach Buff
(beautiful nude with pink undertone)
550 – Honey Pink
(one of my most favorite shades from the collection with a bit of coral and pink undertone to it)
555 – Naked Coral
(I believe it’s my perfect nude lipstick shade!)
560 – Raw Chocolate
(a bit more brown than I usually prefer, but still a very good one!)
565 – Almond Rose
(this shade looks like a slightly darker shade of #555 and I adore it!)
570 – Toasted Truffle
(I would not call it “nude” because it looks dark on my pale lips, but it’s a gorgeous shade that I often reach out to)
575 – Brown Blush
(love the plum undertone of this shade; again, it doesn’t look “nude” on me, but I love the shade anyways)

Very lovely lip color selections! Toasted Truffle and Raw Chocolate looks so pretty on you. I might’ve to try some of these shades. I love matte lipsticks.
Lovely lipsticks. When it comes to choosing lipstick, I always prefer nude, since it brings color to my lips without being too exaggerated. The best one for me up there would be the Almond Rose. So pretty!
WOW so many great shades that work with paler skin! I love it. I think I see two colors I would love to try on myself. I have been looking for a matte lipstick to try. :)
I haven’t tried any of those but I am thinking to get one. I like the honey pink even before I saw your pictures.
I prefer the Naked Coral and Raw Chocolate. Just right up my alley. I love natural looking or the “no make up” make up look. Maybelline always has nice colors however, it makes me sad that it is not cruelty free.
All these shades look amazing on you. The most interesting color is the Honey Pink for me. Maybe this matte formula could be finally something what I would like.

I love all the shades! I’ll try first the Brown blush, peach puff and raw chocolate. It’s nice to know too that there are current promotions. Yey!
I love Maybelline products! I think that the Almond Rose would be my color although it’s tough to pick because they all look great!

i have Maybeline almond rose shade, why is it look better in you? lol im a fan of Maybeline !
Wow! I really like these especially the brown blush. I like to wear lipstick but nothing too intense. This looks so soft and feminine but still noticeable.
I used to love nude colors before I got into dark matte shades. I think these are great! I love the brown blush the most.
I love all of these shades! They go with nearly any outfit.
As someone on the paler side, I also prefer nudes with some color to them. I love how all the darker or more pink shades look on you.
Love maybelline lipsticks! honey pink, naked coral and almond rose are my favorites on you and now i need to go check them out myself :)
I love Maybelline lipsticks! I’ll definitely have to try this range out as I am all about nude lips at the moment :)
