Pat McGrath’s lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes are some of the most coveted in the beauty community for a reason. With their high pigmentation and range of finishes from sparkle overload to a luxurious velvety matte, they’ve earned their place in the makeup hall of fame.
And while we all love luxe lipsticks, sometimes it’s not something many can realistically afford for daily use. Luckily, shoppers who want to rock a velvet matte lip without the velvet rope price have discovered Maybelline Ultimatte Matte Lipstick, a $6 matte lipstick in over 20 shades that fans are saying is just “as good as Pat McGrath.”
Take it from one happy shopper, who is digging the shade More Scarlett: “This is a very nice matte lipstick. Beautifully opaque, richly pigmented, it glides on like a satin formula but it dries down to a lovely velvet finish… this lipstick works just as well as several of my high-end lipsticks (Pat McGrath, Fenty). And looks indistinguishable from the high end formulas.”
Another shopper couldn’t get enough of the shade More Rust, saying, “I absolutely love this formula! It’s like a soft powdery feel but still moisturizing. If Pat McGrath did drugstore this would be it. The swivel tube is perfect for throwing in your bag and it really snaps shut so you know it won’t get everywhere. I love to sheer this color out with my fingers and even use it as a blush.”
Long-term lovers of the line swear it’s a must-have. “I’ve been buying this lipstick for a couple years and won’t use any other. The matte finish is soft and lasts for hours,” said one customer about the shade More Honey. With high-impact pigments and non-drying wear that leaves lips feeling as good as they look, it’s no wonder Maybelline has shoppers hooked.
With reviewers raving about its velvety texture and bold color that compares to that of Pat McGrath’s runway-favorite lipsticks, Maybelline Ultimatte Matte Lipstick might just become your new favorite. At $6, why not indulge in a little luxury with a shade or two?
