As quickly as the brand new Maybelline Tremendous Keep Teddy Tints launched, social media flooded with evaluations. At first, principally optimistic… however the extra I scrolled, the extra complaints I noticed from magnificence lovers who had been “duped” by movies raving in regards to the components. Some individuals known as them their new holy grails, whereas others complained about stickiness, patchiness, and dryness. So what offers? Why do the Maybelline Teddy Tints have such combined evaluations?

You’ll be able to apply them sheer, blurred, or construct them as much as a stable daring shade. Plus, they can be utilized as liquid blush.
Let’s simply get straight into it: these are a matte lip components that don’t declare to be hydrating… and so they’re not. They really feel like a conventional matte liquid lipstick. They’re drying, and they don’t seem to be chapped lip pleasant. Exfoliation and moisturizing will probably be tremendous useful to prep your lips for this product (however take away extra lip balm earlier than making use of for a fair end!).
In recent times, we’ve gotten lots of “consolation matte” lip merchandise with hydrating components, however this isn’t considered one of them.

Talking of components, I dug a bit of deeper and in contrast these to the Maybelline Tremendous Keep Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks. They struck me as related– although sheerer– and albeit I assumed they stands out as the identical product however with extra dimethicone within the components. Evaluating the components side-by-side above, there are positively a couple of variations however lots of overlap (highlighted components). I’m not a beauty chemist, however all the mutual components make me really feel like I’m not that far off.
Maybelline mentions three lip appears to be like you’ll be able to obtain with the Teddy Tints: one swipe of shade will get you a sheer wash of shade, two will get you a blurred matte look, and three offers you a daring look resembling a daily matte liquid lipstick. With that stated, I feel that once you pull the applicator straight out of the tube, the quantity of product on the wand is someplace between “blurred” and “daring.” You actually need to wipe off the surplus to get sheer shade. The components has a skinny whipped mousse consistency.
With the completely different ranges of shade additionally comes a totally completely different put on expertise, and for this reason I feel we’re getting such combined opinions from prospects and influencers alike.
Above you’ll be able to see two put on checks I did with the Maybelline Tremendous Keep Teddy Tint within the shade Skinnydip.
Daring Check
The primary time I wore it, I utilized the tint generously for almost opaque shade payoff. As a result of the components is thinner and a bit translucent, you do need to work at getting a fair utility.
At first, I bought refined switch on straws I used to be ingesting out of, nevertheless it grew to become transfer-proof after about an hour. This was really on Thanksgiving, the place it survived each my breakfast and my full dinner unfold of ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and pumpkin pie. The outcomes converse for themselves: the colour was nonetheless very a lot daring and even, 9 hours later.
Nonetheless, it was really a displeasure to put on all through the day. Dwelling within the desert, I’ve perpetually dry lips, and so they have been tremendous uncomfortable all through the day. Not solely that, however the product stayed cheesy all day. If I pressed my lips collectively, they felt sticky and product may even be peeled up if I wasn’t cautious. You’ll be able to see a bit of little bit of patchiness towards the middle of my backside lip the place this occurred. The colour additionally settled round my dry patches as nicely, which prompted some unevenness.
Sheer Check
A couple of days later, I made a decision to re-test it with solely a sheer layer of product. This time, it solely stayed cheesy for a pair hours– the sensation did find yourself going away fully. It was additionally transfer-proof almost immediately. The sheer wash of shade stayed seen by means of 9 hours of damage and consuming. And on one other day, the sheer shade lasted 11 hours! It was nonetheless drying, however the feeling wasn’t as noticeable because it was in a a lot thinner layer. Total, it was a way more optimistic expertise, although individuals with dry lips would nonetheless most likely really feel discomfort.
Despite the fact that the phrases “lip tint” and “lip stain” have turn out to be extra interchangeable just lately, it’s necessary to notice that these don’t go away a stain behind on the lips, even when worn daring.
Carrying the shade Skinnydip on each the cheeks and lips.
On the Cheeks
I’m sometimes not a fan of 2-in-1 lip and cheek merchandise. To be trustworthy, I by no means really feel like they carry out nicely in each areas. I really cherished how this wore as a blush, and should even favor it that means. The colour begins out sheer however may be constructed up and blends simply with simply the fingers. It units rapidly however doesn’t really feel or look dry on the cheeks– most likely as a result of it’s layered on high of my moisturizer, primer and basis. Utilized as blush, I additionally don’t really feel stickiness in any respect.
If you happen to’ve already picked a couple of shades up solely to find you don’t like the texture of the end, I positively advocate testing them as blushes so you’ll be able to nonetheless make use out of them.
Conclusion
After my checks, I nonetheless have a bizarre relationship with this product. I like the best way I can obtain a sheer stage of blurred shade that truly lasts– it’s an progressive product for positive. Nonetheless, I’m simply not the largest fan of the way it feels, even when utilized sheer. I’d by no means apply this constructed as much as daring once more.
This can be a product I’d particularly attain for once I want the lasting energy, however on the identical time, I don’t essentially wish to be sporting these for prolonged durations of time as somebody who has dry lips. When you’ve got a better tolerance for a conventional matte really feel, you should still like these!
