I first chanced upon the Maybelline Velvet Mattes on Instagram when Georgina Wilson, Maybelline’s newest celebrity endorser, wore it to NY Fashion Week. It immediately piqued my interest as I am on yet another matte lip kick and have been looking to adding to my arsenal. The perfect matte is quite elusive. It can be likened to a unicorn though with the latest product releases, the golden matte is not as equally fictional.

But I admit that I was too quick to pass judgment and thankfully, the Velvet Mattes were on sale (still are!) when I made my fortuitous trip and obviously, I came home with one. Of course, I couldn’t pass up on the chance to find that perfect matte formula. And though I played it safe by getting just one shade (I had to make sure I loved the formula before I hoarded), I swatched all available shades for reference:
