MAYBELLINE Color Sensational Ultimatte Matte Lipstick — More Cedar (Deep Rust Brown), Slim Non‑Drying, High‑Pigment Finish

Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte in More Cedar is a slim, non-drying matte lipstick that delivers intense, warm rust-brown pigment with a lightweight, blurring finish.

This slim bullet from Maybelline’s Neo-Neutrals collection offers an ultra-saturated earthy brown—More Cedar—formulated to feel cushiony rather than chalky. The texture is designed to smooth the appearance of lip lines while giving a bold, extreme-matte look without the tight, flaky sensation commonly associated with matte formulas. Packaged in a luxe, thin tube, it’s made to layer easily for anything from subtle tinting to full-coverage color.

What makes the Ultimatte formula different from regular matte lipsticks?

The Ultimatte formula uses a lightweight, blurring texture that minimizes the look of lip lines and applies with a soft, velvety feel. It focuses on high pigment payoff so a single swipe gives rich color while avoiding the dry finish many mattes create. The slim bullet design also helps control application for precise edges.

• High-impact pigments for strong color payoff
• Blurring gel texture smooths lip surface
• Non-drying, cushiony matte sensation
• Slim bullet for accurate application

How long will the color stay on and how does it wear throughout the day?

Color intensity is strong from the first application and maintains a matte look as it sits. While it’s designed for long wear, typical results depend on eating, drinking, and skin chemistry. The formula resists feathering and keeps saturation, though touch-ups after meals will refresh crisp edges and fullness of shade.

• First-swipe saturation that endures through normal daily activities
• Reduced feathering thanks to concentrated pigments
• Best touch-up routine: blot and reapply for peak intensity

How do I apply More Cedar for different effects—subtle, bold, or layered?

You can achieve several looks with this shade depending on pressure and layering. For a soft, everyday look, dab and blend with a fingertip or brush for a stained finish. For full coverage and sharp edges, apply directly from the slim bullet and define the lip line; blot once for a slightly diffused finish or build multiple layers for maximum opacity.

• Sheered stain: lightly press and blend
• Classic matte: full swipe and outline with the bullet
• High intensity: layer two to three light coats
• Precise edges: use a small lip brush or a neutral liner

Which complementary makeup products create the best look with this shade?

More Cedar pairs well with neutral-to-warm complexions and earthy eye palettes. Use lightweight base products to keep focus on the lips—BB cream or medium-coverage foundation creates a smooth canvas. Bronze or warm brown eyeshadows, defined brows, and a coat of mascara balance the deep rust-brown without competing for attention.

• Base: BB cream or light foundation for an even canvas
• Cheeks: warm terracotta or soft bronzer
• Eyes: warm neutrals, brown liners, and mascara
• Lip prep: exfoliate and moisturize before application

Who is this for? Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte in More Cedar is suited for anyone seeking a modern, warm neutral with strong pigment and a comfortable matte feel—ideal for those who want the drama of an extreme-matte finish without the dryness. It works well for everyday wearers who prefer earthy tones, makeup lovers who build looks around bold lips, and anyone who values a slim, travel-friendly lipstick design.
