Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick: MAT 3: Review/Swatch/LOTD - Divassence!
Coming to the shade, it is a sheer orange shade and my first orange lippy *Yayyyyy!!!* The colour is sheer but buildable. It looks like a vibrant orange on tube but when you swatch it once, it hardly shows up, looks more like the swatch of a tinted lip balm than like the swatch of a lipstick (let alone a lipstick range which claims to have bold shades). It takes 3-4 swipes on lips for the colour to show up properly, still it wasn't enough to cover the pigmentation completely. The picture shown below was taken after 3 swipes.

Be sure to prep your lips before you apply this, otherwise it clings to all the dry patches and looks horrible, seriously. On top of a lip balm it glides smoothly, no tugging, no dragging. If applied on top of a lip balm it stays for around 2-3 hours. Instead, apply lip balm, wait for 10 minutes, wipe it off and then apply this, then it stays put for more than 4 hours easily (with light snacking) and it stains to a nice coral colour.
I have MAT 1 and 2.. Havent faced any issues with those as yet..
I had almost bought MAT 3 today! thank god I didnt, doesnt look matte one bit.Nice review and if you do press it back into the tube and refrigerate it for some time it should do the trick.
mine is still very much intact..
