This Maybelline Superstay Dual Ended Lip Color is engineered for maximum performance, making it ideal for long days, special events, or any time you need your lip color to last without constant reapplication. Its micro-flex formula allows the color to adapt to your lips' natural movements, ensuring the vibrant purple shade remains smooth and intact. This means you can smile, talk, and even eat (carefully) without the color cracking or flaking.
Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prep Your Lips: For the best results, ensure your lips are smooth and exfoliated before applying. Avoid applying heavy lip balm beforehand, as this can affect adherence.
Apply Color Evenly: Apply a thin, even layer of the liquid color to clean, dry lips using the precise applicator. Start from the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.
Allow to Set: Crucially, allow the liquid color to dry completely for at least 2 minutes without pressing your lips together. This setting time is essential for its no-transfer and 24-hour wear properties to activate.
Apply Balm: Once the color is fully dry, apply the clear conditioning balm from the other end. This balm locks in moisture, enhances comfort, and adds a subtle sheen without compromising the long-wear color underneath.
Real-World Applications:
Long Workdays: Maintain a professional and polished look from morning meetings to evening commutes without worrying about touch-ups.
Special Occasions: Perfect for weddings, parties, or dinners where you want your lip color to stay put through food, drinks, and conversations.
Everyday Wear: For those who prefer a low-maintenance makeup routine, this lipstick offers reliable color that lasts throughout daily activities.
Remember that while the color itself is designed to be transfer-proof, the conditioning balm can be reapplied as needed throughout the day to maintain comfort without disturbing the underlying color.
Setup / Application:
Clean Lips: Begin with clean, dry lips. For optimal longevity and comfort, gently exfoliate lips if needed, but ensure they are free of any oils or balms before applying the color.
Apply Color: Using the wand applicator, apply one even coat of the purple liquid lip color to your entire lip area. Work from the center outwards.
Wait to Dry: Keep your lips separated and allow the color to dry completely for 2 minutes. Do not press lips together during this time.
Apply Balm: Once the color is fully dry and set, apply the clear conditioning balm from the other end. Reapply the balm throughout the day as desired for comfort and shine.
Compatibility:
This Maybelline Superstay Dual Ended Lip Color is a standalone lip product. It can be worn with any other makeup. For best results, avoid applying other lip products (like glosses or balms) under the liquid color, as this can affect its adherence and long-wear properties. The purple shade is designed to complement a wide range of skin tones and makeup styles.
Care & Storage:
Cap Securely: Always replace both caps tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its efficacy.
Store Properly: Keep the lip color in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve its texture and longevity.
Removal: To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase remover. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, gently press onto your lips for a few seconds, then wipe away. Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect your lips.
