The Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick 180 Revolutionary is designed for those who need their lip color to withstand daily activities without fading or smudging. Its 24-hour wear claim holds up well under normal conditions, making it ideal for long workdays, special events, or anytime you want to avoid constant reapplication. The matte finish provides a sophisticated look, and the transfer-proof quality is excellent for preventing lipstick marks on coffee cups, clothing, or face masks.
Prep Your Lips: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and exfoliated. For optimal comfort, you can apply a light, non-oily lip balm a few minutes prior and blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
Outline with Precision: Use the tip of the precision arrow applicator to carefully outline your cupid's bow and the outer corners of your lips.
Fill in: Once outlined, use the flat side of the applicator to fill in your lips with a thin, even layer of color.
Allow to Dry: Crucially, do not press your lips together for approximately 2-3 minutes while the product sets. This allows the formula to dry down completely and lock in its transfer-proof properties.
Avoid Oily Foods: While highly durable, oily foods can sometimes break down the formula over extended periods, so be mindful during meals if maximum longevity is desired.
This lipstick performs exceptionally in scenarios where durability is key, such as public speaking, eating out, or extended wear events. Its bold '180 Revolutionary' shade offers a striking red that maintains its intensity throughout the day.
Shake Well (Optional): Before first use, or if the product has been sitting, a gentle shake can help ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Clean Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. For smoother application, gently exfoliate lips to remove any dry flakes.
Apply Evenly: Use the applicator to apply a thin, even layer as described in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section.
Allow to Dry: Patience is key. Let the product dry completely without rubbing lips together to ensure maximum staying power.
Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types. Individuals with naturally very dry lips may benefit from moisturizing and blotting their lips before application.
Other Lip Products: Best used on its own for optimal performance. If a lip liner is desired, ensure it is completely dry before applying the Superstay Matte Ink. Avoid layering with glosses or oily balms on top, as this can compromise the matte finish and longevity.
Storage: Store the lipstick upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Cleaning: Ensure the lid is securely twisted shut after each use to prevent the product from drying out.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing formula, this lipstick is best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto the lips for a few seconds, then wipe away. Repeat until all color is gone.
