The Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is a go-to choice for scenarios where longevity and minimal maintenance are paramount. Its formula is designed to withstand meals, drinks, and extended wear, making it ideal for:
Long Workdays: Apply once in the morning and enjoy consistent color throughout your professional day without worrying about fading.
Special Events: Perfect for weddings, parties, or social gatherings where you want your lip color to remain flawless from start to finish.
Active Lifestyles: Its transfer-proof nature means it's less likely to smudge during activities where you might touch your face.
The 320 Individualist shade, an impactful orange-red, provides a bold and confident aesthetic. It can be paired with neutral eye makeup for a statement look or integrated into a more vibrant, coordinated makeup theme.
Prep Your Lips: Ensure your lips are smooth by gently exfoliating. Apply a very thin layer of non-oily lip balm, then blot off any excess to avoid compromising the formula's adhesion.
Apply Thinly: Use the arrow applicator to apply a thin, even coat. Start by defining your cupid's bow and lower lip line, then fill in the rest of your lips.
Avoid Rubbing: Let the liquid lipstick dry completely for about 2-3 minutes without pressing or rubbing your lips together. This allows the film-forming properties to set properly.
One Coat is Enough: The high pigmentation means one layer is usually sufficient for full coverage. Layering too many thick coats can lead to a heavy feeling or cracking.
Prepare Lips: For the smoothest application, gently exfoliate your lips. Apply a light, non-oily lip balm and blot off any excess before applying the liquid lipstick. This helps prevent dryness.
Outline and Fill: Use the pointed tip of the unique arrow applicator to precisely outline your cupid's bow and the edges of your lips.
Apply Even Coat: Fill in your lips with a thin, even layer of color using the flat side of the applicator.
Allow to Dry: Let the lipstick dry for approximately 2-3 minutes without pressing your lips together. This allows the formula to set and become transfer-proof.
This liquid lipstick is suitable for most skin types. However, individuals with naturally dry lips may benefit from more intensive lip preparation (exfoliation and light balm) to ensure comfortable wear.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and longevity.
Seal Tightly: Always ensure the cap is securely twisted shut after each use to prevent the product from drying out.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your liquid lipstick to maintain hygiene. Do not dilute the product with water or other substances, as this can alter its performance and shelf life.
Due to its long-lasting and transfer-proof nature, this liquid lipstick requires an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water specifically formulated for waterproof makeup. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto lips for a few seconds, then wipe away thoroughly.
