The Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Lip Color in Delicious Pink is designed for individuals seeking a vibrant, long-lasting lip color that withstands daily activities without constant reapplication. Its dual-ended design and micro-flex formula offer up to 24 hours of transfer-proof wear with a non-drying finish, ensuring comfortable, soft lips all day. While its durability is a major win, achieving the full 24-hour wear requires proper application technique and removal with specific products.
Up to 24-Hour Wear: Enjoy exceptionally long-lasting color that stays put through eating, drinking, and daily activities.
Dual-Ended Design: Features a liquid lip color on one end and a conditioning balm/topcoat on the other, providing a complete lip solution.
Micro-Flex Formula: This innovative formula allows the color to move with your lips, preventing cracking, crumbling, or stiffness.
Transfer-Proof Finish: Once dry, the lip color resists transferring onto clothes, cups, or skin, maintaining a clean look.
Non-Drying Comfort: Despite its long-wear capabilities, the included conditioning balm ensures lips feel soft and comfortable, avoiding the dry sensation often associated with extended-wear lipsticks.
Vibrant Delicious Pink Shade: A beautiful and versatile pink hue that provides a pop of color suitable for various occasions and skin tones.

Specific Removal Needed: Standard cleansers may not fully remove the long-wear formula; an oil-based remover is often necessary.
Initial Drying Time: You need to allow the color to fully dry before applying the balm for optimal performance.
Color Options: While this is a beautiful pink, the overall range of shades within this specific dual-ended product may be more limited than single-step lipsticks.

The Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Lip Color in Delicious Pink is engineered for demanding wear, making it an excellent choice for long workdays, special events, or anytime you need your lip color to last without fail. Its transfer-proof nature means you can confidently drink from glasses, eat meals, and even give kisses without leaving a trace of color behind. This is particularly beneficial for professional settings or social gatherings where frequent touch-ups are impractical.
To maximize the 24-hour wear and comfortable feel:
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and lightly exfoliated. Any oils or balms on your lips can interfere with the color's adherence.
Apply Liquid Color: Using the doe-foot applicator, apply a thin, even coat of the liquid lip color to your bare lips. Start from the center and move outwards.
Allow to Dry Fully: This is a critical step. Let the color dry completely for at least 2 minutes before touching your lips together or proceeding to the next step. It should feel slightly tacky but not wet.
Apply Conditioning Balm: Once the color is dry, apply the clear conditioning balm from the other end. This locks in the color, adds shine, and provides much-needed moisture, preventing dryness and enhancing comfort.
Users typically find the color holds up remarkably well. While '24 hours' can vary based on individual habits (e.g., very oily foods might challenge its longevity slightly more), it consistently provides 8-12+ hours of solid wear. The micro-flex formula allows your lips to move naturally, so it won't crack or flake even after hours of talking, smiling, or minor stretching. Reapplying the clear balm throughout the day can refresh the feel and look without disturbing the base color.
Upon first use, simply uncap the liquid color end and the conditioning balm end. Follow the 'Application for Optimal Performance' steps detailed above. No specific setup is required beyond understanding the two-step process.
Skin Tones: The Delicious Pink shade is a versatile pink that can complement a wide range of skin tones, from fair to deep. Its vibrancy makes it a standout color.
Other Products: This lip color is designed to be self-sufficient. While you can apply a separate gloss over the conditioning balm for added shine, it may slightly reduce the transfer-proof quality. It pairs well with any full face of makeup.
Storage: Store the product upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, to maintain its formulation and prevent drying out.
Cleaning: If the applicators accumulate excess product, gently wipe them with a clean tissue before returning them to the tube. Do not use water or other liquids inside the tubes, as this can affect the product's integrity.
Removal: To effectively remove the Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Lip Color, use an oil-based makeup remover or a micellar water specifically designed for long-wear or waterproof products. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto your lips for a few seconds to allow it to dissolve the color, then wipe away. Repeat if necessary.
