The Maybelline Superstay 24-Hour Lipstick in Red is designed for individuals seeking vibrant, long-lasting lip color that stays put throughout the day. Its primary benefit is its exceptional endurance, offering up to 24 hours of wear without significant transfer. However, users should be prepared for a specific removal process due to its tenacious formula. This product offers an intense red shade with a comfortable, durable finish for extended wear.
Up to 24-Hour Wear: Engineered to provide exceptional longevity, resisting fading and smudging for extended periods.

The Maybelline Superstay 24-Hour Lipstick in Red is a high-performance product designed for durability and vibrant color. For optimal performance, ensure your lips are clean and dry before application. A thin, even layer will provide the best longevity and most comfortable wear. Allow ample time (1-2 minutes) for the product to fully dry to achieve its transfer-resistant properties.
Application Tips:
Prep Your Lips: Gently exfoliate your lips if needed, then apply a thin layer of non-oily lip balm. Blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
Outline and Fill: Use the applicator to carefully outline your lips, then fill in the entire area. For best results, avoid applying multiple thick layers.
Allow to Dry: Keep your lips slightly parted and avoid rubbing them together until the product is completely dry and set. This is crucial for its 24-hour wear and transfer-proof finish.
Real-World Scenarios:
Long Workdays: Ideal for professionals who need their lipstick to last from morning meetings to evening engagements without reapplication.
Dining Out: Its transfer-resistant nature means you can enjoy meals and drinks without leaving lipstick marks on glasses or napkins.
Special Events: Perfect for weddings, parties, or performances where you need your lip color to remain flawless for hours.
Active Lifestyles: Stays put through light exercise and general daily activities, offering reliable wear.
Clean Lips: Begin with clean, dry lips free of any oils or balms. A smooth canvas is essential.
Apply Color: Use the precision applicator to apply the liquid lipstick evenly. Start from the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth. Glide across the entire lower lip.
Allow to Set: Let the lipstick dry completely for about 60-120 seconds. Avoid pressing your lips together during this time.
Optional Topcoat: If this variant includes a conditioning balm or gloss (often found in dual-ended Superstay products), apply it after the color has dried for added comfort and shine. (Info needed: Confirm if this specific variant is dual-ended).
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types. If you have naturally dry lips, consider using a hydrating lip primer before application, blotting off any excess.
Other Makeup: Compatible with most facial makeup. Apply foundation and concealer first, then lipstick.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its formula integrity. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing formula, this lipstick requires an oil-based makeup remover. Apply a generous amount to a cotton pad, press gently onto your lips for a few seconds to break down the product, then wipe away. Avoid harsh rubbing to protect your lips.
