The Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in 15 Lover is engineered for superior endurance and vibrant color. When applied correctly, it delivers a flawless, opaque red matte finish that genuinely lasts for hours without fading, smudging, or transferring. Its "ink-colour" concentration means you get intense pigmentation with just one coat.
To achieve optimal performance:
Prep your lips: Ensure your lips are smooth and moisturized. Gently exfoliate if needed, then blot away any excess balm.
Precise Application: Use the unique arrow applicator. Start by defining your cupid's bow, then glide the applicator from the center of your upper lip outwards. Repeat for your bottom lip. The pointed tip helps with precision on the edges.
Allow to Dry: For best results, allow the lipstick to dry completely for a few minutes without pressing your lips together. This ensures the transfer-proof and long-wear properties activate fully.
Once dry, you can confidently eat, drink, and go about your day knowing your bold red lip color will remain intact and vibrant. It's particularly effective for long events, busy workdays, or occasions where frequent touch-ups aren't feasible.
Prepare Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and gently exfoliated. Apply a thin layer of lip balm, allow it to absorb for a minute, then blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
Load Applicator: Remove the arrow applicator from the tube, wiping off any excess product on the rim if necessary.
Outline: Use the pointed tip of the arrow applicator to carefully outline your cupid's bow and the outer edges of your lips.
Fill In: Use the wider, flat side of the applicator to fill in the rest of your lips with color.
Let Set: Keep your lips separated and allow the lipstick to dry completely for 2-5 minutes to ensure maximum longevity and transfer-proof performance. Avoid pressing your lips together during this time.
This liquid lipstick is generally compatible with most lip primers and lip liners. For best results, use a lip primer designed to enhance matte lipstick wear. Due to its long-lasting nature, it's not ideal for layering with other liquid lipsticks, but it pairs well with lip liners of a similar red shade.
Storage: Store the lipstick upright at room temperature to prevent leakage and maintain formula integrity.
Cleaning: Keep the neck of the tube clean to ensure the cap seals properly.
Removal: Due to its 16-hour, transfer-proof formula, this lipstick requires an oil-based makeup remover. Apply a generous amount of an oil-based cleanser or micellar water formulated for waterproof makeup to a cotton pad, press it gently onto your lips for a few seconds to break down the formula, then wipe away. Repeat until all product is removed. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can irritate lips.
