This innovative dual-ended product combines intense color with a sealing balm, ensuring no fading, smudging, or transferring for up to 24 hours.

The Maybelline SuperStay 24hr Dual Lipstick is designed for maximum staying power and minimal fuss, making it ideal for busy individuals, special events, or situations where reapplication is inconvenient. Its 'lifeproof' claim holds true for many users, standing up to meals, drinks, and daily activities.
Prepare Lips: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and exfoliated. Avoid applying any lip balm or primer that contains oils directly before the liquid color, as this can affect adherence.
Apply Color: Apply the liquid lipstick side evenly to your clean, bare lips. Start from the center and move outwards. Use a thin, even layer.
Allow to Dry: Wait approximately 2 minutes for the liquid color to fully dry and set. Do not press your lips together during this time.
Apply Balm: Once the color is completely dry, apply the conditioning balm from the other end. This balm locks in the color, adds comfort, and provides a smooth finish.
Reapply Balm (Optional): You can reapply the balm throughout the day as needed to refresh the feel and look of your lips, without affecting the underlying color's longevity.
Long Workdays: Apply in the morning and enjoy consistent color without worrying about touch-ups during meetings or coffee breaks.
Dining Out: Eat and drink confidently, knowing your lip color won't transfer onto your glass or fade during your meal.
Special Occasions: Perfect for weddings, parties, or events where you need your makeup to last all day and night.
Mask Wearing: While the balm may transfer slightly, the underlying color is designed to be transfer-proof, minimizing smudging onto face masks.
Applying the Maybelline SuperStay 24hr Dual Lipstick is straightforward, but attention to the drying time of the liquid color is crucial for achieving its advertised longevity and transfer-proof benefits. Follow the 'Application Steps for Optimal Performance' detailed in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section.
Other Lip Products: The SuperStay 24hr Dual Lipstick is generally a standalone product for its long-wear properties. While you can apply non-oil-based clear glosses over the dried color, this might slightly compromise the transfer-proof claim. Avoid applying traditional lip balms or oily primers directly underneath the color layer.
Makeup Remover: Compatible with most oil-based makeup removers, which are recommended for easy and complete removal. Micellar water or water-based removers may struggle to dissolve the long-wearing formula.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain product integrity.
Period After Opening (PAO): Always check the PAO symbol on the packaging (often an open jar icon with a number like '12M' for 12 months). This indicates how long the product is safe to use after opening. Discard the product after this period to prevent potential irritation or reduced performance.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your lipstick to maintain hygiene and prevent the transfer of bacteria.
Cleaning: Keep the applicator clean by wiping any excess product off the stem before returning it to the tube.
