For optimal results with your Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick, start with clean, dry lips. Use the pointed tip of the arrow applicator to meticulously outline your Cupid's bow and lower lip line. Next, use the wider side of the applicator to evenly fill in your lips, starting from the center and moving outwards. It's crucial to allow the lipstick to dry completely for a few minutes without pressing your lips together. This vital step ensures a smooth, long-lasting matte finish and activates its full kiss-proof and transfer-resistant properties. Applying a thin, even layer contributes significantly to its longevity and comfort.
Preparation: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and free of any oil or balm. Gently exfoliate if necessary for the smoothest canvas.
Precise Application: Using the distinct arrow applicator, begin by defining your Cupid's bow with the pointed tip. Outline your lower lip from the center outwards. Then, use the wider side to fill in your entire lips, starting from the center.
Drying Time: Allow approximately 2-3 minutes for the lipstick to dry down completely. Avoid pressing your lips together during this time to prevent tackiness and ensure optimal wear.
Due to its long-lasting nature, this lipstick is best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water. Saturate a cotton pad with your chosen remover and gently press it onto your lips for a few seconds before wiping away. Repeat until all product is removed.
Store the lipstick upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its formula integrity.
