The Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick in 55 Driver is engineered for maximum staying power and intense color. Its liquid formula glides on smoothly, and thanks to the arrow applicator, you can achieve sharp, defined lines without needing a separate lip liner. Once applied, allow a few moments for the ink to set, transforming into a durable, transfer-proof matte finish. This makes it ideal for long events, meals, or any situation where reapplication isn't convenient. For example, wearing it to a wedding means your lip color will remain flawless from ceremony to reception, or a busy workday where you need your makeup to last from morning coffee to evening meetings. The non-drying formula ensures your lips remain comfortable throughout its wear, avoiding the cracked or tight feeling often associated with traditional matte liquid lipsticks.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Gently blot any excess balm before applying the lipstick.
Apply Precisely: Use the unique arrow applicator. Start by defining your cupid's bow, then move to the outer corners of your upper lip. Repeat for the lower lip, filling in any gaps.
Thin Layers are Key: For best results, apply a single, even layer. Avoid over-applying, as this can affect wear time and comfort.
Allow to Dry: Let the lipstick dry completely for 1-2 minutes without pressing your lips together. This allows the transfer-proof formula to set.
This lipstick is dermatologically tested and odourless, making it suitable for most skin types, including those prone to sensitivity. Its non-drying formula is designed to be comfortable even on dry lips.
Storage: Store the lipstick upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Shelf Life: Always check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging for the product's expiry time once opened. This symbol typically looks like an open jar with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months).
Removal: Due to its long-lasting nature, an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water is recommended for effective and gentle removal. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press onto lips for a few seconds, then gently wipe away.
