Prepare Your Lips: Ensure lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate to remove any dry patches, then apply a light, non-greasy lip balm and blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
Apply Precisely: Use the arrow applicator to outline your Cupid's bow, then the rest of your upper lip. Follow by gliding across the bottom lip. The pointed tip helps with precision.
Thin, Even Coat: Apply a thin, even layer. Avoid over-applying, as this can make the product feel heavy or crumbly. One dip should be enough for both lips.
Allow to Dry: Let the liquid lipstick dry completely without pressing your lips together for a few minutes. This is crucial for activating its smudge-proof and transfer-resistant properties.
Avoid Oily Foods: While highly durable, consuming very oily foods can sometimes break down the formula, particularly at the inner lip line.
Expect a comfortable wear for a matte product, with the color remaining vibrant and true for many hours. The intense pigmentation means you'll achieve a striking red lip that commands attention and stays perfectly in place.
Before your first application, ensure your lips are clean and dry. For best results with any matte liquid lipstick, gently exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin cells. Follow with a very light application of a non-oily lip balm, blotting off any excess before applying the Superstay Matte Ink. This provides a smooth canvas for the product.
This product is ideal for individuals who prioritize long-lasting wear and an intense matte finish. It's compatible with most makeup routines but shines brightest when paired with minimal lip contact activities. Its 'Red' color family makes it a versatile choice for various skin tones, offering a classic and bold look.
Storage: Store the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and longevity.
Cleaning: Ensure the applicator is clean before reinserting to prevent contamination. If the product rim gets built up, gently wipe it with a clean tissue.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing nature, this lipstick requires an oil-based makeup remover (e.g., bi-phasic removers or cleansing oils) for effective and gentle removal. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press onto lips for a few seconds, then gently wipe away.
