Maybelline Super Stay 24 HR Colour Lipstick Review

The shade I am reviewing is 'Keep Up the Flame'. As the name suggests, this is a fiery red colour.

This promises to last on your lips for 24 hours... it doesn't. I purchased this to wear to my sister's 21st party as I was going as Morticia. Thus I needed an extremely long-lasting red lipstick that would endure drinking and hours without touchups.

This does last longer on my lips than traditional lipstick, but I noticed it starts to degrade around the 3 hour when drinking. Without drinking or eating I can get another 2 or so hours wear out of it before having to touch it up.

This comes with a doe foot applicatior which I find super easy to use, and on the other end is a clear gloss that seals the lipstick. I like the idea and the gloss is really comfortable to use and wear.

What I didn't like about this is that it definitely didn't stay on as long as it claimed to, and it did dry my lips up a bit.

The pigmentation is good for the first hour or so, but then starts to fade away which I find a little annoying.

Overall I think this is average and I wouldn't purchase it again. I think you can get better lipsticks for a smaller price, that perform better.

I really disliked this lipstick. I bought it in 'Cherry' as I love a good cherry-hued lippy and I was attracted by the idea of a long lasting liquid lipstick.

It comes in a double-ended tube with the lip colour at one end and a clear conditioning balm on the other end, which you apply after the colour to seal it in and leave your lips supple.

You apply this with a doe-foot applicator which it allows it to glide on easily. The colour is pretty pigmented, and once I sealed it with the balm it left my lips feeling soft and looking great.

This didn't last long though, I found as soon as the balm wore off which was pretty quick, my lips felt very disgusting and dry. If they could feel dry AND sticky, that would be how I'd describe it! I just wanted to wipe the colour off my lips.

I also didn't find the colour particular long-lasting overall, definately not the 24 hours it said it would. I found that like most lippies it faded first in the centre, leaving me with patchy colour that began to flake off.

I think there's so many alternatives if you're after a long-lasting colour now and I would definately not re-purchase or recommend this particular one.

Yes I thought I’ll have some of that, a lipstick that will stay on all day through drinking and eating, whilst keeping the lips hydrated and not dried out. Grabbed the plum intense colour with high hopes, which were shattered! Firstly the good news, the balm they put in the opposite side to the colour lipstick is heaven!! I’m sure it’s the same as their baby lips formula as it really did make my lips soft, which after use of the lipstick I used all up rescuing them.

The 24 hours lipstick was horrible, now I do keep my lips in pretty condition so I know it wasn’t the fault of my lips. The colour I thought I had brought was actually really mute it wasn’t plum although that is what the tube and packaging read, it sat on my lips as a deep pink hue not near dark enough to be classed as a purple plum colour. It flaked from the get go, I applied and waited for the lipstick to set before blotting or putting my lips together, but once set I went on with the application of the balm to seal it and bam, flaking. So dishearten I took off the colour, to my pain I might add as I was at work at the time and had no other way to remove than a tissue and the balm at the other end of the tube, so I rubbed my poor lips raw, but it looked better than to have flaking uneven lipstick. I used the rest of the balm up that day just treating my lips back to health.

I’m not sure if I got a weird reaction or a dud product but for me personally I won’t be touching it again.

I purchased Maybelline Superstay 24hr Color in Burgundy (#585), which is a deep, dark, red-wine burgundy colour packaged in a dual ended tube. The lipstick colour twists off one end of the tube and has a colts-foot applicator. At the other end of the tube is a slide out, retractable lip balm.

This lipstick was very disappointing and didn't live up to expectations, especially since Maybelline's website stated "No crumbling, caking, fading, feathering or transferring." I found that this colour "split" if I smiled and remained stripy for the rest of the day, so much for the "micro-flex formula"! This may not be as noticable with lighter colours but after trying this darker one and being horribly disappointed, I'm not prepared to purchase another Maybelline Superstay 24hr lipstick.

I found that I had to reapply the moisturising lip balm every hour, as it doesn't last very long and the colour underneath still feels very dry. This could probably be fixed by applying a small amount of lip balm before applying any make-up and then removing the excess lip balm before applying the lipstick, although this may compromise the staying power of the lipstick even more.

When reapplying the Superstay lip balm, the lipstick colour did start to flake off a little and ended up on the lip balm. The amount of lip balm provided in the tube is definitely not enough to last as long as the colour and if you apply any regular lip balm (any brand) once you've run out of Maybelline Superstay balm, the lipstick colour goes patchy and immediately starts coming off. Apparently Maybelline Superstay Balm is sold individually with no colour attached, but I haven't seen it anywhere and I don't see why they can't provide something that lasts as long as the colour does, seeing as the two need to be used together.  

Compared to Maybelline Superstay Gloss 12hr, which comes with a clear lip gloss instead of a lip balm (the gloss tends to run out when there's still half a tube of colour), the formula of the 14hr seems to be a little better. Even though it does pill and look patchy after about 3 hours. I found it lasted longer and felt better on my lips than the 24hr colour does.

Personally, I'm very disappointed in this product and would not recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for a decent Maybelline lipstick rather avoid these dual ended colour and gloss/balm tubes and try Maybelline 14hr Lipstick in the traditional lipstick bullet packaging.

I'm seriously shocked at the negative reviews and I'm so sorry they haven't had the awesome experience I have. I bought Very Cranberry and loved it soooo much I went out the next day and also bought Coral and Toffee too!! As per the other reviews, the lipstick colour twists off one end of the tube and has a colts-foot applicator. At the other end of the tube is a slide out, retractable lip balm... it really does last much much longer than any other lipstick/lip gloss I've ever tried. I ate and drunk and ate and drunk some more and did a yoga class and sweated and it was STILL on and looking fresh - not dry or flaky at all. I've had it last 8 hours which is a miracle.

My mum had this product and I nicked it off her because I loved it so much they have a variety of different colours and shades for all skin colours and preferences. I find being outdoors alot I need something that doesnt dry my lips out too much and that I have to constantly reapply and this product is perfect!

The first time I ever used this I really liked it, it was well pigmented and the clear that goes on over top felt like silk but for me it did not have the staying power it said it would have, it came off while I ate or had a drink then if I went to reapply, it went flaky and felt disgusting on my lips and would then have to take it all off and start again which was inconvenient. I had the coral colour to begin with and that it may just have been that shade so I got the shade in timeless toffee but again it done the same thing. I suppose if you were not planning on having anything to eat or drink it would stay on longer but how likely is that? I was really disappointed with this lippy would not ever buy again and would not recommend to anyone. There are some really nice shades but its not enough to get me to use it again.

The clear side of it though did feel amazing once the colour had set and it was applied but after a while of the clear wearing out, lips become very dry and feel gross.

I have this in a deep mauvey colour (not sure of the actual name). The colour payoff is really good and it remains that colour the whole way through wearing. I find it easy to apply to the lips with the stick and then apply the balm overtop! It does tend to be really really drying if you don't continue to apply the balm - it dries out the lips quite badly. It is also very hard to touchup as you can't really apply more overtop - you need to take it off and reapply if you have made mistakes/it has worn etc. Overall a pretty average product, plenty of better ones out there!

This product started off great! Was very pigmented, and went on well, You apply the liquid lipstick from one end, and seal it in with the balm at the other. However, the lipstick killed my lips! Even with constant application of the balm, it flaked and left my lips in terrible condition. NEVER AGAIN

This product was ok, but it did leave my lips feeling pretty dry and meant I had to replace the balm part of it more often, meaning that i ran out of this sooner than the colour end. I liked the colour, but I have a problem with dry lips anyway, so this is not the product for me.
