Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink Review

I bought mine from the Philippines for just $6 each, when I was on my holiday last month. Surprised it is being sold here thrice that price!

I looooooveee the shades! I have "Lover" and "Voyager". Both are easy to work with, glides on easily and great colour pay-off.

However, for some reason, it doesn't stay on me longer than 3 hours! I exfoliate and applies some lip balm before application but it just still wouldn't stay long at all. :(

Love the way the wand applies the color to the lips, makes it very easy to apply. Unfortunately half way through the day it gets tacky and does not feel the best . It seemed to last most of the day even in its sticky state! I liked the pink shade l chose , and it seemed to have agood coverage and pigments. But would only ,buy it on sale if purchasing again.

Have this product in multiple colours and love every single one of them! So Matte and pigmented literally in love! My personal favourites have to be Lover and Dreamer! And another perk of this Lip ink its so hydrating unlike many other lip inks I own!

The Matte Lip Ink did what it said on the pack! It's super pigmented and stays put. The consistency was thin and smooth, and it dried quickly unlike some similar products I've tried, so no issues with smudging. The colour was far lighter than the swatch indicated, and if I was purchasing again I'd go for a more vibrant shade to make the most of the pigment.

I bought the shade "seductress" as I was looking for a good nude matte. This definitely is a great nude for me. It is matte. It does go on well- the applicator has a little hole/reservoir in the middle to hold more product which makes it good to apply without constantly going back to the tube. It stays really well once dried down (mostly), is transfer/kiss-proof for me, and can withstand a small amount of non-greasy eating.

For me, the downsides are that it takes an age to dry down, so you have to pull a face like an amazed fish for far too long, and even when dry, it's still sticky. The stickiness annoys me because it sticks to itself, and then becomes patchy at the water line as it drags itself off your lips.

The stickiness you can sort of fix by either applying a gloss, or gently brushing a little translucent powder- but then it's either not matte, or quite drying. I probably won't buy it again when I pan it, I think there are others which are better and cheaper, but I will use it to match the colour to.

I kinda like this Lip product but it doesn't dry the way I want it so it's a bit sticky like a drying glue consistency. I like that it's really long lasting even when I eat greasy or oily food, it stays on my lips. I can absolutely say that it does what it should do but it's something that I wouldn't use for everyday but on certain occasions where I need a really long lasting lipstick, I would use this. I love all their nude-ish shades as I'm someone who wears those kind of shades and it compliments my skin.

Overall, I would use it again but not for everyday.

OK, I do not know where I stand on this product! First of all, the pricepoint is amazing, its super pigmented and I love the scent (vanilla-ry), and it does last the whole day BUT it just doesn't seem to work for me. Because it is matte, I have tried putting lipbalm on before application to give my lips some moisture, but then the lip ink doesnt stick and it just turns out to be an ugly mess. If I use it on clean, dry lips it looks great but is suuuuuper sticky and if your lips get dry it once again goes weird with lipbalm and gives uneven coverage. If I eat or drink with it, the inner part comes off but the outside is still perfect so requires a slight touch up.

I do like this product, but I am super conscious of how sticky it makes my lips and need to check it often to make sure there is still even coverage. And it doesnt budge. I have to use makeup remover to get it off. For a night out, I would recommend 100% but for a full days wear in the office a bit too uncomfortable for me.

I was super excited to try this - a matte lippy in such a fab red shade. First application was tough - you need to be super precise and I felt a little like a kid raiding her Mumma’s make up. It took me a fair while to apply and I think I ended up putting too much on because it dried a bit weird. Very matte, which I loved, but a little sticky at the same time, and heavy towards the inside of my lip. It did last for ages though - most of the day and through eating. It did cling to dry bits on my lips though. But staying power is definitely up there. Second time I used a lip scrub before hand and it went on a little easier. Used less this time and went more smoothly. Still didn’t really like the feel on my lips so I added a smidge if creamier lipstick on top which gave me a really nice finish and it lasted all night. Overall, I’ll definitely persist with trying it because it’s a great colour and stayed put, but I wasn’t in love straight away.

I was curious to try the Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink, as I haven't used mattes as an everyday lip feature before. The 5ml container fits ok into the hand, and has a white lid that might get a bit discoloured as time goes on. The arrow applicator took a bit to get the knack of, but seemed to work well. I did the v first then followed the contour of my upper lips, then slicked across the bottom as suggested. It does only take a thin layer. I really like the colour "Lover" & it has a nice, almost vanillary fragrance. I think I might be a shine rather than a matte girl, as I felt my lips looked a bit flat. The colour didn't last as long as I'd hoped. I most likely wouldn't purchase again but perhaps it's just getting used to the matte look?
