Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink Review

I chose the colour "Voyager" to review. It is a dark red with berry undertones. The packaging is true to colour and looks very chic.

The wand applicator is shaped in a point with a hole in the middle to hold product. It is firm and not too fluffy, which helps give a clean application. The tip also gives precision and I did not need to use a lip liner.

It has a sweet, fruity-caramel scent which is not overpowering. The colour was very opaque and covered my lips in one swipe.

It took a while to dry down and was sticky for a few minutes, but eventually dried down to a matte finish. It is not crumbly and stays on very well with no transferring. It did not remove with micellar water, but came off easily with an oil cleanser.

I would like to try other shades in this range.

Matte lipsticks are usually super drying and cracking but this is not the case. It dries fast but is still super moisturizing and extremely long lasting. Plus a gorgeous shade!

I have used so many expensive products that offer the same benefits and for the price, this product wins! You definitely have to let it dry but that doesn't bother me. Overall will definitely keep buying.

I usually wear reasonably natural shades of lipstick, no bright reds or purples for this girl, but I thought I'd try something a bit different and went for the "Voyager" colour to try. Packaging was nice enough, anything that shows the colour of the product rather than just a plain black/white etc container is a win in my book. I did have problems with the applicator, especially the bow on my top lip, and discovered just how quickly the product set making it difficult to wipe away the over-run. But once I was happy with the application I was very pleased with the results. The colour was more intense than I would usually wear but after a while decided I quite liked it, and definitely was fond of the matte look. It didn't feel tacky at all and I was very impressed with the wear time. It lasted all morning and didn't start to wear off until later in the afternoon when it was eating time. I found the outline lasted all day, but the inside did need a touch up after eating. All in all I was really impressed with it, and would definitely look at purchasing more of the more neutral colours at the other end of the range.

I LOVED the colour and look of this lipstick. I got the 'Lover' shade which worked we with my pale complexion. It was so easy to apply and I felt like I didn't have to go out to purchase a lip liner to wear it. It's only downfall was it's texture. Two hours into my initial application it was still sticky! That definitely would not stop me from wearing this product again. The positives well out weighed the negatives. I can't wait to purchase more shades of the Maybelline Superstay Lip Ink.

This lipstick is so appealing for staying power and it does last, but it starts to break down in the middle after drinks or meals and needs to be re-applied. I purchased this in Pioneer, which is the perfect blue based red. It can be applied very sparingly as it is super pigmented. It does have very good staying power, if your on a smoothie diet with a straw it'll last the whole 16 hours... It felt slightly sticky when I applied it, and it also made my lips feel very dry and like they were coated in something unnatural.

I liked this lipstick, the matte finish is really nice and the colours are super pretty. The product is highly pigmented and very vibrant. Application is easy and once applied it takes a while to dry which can be uncomfortable but then it like a lip tattoo it won't smudge, bleed or move at all. This product is the best long-lasting lipstick I have found, my only complaint is that it can be a little drying to my lips.

This liquid lipstick is both great and terrible because once you apply it it is quite literally impossible to remove. You can eat and drink and do anything and it won’t budge. But it is really hard to get it off once you want to remove it. It’s also a very moisturising formula so it doesn’t really dry down and stays slightly sticky.
