Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink Review

I absolutly love the formula of these. They have pretty good staying power even though they do tend to fade a bit depending on what you're eating or drinking. And they aren't overly drying for your lips. I have extremely dry lips so I don't wear a lot of liquid lipsticks because they can be kinda harsh on your lips moisture. But surprisingly I don't have any issue with these. And I love this color, Creator. Its a beautiful plummy purple.

Thanks again Beauty Review for the chance to trial this product.

I received this matte lip ink in the colour "Lover". It is a bit pink with a touch of purple. It is a bit different to what I was expecting but I am a bit of a lippy fanatic so its all good.

This lip ink comes in a 5ml square tube. The outside colour is similar to the actual product and it. The applicator is oval shaped and has a hole in the middle of it. It is hard, not like a foam applicator which makes it really easy to outline your lips, then fill them in. At this point I will say you do need to be quite careful doing your outline as this lip ink really, really stays in place. So, if you do make a bit of a mistake make sure you have something to wipe it away as soon as possible.

Once you have applied that is it. For the day. The whole day. Lips done.

I drank coffee, water, ate breakfast and lunch, went to the gym all without worrying about my lippy. Amazing!

I will be buying more colours to add to my collection.

This may well be the last lippy you buy, it will last an age.

I decided to buy one of these after seeing it come up for review on Beauty Review. The first one I bought was the shade Romantic (hot pink), which I found on sale. After I tried it and liked it, I bought two more shades: Pioneer (red), and Lover (cool rosy pink).

Each lipstick comes in an oblong, matte plastic tube with a white lid. Each tube contains 5mls, and the body is the colour of the lip shade inside.These come with an applicator brush that has a hole in the centre. The lipstick is reasonably easy to apply with the applicator, although I prefer an angled doe foot to one that is straight up and down. The lipsticks have a pleasant, slightly floral scent.

You do not need to use much product to get a decent coating on your lips. One or two goes over your lips with the applicator is all that is required to achieve an even coat. When first applied this lipstick has a tacky, slightly sticky feeling, but after ten minutes it dries down to a more matte feeling.

These lipsticks have excellent staying power. I find that they easily last all day throughout eating and drinking. They also do not transfer easily. They have the greatest staying power of any liquid lipsticks I have tried. They do not even come off with micellar water! The best way I have found to remove them is to use a facial or body oil. That seems to be the only way to defeat this lipstick’s staying power.

Altogether, these lipsticks are great if you are looking for a matte lipstick that will reliably last all day without requiring touch-ups. The only drawback is that they are very drying, so I would not recommend wearing them for several days in a row.

I have this Lip Ink in 4 colours so it is safe to say that I rate it! My favourite shade is 'Seductress' a dark nude colour. At an afordable price you will not be disapointed in it's staying power - it really does live up to it's SUPERSTAY name. A generous sized product, which applies like a gloss and drives fast to reveal a matte appearance which is not going to budge or transfer until it is removed! Highly pigmented, it comes in a wide range of shades. The applicator is an interesting shape, with a hole in the middle to capture the product. I personally love it as it glides along the shape of the lips easily.

PROS: - Perfect for people who do not wish to reapply throughout the day, prefering a lip colour that has staying power - Wide range of stunning colours available - Affordable

CONS: - The consistancy can be a little tacky, be wary of applying too much product to minimise this.

After hunting for a particular shade for weeks, I found it and it is just perfect. It really stays (in fact the only negative is trying to get it off) and the colour remains vibrant without drying your lips.

These lip ink lipstick is to die for. I have 7 different shades and love all of them. Some of the colours lasts longer than others, but my overall experience with them are excellent. I found that the darker shades tend to fade a bit more, but the other colours like cherry red and my all-time favourite Hustler last from the morning until the following day if you don't wash your face at night.

I am glad to be part of trial team for this fabulous Lip Ink. I received Voyager and it is an amazingly sexy and bold shade. I applied a thin layer and pressed my lips to spread it and it settled so well. It stayed on my lips for the whole day till I woke up next morning to see its still there without fading. The best think I liked about it is that my lips were not sticky (which I don't like) as I experienced with other superstay lipsticks. The other reason I liked about Maybelline Superstay Matt Lip Ink is that it won't leave a stain on your glass/cup (again which I don't like) and it won't smudge after you eat. As I hate to look like a Dracula after eating my food and to see my lipstick ruin before even the party is finished. Thanks Maybelline for maintaining the high quality as always.

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink would have to be one of the best long-lasting lipsticks I’ve ever tried. The colour of the actual lipstick was true to the colour on the container which is fantastic and makes it so easy to pick a shade. I got the colour ‘Lover’ which is a subtle pretty pink. It’s a beautiful colour for my pale complexion. Enough pop to feel I am wearing colour, without my lips entering the room ahead of me or feeling unsure because I’ve gone bold!

Application the first few times felt a bit clumsy, but application still looked great. The applicator is quite long and also has some flex/movement when applying the lipstick, so you don’t feel you have as much control, however it does go on nicely when you get past that. The applicator shape is also great as it is a leaf shape and has a pointy end, so its easy to follow the contours of your lip, and also great for getting to the corners nice and neatly. The applicator also doesn’t pick up an excessive amount of product which I liked.

Once on, the lipstick does have a slight tacky finish to it, but not super sticky, and not so tacky you think the product is coming off. I preferred this finish to some matte lipsticks that I’d tried, which have a completely dry finish. The matte finish of the Matte Ink wasn’t drying on my lips either, which is a big plus as I hate adding lip balms to lippy and smudging the finish.

This lipstick has staying power, and I only applied first thing in the morning and didn’t go back for any touch ups. It passed the kiss test with my little guy at school drop off – no transfer of lippy to his cheek! Barely noticed any transfer to coffee cups either. It does fade out ever so slightly through the day, but it fades evenly, and the majority of colour is still there at the end of the day. I didn’t have to worry about bare patches of lip with the wearing off with this product, it stayed on my lips very evenly the whole day.

Removal was easy – I popped on some coconut oil on the lips, then just water on my makeup remover towel and it was gone. No staining at all afterwards.

I’m off to pick another colour for my collection. This product is a definite keeper!

I absolutely love this lippy. I got the colour Lover to review and the colour was spot on to what I normally wear. The product is true to what it says. I put it on before work and is still on when im about to go to bed. Highly recommend.

My 'Pioneer' drenched lips defended themselves very well against cheesecake, copious coffee, and salty fries. The ink formula, with its nifty arrow applicator, is like a dye for your lips but entirely non-drying. It felt very light for a highly-pigmented product. 'Pioneer' is a bold pinkish-red. What set this apart from other red lippies is its definition, it is a loyal comrade and won't pass enemy lines (ie. messy bleeding outside lip line). The ink allows a more controlled application, unlike more creamy/thick lipsticks. Once it is set, you can trust it to stay in line (no awkward mid-street touch-ups necessary). Like the punk ethos of safety pins and d.i.y patches, using this is like colouring-in with a felt tip in detention. Very sleek packaging. It looks very high-end with its simple rectangular tube and contrasting white cap. The colours are easy to determine, in a line-up, as they saturate two-thirds of the exterior tube. I love the crimson colour as wearing it makes me feel strong, confident, and sexy. Red lipstick symbolises uncompromising femininity and sisterhood. The suffragettes wore red lipstick to marches, women in World War Two craved it, and this has carried on into feminist protest lately too. To have a lipstick, like Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink, which will not budge, only adds to this spirit of resilience and visability. The name of this shade, 'Pioneer" is particularly fitting to this spirit- long may it reign!
