Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink Review

Confession time! I love matte lipsticks mainly because... i’m lazy! I can’t be bothered doing the top up every 5 minutes so me and gloss just don’t talk at all.

Trouble is with many liquid lip paints/sticks you get that ‘bah bah bah’ feeling when you rub your lips together, you know when they’re super dry (a bit like the roof of your mouth the next morning after too much wine!), so I set out to give this baby the ‘bah bah’ test.

I chose the colour “dreamer” which is a lovely nude pinky shade. The product has a sponge applicator which I liked (rather than a brush) and one dip gave good coverage and it went on really easily.

It dries in about 60 seconds and, here’s the crunch... (wait for it), it literally didn’t come off for 8 hours! I am NOT kidding you! No fade from the edge of your lips leaving you with a bath like ring around your mouth. I gymed, it lunched it, and drank coke’d it and it didn’t budge much from the initial application!!

What is this witchery?

And did it pass the ‘bah bah bah’ test? (Actually i’ve got it on as i’m reviewing it). You betcha it did! So it’s a big fat 5 from me!

I was very fortunate to be able to review this lovely product. I love matte lipstick but have always preferred a lipstick to a lipstain or any product that is applied with a brush or sponge. This product has changed my views on this. It is a highly pigmented lip ink that has a silky consistency. It applies beautifully and the colour is really strong. I like the sponge applicator - it makes it easy to apply the product. The lip ink is mildly fragranced. It doesn't taste like much - definitely not off putting. It goes on matte and stays that way. I did find it a little drying on my lips - something that can be a problem with matte lip colours. It works well if I apply a little lip balm over it, just to keep the lips moist. The packaging looks sleek. It is a nice size and the colour on the outside is a very good representation of the actual colour of the lip ink. Love this - will buy again and recommend to friends.

I love this product, not only for the pigment and just the colour in general but it's also matte without being over matted (maybe not the best way to describe it really) should say over dry. Will have to look into getting more colours. Just in love with this product.

So excited to trial this! Im desperate to find a good long wearing lippy that doesn't come off the minute I have my first latte.

This lip ink comes in a nice matte style container that is easy to pop in your handbag. I chose the colour ‘15 Lover’ as I thought it would be a good versatile day to day type colour that I could wear to work, and I was right. This soft pink colour would suit a wide variety of looks/outfits. The wand is a arrow shape with a nice sharp end which is great for getting those nice cupids bows on point, love it! I only had to dip the wand once and that had enough product on it to do my entire lip surface. After application, it is sticky for quite a while which is a little off-putting as I felt I needed a gloss or something to set it. As the day went on, I had my latte, my morning tea, drank water and no lip prints, yay I’m really liking this and can probably over-look the stickiness. I did find that it started to wear later in the day but, it was pretty subtle and not too noticeable so if you were in a meeting you wouldn't feel the need for a quick trip to the ladies to re-apply.

Over all, I really love this product and now want to buy the other colour and at $22.99 that is not too bad but I may wait till it comes on special (so I can buy more he he).

I decided to buy this lip colour after reading these reviews, and I’m so glad I did. I brought 10 dreamer, a lovely pinky nude shade that is just my type of colour. It’s just gorgeous for everyday wear.

My lips can be quite dry and some lip stains just make them worse and look patchy. This lip stain is the best! It glides on smoothly and even. My lips don’t look dry at all and feel moisturized.

The packaging is stylish, it’s the same colour as the lip colour, but a white lid and silver writing. It looks nice for such an affordable lip colour.

This has become my go to lip colour for everyday. I’m so impressed with the formula. The wand makes it easy to apply and it’s just so worth what you pay for this lip colour.

I’ve since brought another, in 15 lover, a deeper pink that’s just a beautiful shade also. Great for when I’m going out and just want a bit more colour.

Such a great product. Five stars from me.

Great lipstick!!!

Smell reminds me of play doh (which I love). It’s a rich creamy texture. The colour is super vivid. Once dry - it ain’t going no where. Can make your lips feel dry. I woke up the next day with it still on!!!

I love this product! I don't like super shiny glossy lips, so if you're the same as me then you'll like this Matte look range. They have a great range of colors to choose from and it lasts like it says it does.

Why spend so much $$ on overly expensive ones when this does the trick for an affordable price?

If your lips do go dry, I usually just dab on lip balm not a lot just a little to keep the matte gloss from cracking on your lips.

These are beautiful shades and easy to apply. They stay on even after eating. I like liquid texture of them. They glide on smoothly.

I was recently gifted one of these in a lovely mauve shade and actively looked for opportunities to wear it, as I’m wearing a mask out in public and they are few. I’m so used to a traditional bullet style cream lipstick I hadn’t realised there were such long wearing formulas out there that are so good! This lipstick will not only last through an afternoon of zooms but also a BBQ, drinks and coffee with very little wear and it’s not drying at all. It takes a bit of getting used to. Firstly start with dry lips, make sure you have the perfect straight line using the wand - it’s easy as it’s shaped into a point. I find I don’t need to add more product than what comes out for an application to fill both my top and bottom lips. You need to then wait patiently for it to dry before you’re good to go. The drying part is the only stage that your lips feel a little claggy and uncomfortable but after that you barely notice you’re wearing it. 8 hours is probably the longest time I wore this and there was some wear around the centre of my mouth which I would have touched up if I was out but I didn’t see any transfer onto glasses or food like you might notice from a normal lippie. You might think removal is hard but my normal Neutrogena oil cleanser just wiped it away without the need for any flannel or cotton wipes. I’m definitely going to be getting this again in a more coffee colour shade next time I’m out and I see Maybelline on special.

I love Matt lipsticks. So this super stay red matte ink is beautiful. It lasts a while if you not eating. It doesn't get onto your teeth which is great! I Have the Poet (60) shade as well
