Maybelline Super Stay 24 HR Colour Lipstick Review

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.

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

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 got the colour #95 Never Ending Pearl, I really don't understand why Maybelline call it a lip color it is very much a coloured lip gloss at one end and the other being a lip balm. It has the normal lip gloss feeling when applying it to your lips, it was very easy to apply as it has a colts-foot applicator and then a slide out type lip balm on the other end.I didn't notice much of a smell from it. I needed a decent amount to cover my lips, i first used it on its own, it is a very sheer kind of nude colour with a bit of a sparkle, i didn't mind the colour but what i hated about it was that it separated on my lips. I have no idea why, it was not expired or anything like that and i tried it another 3 or 4 times after that and it just kept doing it! so the next time i used it over a lipstick and again did the same thing. It was not worth the money i paid and i am still quite disappointed in this lip product! I would not recommend to a friend.

I tried this few years ago before better long lasting lipsticks came out. There were few different shades and I chose a red one. So one side was the shade and the other side was the top coat to make it long lasting.

The colour glided on nicely, but it was wasn't very moisturising. Then I applied the top coat, that didn't dry very well and my lips get sticking together. It was the worst feeling and I never tried it again after that. I recall throwing it out.

There are so many better lipsticks out there now, I definitely won't be using this again.

I really thought this product would last long on my lips but I have tried other products that were better than this one. The colour looked amazing when I put it on but it did not last long at all and made my lips feel yuck. Would not spend that amount of money on this product again.

didnt really enjoy this product.would make my lips peel and so dry the next day.i usually would wear this going out for a night but when it starts to wear off and crumble it makes ur lips look so ugly. doesnt last as long as it says it should. maybe 3 hours max

The colour glides on nicely and stays put for a while until it peels and flakes and just looks awful!
