Most longwear liquid lipsticks either smudge by midday or feel dry and tight within an hour. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is engineered to do both: deliver up to 16 hours of wear with a matte ink finish that stays put yet remains surprisingly comfortable.

A blend of dimethicone and trimethylsiloxysilicate forms a flexible, transfer-resistant film that anchors pigment to the lips. Isododecane gives the formula its lightweight slip for smooth, even application, while nylon and crosspolymer technology help the colour set to an even, non-patchy finish. Conditioning agents support a more comfortable feel throughout wear.

The texture applies as a fluid ink, then sets to a modern matte that feels lightweight rather than sticky. Once set, it resists smudging, transferring and feathering to help maintain crisp edges for hours. Colour stays vivid and even, reducing the need for touch-ups through busy days or evenings.

Apply a thin, even layer and allow it to fully set before pressing lips together or adding more. Focusing product in the centre and refining the edges with the applicator tip helps achieve a sharp, defined result. For longer wear, keep lips dry and free from heavy balms before application.

High pigment concentration delivers opaque coverage in one stroke.Longwear ink technology helps lock in colour for up to 16 hours.Film-forming silicones create a transfer-resistant, smudge-resistant veil.Lightweight esters and dimethicone keep the formula flexible and less prone to cracking.

For added definition and extended wear, pair with a complementary Maybelline lip liner to contour and shape before applying the liquid lipstick. Layer a light touch of compatible balm on top later in the day if you prefer a slightly softer feel without restarting your lip look.

A high-impact, longwear matte liquid lipstick that combines serious staying power with a comfortable, transfer-resistant finish.

• Step 1. Ensure lips are clean, smooth and dry; if using balm, blot away any excess beforehand.
• Step 2. Use the tip of the applicator to outline the natural lip shape, defining the cupid’s bow and corners.
• Step 3. Glide the flat side of the applicator across the lips to fill in with a thin, even layer of colour.
• Step 4. Allow the formula to set completely for several seconds without pressing the lips together.
• Step 5. For more intensity, apply a second light layer once the first has fully set.
• Step 6. To remove, use an oil-based make-up remover or cleansing oil and gently wipe away.

Pro Tips

• Lightly exfoliate lips beforehand to help the matte finish look smoother and more even.
• Apply in thin layers rather than one thick coat to maximise comfort and longevity.
• Avoid oily foods directly on the lips, as oils can begin to break down longwear formulas.
• For a softer, diffused effect, apply a small amount to the centre of lips and quickly tap out with a fingertip before it sets.
