Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is not for me!

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick boasts a selection of richly saturated shades, each undoubtedly attractive. Yet, while I appreciate the vivid colors, I found myself less enamored after trying two different shades. I’m hesitant to explore the rest of the range. While its longevity is commendable, there are undeniable drawbacks to consider.

1. My usual makeup wipes struggle to remove it. Repeatedly rubbing the lips isn’t ideal as it can lead to darkening and dryness.

Luckily, my cleansing balm effectively removes it. At times, I also resort to my cleansing oil.

2. The formula doesn’t work well when I prime my lips with a balm; doing so prevents the ink from adhering properly, leading to potential flaking or peeling.
3. Because I can’t use lip balm prior to applying this product, my lips often become dry or cracked within a few hours. The result is less than visually appealing.

4. It has a weighty feel on my lips
5. Even when I use just a bit, it takes long to dry and can smudge.

I have these shades now but I’ll toss them later. Sadly, this product didn’t work for me. I’m not trying to be negative or upset. I’m glad I tried it because it led to this review.

Have you tried this? I’d love to hear about your experience.
