Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Application
Applying your Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Lip Color correctly is key to its performance:
- Cleanse: Start with clean, dry lips. Any residual oils or moisture can hinder the color's adherence and longevity.
- Apply Base Coat: Apply the intense liquid color from one end. Use smooth, even strokes.
- Wait to Dry: Allow the color to dry fully for at least 2 minutes. Do not rub lips together during this time.
- Condition: Once dry, apply the moisturizing balm from the other end. This step can be repeated throughout the day for added comfort.
Compatibility
This lip color is designed to be a standalone product. While you can apply the balm from the other end over the color, avoid applying other balms or glosses *before* the color, as this may affect its longevity and transfer-proof properties.
Care and Storage
- Storage: Store the product upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain formula integrity.
- Hygiene: Keep the applicator clean and avoid sharing the product to prevent bacterial contamination.
- Removal: To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated long-wear lipstick remover. Gently massage the product onto your lips, then wipe away with a cotton pad. This helps break down the long-wear formula without excessive scrubbing.
