Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink Lipstick - 55 Royal

The Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink Lipstick is designed for long-lasting wear, often staying vibrant for many hours, even through meals and drinks, when applied correctly and allowed to set fully.

While some long-wear liquid lipsticks can feel drying, the 'vinyl ink' formula aims for a more comfortable wear. Prepping your lips with a light, non-occlusive balm before application can help, just ensure your lips are dry before applying the lipstick.

Once fully set and dry (after 30-60 seconds), the SuperStay Vinyl Ink Lipstick is formulated to be highly transfer-resistant. Avoiding pressing your lips together during the drying process is key for best results.

Always shake the tube for 5 seconds before opening. Apply to clean, dry lips using the precise applicator. Crucially, allow the lipstick to dry completely for about 30-60 seconds without pressing your lips together to activate its long-wear and shine properties.

The 'Vinyl Ink' refers to a high-shine, glossy finish that mimics the look of vinyl, providing a bold, vibrant, and reflective appearance on the lips.

Ensure you shake the tube thoroughly for at least 5 seconds before each use. Apply to clean, dry lips. Avoid applying multiple thick layers; one even layer is usually sufficient for full coverage.

Make sure you've allowed adequate time for the product to fully set (30-60 seconds) without pressing your lips together. Applying too much product can also cause tackiness; try a thinner, more even layer.

This can happen if your lips are dry or if too much product was applied. Gently exfoliate and moisturize your lips before application, ensuring they are completely dry before applying the lipstick. Avoid excessive layering.

Use an oil-based makeup remover, cleansing balm, or micellar water specifically designed for long-wear or waterproof makeup. Apply to a cotton pad, press onto lips for 10-20 seconds to allow the remover to break down the formula, then gently wipe away. Avoid harsh rubbing to prevent irritation.
