For best long-wear results and to maintain its intended matte finish, it's generally recommended to wear SuperStay Matte Ink on its own. Layering with glosses or other lip products may compromise its matte finish and significantly reduce its longevity and transfer-resistance.

Ensure you've applied a thin, even layer. Wait a full 2-3 minutes for the product to completely dry and set without pressing your lips together. Applying too much product can sometimes cause stickiness.

Start with clean, dry, and exfoliated lips. Use the precise applicator to outline lips first, then fill in. For extra crisp lines, consider using a lip liner underneath. Avoid applying over very oily or wet lip products.
