Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink Lipstick - 30 Unrivaled

While individual wear time can vary, this lipstick is designed for lasting color and can stay vibrant for many hours, often through meals and drinks, especially if applied correctly.

The vinyl ink formula is designed to be highly transfer-resistant once it has fully dried and set. However, like most long-wear lip products, heavy friction or oily foods may cause some minimal transfer.

For effective removal, use an oil-based makeup remover or a micellar water specifically formulated for waterproof makeup. Apply it to a cotton pad, press gently onto your lips for a few seconds, then wipe away.
