FAQs
How long does Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink in 'Show Runner - White' typically last?
This product is designed for long wear, often lasting up to 16 hours without needing touch-ups, even through eating and drinking.
Does this lipstick feel drying on the lips?
No, the Superstay Matte Ink formula is known for its comfortable wear and is specifically designed to be non-drying, keeping your lips feeling good throughout the day.
What kind of makeup remover should I use for this product?
Due to its superstay formula, an oil-based makeup remover or a biphasic eye and lip remover is highly recommended for effective and gentle removal.
Is the 'Show Runner - White' shade suitable for everyday wear?
The 'Show Runner - White' is a very distinct and bold shade. While you can wear it daily if it suits your style, it's generally best for statement looks, creative makeup, or special occasions rather than conventional everyday wear.
Can I apply a lip gloss over this matte lipstick?
It is not recommended to apply a traditional lip gloss over Superstay Matte Ink, as it can break down the long-wear formula and compromise the matte finish. If you want a different look, experiment with a very light touch of a clear gloss after the matte ink has fully dried, but be aware it may affect longevity.
Is this product transfer-proof?
Once fully dry, Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink is highly transfer-resistant. It's formulated to 'stay put for hours,' meaning minimal transfer onto cups, clothes, or skin.
Troubleshooting
Lipstick feels dry or flaky on lips
Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized *before* application. Blot off any excess lip balm before applying the matte ink.
Color appears patchy or uneven
Apply to clean, dry lips. Ensure you've wiped off excess product from the applicator, and apply in thin, even layers. Allow each layer to dry completely if layering.
Difficulty removing the lipstick
Use an oil-based makeup remover (biphasic removers or cleansing oils work best). Apply to a cotton pad, hold it over your lips for 15-30 seconds, then gently wipe away.
Lipstick smudges or transfers
Ensure the product has fully dried and set on your lips without rubbing or pressing lips together during the drying phase. Avoid applying over oily balms or primers.
Color bleeds outside lip line
Use a clear or white lip liner to create a barrier around your lip line before applying the matte ink. Apply the matte ink precisely within the lined area.
Pros and Cons

Exceptional Longevity: Stays vibrant and matte for extended periods.

Comfortable Matte Wear: Avoids the dry, tight feeling often associated with matte liquid lipsticks.
High Pigmentation: Provides opaque color with minimal effort.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Use
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the tube to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Remove Excess: Wipe off any excess product from the applicator on the rim of the tube to prevent over-application and ensure precision.
Application Tips
Start Clean: Always apply to clean, dry lips for optimal adhesion and longevity.
Outline & Fill: Use the pointed tip of the applicator to outline your Cupid's bow and lower lip line. Then, use the flat side to fill in the rest of your lips.
Avoid Rubbing: Once applied, avoid pressing your lips together or rubbing them until the product is fully dry to prevent smudging or uneven application.
Compatibility
Pairing: Best paired with strong eye makeup or minimalist looks to let the unique white lip take center stage. Consider using a clear or white lip liner for extra definition.
Other Products: Avoid applying creamy glosses directly over Superstay Matte Ink, as this can break down its long-wear properties. If you desire a different finish, apply after the matte ink has completely dried and use sparingly.
Product Care & Removal
Storage: Store upright at room temperature to maintain product integrity.
Removal: Due to its superstay nature, an oil-based makeup remover is highly recommended. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto your lips for a few seconds to let it dissolve the product, then wipe away. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
