Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Matte Lipstick - 65 Seductress (Nude)

This is a great lipstick. It’s the first one I’ve found that actually stays on all day although it drys my lips out a bit but still nice

I love these, have four shades now. Ruler is a beautiful vintage shade of red with more of a deep purple red tone than orange. Revolutionary comes out on me as a quite bright deep pink. Initiator is a deep dark pink. As I wanted a more everyday shade I tried seductress, but on me it came out very light, almost like the concealer lip look which I am not a fan on on me BUT you can mix the colours on your lip before it dries and seductress with a light dab of initiator over the top is the perfect ‘natural but better’ lip shade and one I will wear everyday for work! My only complaint is that the colour on the outside doesn’t reflect the actual shade inside so it’s been a bit of trial and error finding the best shades but the price point means I don’t really mind a few misses and will actual use all of them at some point. The best thing is the staying power! It is very easy to apply and sets quickly. Once dry it does not budge, you can literally rub your lips and there is no smudging etc. For the first hour it will leave a tiny amount of residue on a cup but this never shows on your lips. There is a slight stickiness but if you wait until it dries the lick your lips and let them dry I find that stops the stickiness. Yesterday I wore Ruler (my fav) all day for a Christmas outing, shopping, eating, drinking etc and after a full day and evening my lipstick was still perfect and I can’t say that for the rest of my makeup lol To remove, I use body shop camomile cleansing butter and a small dab removes it perfectly. The product doesn’t really dry your lips but it’s worth keeping them moisturised as it looks best on smooth lips.

Nice colour

I tested a fast number of super stay lipsticks for my wedding, and even though some of these cost as much as £40, this was the winner. I used it on dry lips, with a lip liner and I only applied a very small quantity (if it’s too thick it won’t work) and allowed it to dry for about two minutes. I chose to apply a balm over the top as I prefer a glossy finish to a Matt one and almost instantly my lipstick stayed in place. I have now chosen it in several other colours and use it as I go to lipstick. In fact when I went to the dentist this week, they asked if I wanted to wipe my lipstick off so it wouldn’t smudge all over my face and I assured them, that my lipstick wasn’t going anywhere. I used it for 12 hours on my wedding day and I frequently use it when I am on stage. It doesn’t come off from microphones and nor does it come off on my husband when I kiss him. It’s definitely one of the best lipsticks on the market and at this price Pt it’s an absolute bargain too.

The best lipstick every, stay on whole day, brilliant, will try different colour now

I love the colour of this superstar matte ink, it goes on smoothly, a bit thick but it can be blotted off, I find that the colour stays on the outer lip just fine but not on the inner lip, maybe due to licking the lips, but it’s impossible not to lick your lips at some time throughout the day. I did find that by the end of the day my lips were very dry and sore, I had to slather my lips with salve. Haven’t worn it since, not sure whether to give it another go or not. NB. Why does there have to be an ugly, huge product label stuck onto the case of the product, it makes it look like a cheap no brand lipstick and unsightly when taking it out of a handbag for a touch-up. Please don’t do it!!!

Best long lasting lip gloss ever,

This is my go-to daily lipstick. It lasts so well unless you eat greasy food or apply a lip balm containing oil. Application can be tricky just because it's so pigmented for the darker/brighter colours, if you make any mistakes you need make up remover to fix it. And always check your teeth! This stuff stays out once it's set so it's easy to end up with a lipstick mark on your teeth all day if you don't spot it early. Your lips do also need to be in reasonable condition, you can't put this on dry lips or it will just look crusty. I find it comfortable to wear but if you're used to moisturising cream lipsticks it might take some getting used to. It comes off easy at the end of the day with a good makeup remover or any kind of oil and doesn't stain lips. I wear it daily and a tube lasts me about a month so I consider it great value. It also doesn't have a scent or irritate my skin. I find the reds do dry to a slighter bluer hue than when they're wet but I don't mind that. They dry to a matt appearance which is exactly what I prefer. Some lip balms can be patted on after it's dried for a more sheeny look but that might affect the staying power depending on the formula.
