Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in 50 Voyager

Here it is the new addition in my liquid lipstick collection. It is also the newest addition in the Maybelline range of liquid lipsticks, at least in Slovenia. This is what is says on their website:

Ink with Attitude. Maybelline introduces SuperStay Matte Ink, an intense ink colour concentration, ultra-chic matte finish and flawless, 12 hour wear. With a precise arrow applicator for a smooth matte, second-skin effect in just one stroke. Statement, inked lips that last.

I have the deep red shade with the name Voyager. On my lips is quite dark, I would prefer it to be just a little lighter. Because it' so dark you must be careful with the application, but it's true that the arrow applicator helps with the application. I struggle a little, but it's manageable and if you have a steady hand it can be also precise. 

When on the lips it became completely matte in a couple of minutes and the feel on the lips is not the most comfortable, you can feel the lipstick on the lips, it's like you have a filter over your lips, but at least it's not like you have glue on your lips. 

Now, the wear is really long-lasting, I had this liquid lipstick for New Year’s Eve and it lasted well. At the end of the night (with all the eating, drinking, partying) it looked decent. You could see that it was not perfect, but without any touch ups it looked well enough.

The removal on the other hand is a complete nightmare, if you don't have an oil based remover. The micellar water is not enough. It removes the lipstick from the lips, but then you look like a clown, red all over the mouth, so oil based remover is recommended and all the way a better choice.

To conclude I would say that is one of the best lasting liquid lipsticks in my collection, so it was a good choice to have it on New Year’s Eve. 

Have a great day!
