Lipstick FAQs

To figure out which lipstick color is best for you, you’ll want to consider your skin tone and undertones. If you have warm undertones such as yellow, golden, or peach, opt for hotter hues like orange, red, coral, and pink lipsticks. For those with cooler undertones, you likely have blue-toned veins, and your skin may have a pinkness to it, so go for blue-based pink, purple, and berry lipsticks. Our Super Stay Vinyl Pink Mix line offers a great selection fuchsia options to choose from. And if you’re looking for a nude lipstick, the trick is to choose a shade that has the same undertone as your skin, but is one or two shades deeper, which will help enhance your complexion rather than wash you out. The lipstick finish that’s best for you will depend on the look that you’re going for. If you prefer a one-dimensional, blurred appearance, you’ll love our Super Stay Teddy Tint, which offers buildable color with a hazy plush effect. For a more creamy texture that feels cushion-y on your lips and leaves you with a subtle shine, a satin or cream finish is the one for you. Find it in our Color Sensational The Creams collection. For a high shine finish that reflects light, look no further than our Super Stay Vinyl Ink. With a comfortable feel and a long-wear vinyl finish, lips stay looking glassy for up to 16 hours. To apply lipstick, it’s best to start by lining the lips with lip liner, which helps keep your lipstick in place and ensures a clean border. After lining your lips– slightly outside your natural lip line, if you want your pout to appear plumper– you can take your lipstick bullet and swipe it between the lines. To remove any excess lipstick and to prevent it from getting on your teeth, smooch your lips around a tissue. And voíla, you’re pout is ready to party!

First, apply liquid lipstick in the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth. Then glide the liquid lipstick across the entire bottom lip. Allow product to dry.

 If you want to prevent lipstick from smudging, it’s smart to start with a lip liner to create clean, crisp borders around your lips– this will help to keep your lipstick from running or settling into fine lines. It’s also important to choose a long-wear lipstick that’s formulated to stay in place like our Super Stay 24, which can last for a whopping 24 hours. To really lock in your lipstick look, a tried-and-true makeup artist hack is to place a tissue over the lips and dust setting powder over the top. The powder works to absorb any oil and acts as a barrier to prevent smudging.

Matte lipstick gives the opposite of a shiny finish. Often more long-wearing than its creamier, glossier counterparts, matte lipstick leaves an opaque pigment on the lips that’s less likely to smudge. Matte lipsticks are a great option for those who want a cushion-y feel without a shiny finish. Our Super Stay Ink Crayon is a great example of bold color that glides on easily, stays in place, and has a velvety or suede effect to it.

 A lip crayon is a hybrid between a lipstick and a lip liner. It's a creamy bullet that has a precise tip for easy lining and swiping. Draw it on for a rich layer of long-lasting matte color with effortless control. Our Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick is formulated to withstand up to eight hours of wear, plus it has a built-in sharpener that helps keep the point sharp for the most defined and budge-proof lip looks. And because it’s creamy, it feels comfortable on the lip and allows for layering to build color intensity, without feeling cakey if you touch up with another layer throughout the day.

Liquid lipstick is a hybrid between a gloss and a bullet, coming in a liquid format like a gloss, often with a shiny finish, but it provides full pigmented color and adheres to the lip like a lipstick bullet. Liquid lipsticks also tend to be more long-wearing than traditional lipstick bullets. Take our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick, for instance. It's formulated to stay on day and night with up to 16 hours of wear.

 How long lipstick lasts depends on the kind of lipstick you're wearing. If you're wearing traditional creamy lipstick, it may stay on anywhere from 3-6 hours, depending on whether you're eating and drinking (which will make it wear off faster.) But our Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick lasts for up to an impressive 8 hours. Another option: liquid lipsticks are designed to be much more long-wearing, like our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. This formula will stay put for up to 16 hours. In terms of how long you should keep a lipstick, it will depend on whether the lipstick has been opened and if it’s being used or not– exposure to air and bacteria will cause it to expire more quickly. So, if you’re actively using a lipstick, it’s wise to toss it after one to two years, while a sealed lipstick can last up to three years, depending on where you store it– a lipstick left in a humid environment, such as a bathroom cabinet, will spoil faster. If you’re not sure how long you’ve had a lipstick, look for signs that it may have gone bad, such as a change in color, texture, or smell. Maybelline lipsticks are affordable and can be found at the drugstore for convenience. While our lipsticks have a budget-friendly price tag, they don’t compromise on efficacy or performance. In fact, they rival many of the prestige offerings and are formulated to provide impressive coverage, longevity, and quality.
