    Hello suzz! We hear you, and we completely understand how disappointing it is when a favorite shade like 270 is no longer available. While we love bringing you fresh, on-trend colors, we know how personal lip shades are and we never want to leave you without your go-to look. As a tip, you can often find very close matches within our current lineup by looking at the undertone—if you loved the warm, cozy vibes of Cocoa Connoisseur (270), we recommend looking for our deep, warm browns and terracottas to get that same stunning effect. We are absolutely sharing your love for 270 and your desire to see it return with our team.

    Hello Kay3131! We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment and frustration over the discontinuation of your favorite Super Stay Matte Ink shade, #95 Visionary. We know how heartbreaking it is to lose a staple color in your beauty routine, and your passion for this unique shade means the world to us. Your feedback is incredibly important, and we are sharing your request directly with our development team as they plan future shade lineups. A helpful tip for finding a close alternative is to utilize our website's virtual try-on tool, or you can even try custom-blending a small amount of a deep plum shade with a cool-toned nude from our current range to recreate that perfect, long-lasting hue you love so much.

    Hello Gweness! We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating it is when your absolute favorite, go-to lip shades are retired, and we are so sorry to cause you any sadness with these changes. While we regularly refresh our shade lineups to make room for new, exciting colors, we know how deeply our beauty community depends on their signature tones. We can confirm that shade 40 (Believer) has been officially discontinued, but there is still a bit of hope for shade 50 (Voyager), which is in a limited availability phase and can still occasionally be found in stock at select drugstores, supermarkets. To help you find a close match within our current lineup, a wonderful tip is to check out shade 15 (Escapist) as a gorgeous, deep plum alternative to Believer, or shade 112 (Composer) for that rich, beautiful brick-red warmth you loved in Voyager. We are sharing your disappointment directly with our product development team, as hearing which shades are deeply missed is incredibly important to us when planning future collections.

    Hello Elly07! We are so incredibly sorry to hear that you feel your trust has been broken, especially since shade 112 Composer has been your favorite. While we have not made any changes to this beloved, long-wearing formula, batch variations or changes in lighting can sometimes make pigments appear slightly different, and deep red shades like Composer can sometimes pull more of their purple and plum undertones depending on how the formula settles or the natural color of your lips. We hear your feedback loud and clear about wanting that beautiful, classic red tone back, and we will certainly share your thoughts with our product development team. To help bring out the warmest red tones in your current tube, we suggest applying a very thin, paper-thin layer on completely dry lips, allowing it to dry fully for three minutes without pressing your lips together to let the true red pigment set.

    Maybelline Ruined a Great Product

    2 months ago
    Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink used to be the best liquid lipstick available. I absolutely loved #460 Optimist. However, they changed the formula and now this lipstick is a chalky, clumpy mess that does not spread or adhere to the lips. (Note: I washed my lips prior to application and used a good primer that works well with my skin. So this is not a skin issue.) I also do not believe this is simply a case of receiving one bad item. I purchased two different colors and both have the same consistency and performance. In my experience bad items do not transition between colors as each color is it's own production lot(s).

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Missing the discontinued reds

    I've been a Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick customer since they first came out. They outlast the most expensive brands! Trust me, I've tried them all since I've been a cosmetics junky forever. I am disappointed that many colors have been discontinued! Especially in the red family. There was a "red orange" i loved to wear in the summer. I found something similar in a competitor's brand, however, does not have the staying power. I wish you would bring the colors back!

    Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. We are so sorry to hear that the shade turned out much stronger than you expected from the packaging and that layering it with other lipsticks caused it to wear off unevenly. Because this high-pigment formula is designed to deliver intense, transfer-proof color for up to 16 hours, applying other products on top can break down its long-lasting properties. We have shared your comments regarding the shade representation with our team, and we invite you to explore our other shades in the collection to discover a match that gives you the perfect look on its own.

    This is the best lipstick ever and the only brand I buy. Thrill Seeker is THE black lipstick for finishing a goth look as it will hold up dancing in the club, sipping on cocktails, or headbanging at a metal show. Before maybelline made this in black I used to use the dark purple shade escapist since it was the darkest shade and buy more expensive brands for a true black but they are all disappointing compared to this. I tell every goth baddie I meet to make the switch!

    I have been wearing the Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipstick for over 12 years. Initially, it would stay on without smudges after eating and drinking. Lately, since the "new look" I have noticed that if I eat or drink it is starting to wear off. Its almost like wearing regular lipstick. The reason I kept buying this product is that it never smudged. or wore off your lips, always looked great. Not sure if I will keeping buying this product.

    Beautiful color and definitely long wear. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to take off - I had to use Vaseline to help remove it. The worse part, I had an allergic reaction to the lipstick and was prescribed an ointment for 7 day use, twice a day. Over two weeks, my lips were swollen, burning, excessively dry, and now I have dark spots.

    We are so glad to hear you’re a fan of #30 Romantic! However, we’re sorry the red shade didn’t live up to the same standard. Since our formulas should be consistent across shades, it sounds like that specific tube might not have been up to our quality standards, especially if it felt watery.

    I love that I never need to reapply lipstick with the matte ink. I am fair. When lipstick wears off , my face looks paler. With the Matte ink Iipstick. I have color all day long.

    Need better formula, beautiful red.

    7 months ago
    I have this lipstick in #20 Pioneer. I bought it at Dollar General at the end of 2024. Hopefully the formula has been updated or tweaked. This is a beautiful deep red. It does not feather and it does stay on very well. It lasts for hours. Now, when I eat anything saucy or greasy, it will wipe off on the napkin, it does not come off while sipping drinks or transfer when I kiss my BF. My complaint- it dries my lips right out, it begins to kind of peel off the center of my lips and build up around the edges of my lips, to the point of having to wash it off agressively and re apply. This is a big downer. I have finally tossed it out. I wish it didn't do that.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Color wasn’t what was expected…? (Mislabeled?)

    7 months ago
    So I bought the super stay matte liquid lipstick from a beauty retailer, I brought home the shade ruler. At least, I think I did… in the swatch picture on the maybelline website, it looks like the perfect pinky nude shade, but the one I brought home was a really deep, dark wine red… was it perhaps mislabeled? The packaging doesn’t match the picture either, mine is more dark and warm. I think I might have gotten the shade charmer instead labeled as ruler. Review: Wear test was pretty good, it is quite sticky feeling however, and I saw some peeling and bare spots on the inside of my lips whenever I ate or drank. Dried down pretty quickly, within five minutes, color is super pigmented! With it being matte, it does bring out the lobes in your lips, but I personally don’t mind it. Overall, this is an awesome and affordable liquid lipstick to use everyday or on special occasions.

    What a total shade mystery! There is nothing more confusing than expecting a "perfect pinky nude" like Ruler and ending up with a "deep wine red"—it definitely sounds like you might have a case of a New York "shade swap" or a mislabeled tube, especially if the packaging doesn't match the site! While the mystery color sounds stunning, we want you to get exactly what you’re looking for. It’s awesome that you loved that intense pigment and the quick five-minute dry down, but we hear you on that sticky feel and the "inner lip" peeling—when you’re out on the town, you need a formula that can handle a snack without leaving bare spots!

    Good, but scent of it it is a deal breaker

    7 months ago
    It does stay on and is a good product, but it doesn’t smell good. Because of this, I probably won’t end up using it and definitely won’t buy again. Why does there have to be fragrance in lip color?

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Q: 40 was so good for me. What is the closest shade you offer

    Anonymous19 days ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi there! Assuming you are referring to the beloved shade 40 Believer (a gorgeous, rich deep berry/plum) in our Super Stay Matte Ink line, we completely understand wanting that exact vibrant, long-lasting look! If you're looking for the closest alternative in our current lineup, check out 45 Escapist for a similarly bold, dark, and dramatic berry vibe, or 112 Composer for a deep plum-brown hue.

    Q: What is a shade close to believer 40? The pictures look close but the color is not. Bring back believer 40!

    a month ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi there! We hear you loud and clear—we know how devastating it is when an absolute favorite shade like Believer (40) is retired, and we have shared your plea to bring it back directly with our Product and Marketing teams! Since Believer is a gorgeous, deep cool-toned plum/berry shade, here are our closest recommendations to help you get that same beautiful look: Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Voyager (50): This is the closest shade in our current Matte Ink line. Please note that Voyager is slightly more of a deep reddish-burgundy/wine tone compared to the purplish-plum of Believer, but it delivers that same rich, dramatic depth and long-lasting matte formula. Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink in Unrivaled (30): If you are open to a glossy, high-shine finish that is still completely transfer-proof, Unrivaled is a stunning, cool-toned deep plum/berry shade that captures the exact color energy of Believer. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes in Divine Wine (695): If you prefer a classic bullet lipstick, this is a beautiful, rich wine shade with gorgeous depth. We hope one of these helps fill the void of Believer while we share your feedback!

    Q: What is a similar shade to Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick, Birthday Edition, Guest of Honor, 0.17 fl. oz.

    2 months ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hello there! Since the beautiful Guest of Honor shade was a limited-edition favorite, we recommend trying our Super Stay Matte Ink in the shade 340 Exhilarator. This gorgeous, rich crimson red offers the same intense, highly pigmented color payoff and classic blue-toned undertones that made Guest of Honor so stunning and universally flattering. To get that signature, transfer-proof finish, we suggest applying a very thin layer to clean, dry lips and letting it set for a full three minutes without pressing your lips together to ensure a flawless, long-lasting wear.

    Q: Can I apply a gloss over Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in the shade Voyager once it dries?

    1 Answer
    • A: Hello! That is a great question. While our Super Stay Matte Ink is designed to deliver a long-lasting, transfer-proof matte finish for up to 16 hours, you can absolutely apply a gloss over it once it has completely dried! Please keep in mind that adding a gloss or balm on top may affect the "no-transfer" properties of the matte formula. We hope this helps! XO

    Q: If I work Mabelline Superstay 24 #120 Always Heather, what color would be a close match with Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink?

    5 months ago

    • A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. That is a fantastic question! Since you are a fan of the beautiful mauve-plum tones in SuperStay 24 #120 Always Heather, we have two great recommendations for you in the Super Stay Matte Ink family: Shade #15 Lover: This is a very popular, classic dusty mauve that captures that same sophisticated, wearable pinky-plum vibe. Shade #180 Revolutionary: If you prefer the slightly deeper, "heathered" plum side of your current shade, this is a gorgeous match. Both will give you that iconic 16-hour saturated matte finish you expect from Super Stay. We hope you find your new favorite signature lip!

    Q: After about 4-6 hours my lips feel a little dry is there a balm that I apply on top. I tried a simple balm and the lip color smeared.

    6 months ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hello! Thank you for your feedback on our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. Since this is a high-pigment matte formula designed for long-wear, applying a simple balm or gloss on top can break down the color-locking properties and cause smearing. While you can certainly experiment with adding a light layer of gloss or balm for comfort, please keep in mind that it may affect the overall wear and staying power of the lipstick. For a more naturally comfortable feel, we also invite you to explore our more hydrating lip options like our Lifter Gloss or Super Stay Vinyl Ink for a high-shine, long-lasting look! XO

    • A: Hello! Thank you for your interest in our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. We're so glad to hear you're loving the long-lasting power of our formula! To find a shade that sits perfectly between the peachy tones of Vinyl Ink Peachy and the brightness of 175 Ringleader, we suggest exploring shade 10 Dreamer or 180 Revolutionary for a softer, more muted pink result. Since everyone's perfect pout is unique, we also invite you to use the Virtual Try-On tool on our website to see exactly how these shades look on you in real-time.
