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

19 days 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.

We want you to enjoy a flawless, comfortable pout with every single swipe, and we invite you to explore our other long-wear lip collections, like our Super Stay Ink Crayon, for a beautifully comfortable finish.

Missing the discontinued reds

21 days ago
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!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Hello, your super stay matte ink is great, exept now coulors desappeared, and not only this, the Nr.25 Heroine seems to have changed from a beautiful reddish dark orange to some pinkish thing. i bought it believing in the number and name and could not give it back. Where did this former orange colour disappear? thanks for your hint, i really loved it and would like going on using it ... (and i didn't find the topic "colour in the review topics, sorry)

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

5 days 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.

15 days 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?

2 months ago
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

  • A: Hi there! Thank you for your question! Super Stay Matte Ink is our most pigmented, 16-hour long-wear liquid lipstick, so we want you to have the best experience. For the most comfortable and longest-lasting results, we recommend applying a thin, even layer and letting it dry for two to three minutes before eating, drinking, or pressing your lips together. Once it's set, you're good to go! We hope you enjoy the intense, transfer-proof matte finish of your new favorite lip!

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

3 months ago
1 Answer
  • 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.

5 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

Q: I purchased 175 Ringleader as I was looking for a pinkier shade than the Vinyl peachy. I love that it stays on all day, but it is really bright. Please suggest a shade that would be similar to Superstay vinyl ink peachy just a little more pink.

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • 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. We're confident you'll find your ideal pink with Maybelline! XO

Q: How do I stop this lipstick from being sticky. I applied it and my lips felt sticky all day. I bought the following Seductress Mover

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in the shades Seductress and Mover. To help prevent that sticky feeling, we recommend starting with completely clean, dry lips. After applying a thin, even layer, it is essential to let the lipstick dry completely without pressing your lips together while it sets. This will ensure you get that flawless, non-transfer matte finish that lasts up to 16 hours! We hope these tips help you achieve the perfect pout. XO
