I love these
I love this stuff! It stays all day, layers(re-apply) without issues, and doesn't clump or smear when I apply a chapstick later. The texture is sticky at first, but then feels hardly there. The color stays solid all day. It is a matte finish and doesn't seem to dry out or hydrate lips either way. I don't like make-up, I have never worn anything regularly, but now I wear this daily. The color on my lips makes me look more put together and it stays long after I forget about it. I now own 4 of them.

color 270
i LOVE the old colors. why do you keep discontinuing and changing when everything was fine? can you bring back 270?
1 reply from Maybelline team - 11 days ago
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.

The newer colors are terrible
This color is horrible The Old Pink used to be so much better this is like a neon color and I hate it. I also miss the plum color that you used to have and I don't know why you have to mess with things that are working. I'm so disappointed

Not bright
Had this color for years, the color is not the same not as bright
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 13 days ago
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We are so sorry to hear that your newest tube of SuperStay Matte Ink in Romantic doesn't look as bright as the color you have loved and worn for years. While we have not changed the official pigment blend for Romantic, there are a couple of reasons why a fresh, brand-new bottle might look slightly different than a tube you have owned for years: Freshness vs. Aging: Over the years, liquid lipstick formulas naturally settle, dehydrate, and oxidize inside the tube. This can actually cause older bottles to appear darker, deeper, and more muted. When you open a fresh, brand-new bottle, the pigments are at their original, newly mixed state, which can make it appear brighter or more neon-pink than your aged tube! Settling Pigments: Because this is a highly concentrated liquid ink formula, pigments can occasionally settle over time. We highly recommend giving your tube a vigorous shake or giving the formula a good stir with the applicator wand inside the tube before applying to ensure the pigment is perfectly blended. We want you to absolutely love your signature fuchsia shade!

Overall hands down a great matte lipstick
It’s beyond disappointing and despicable that you discontinued Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in #95 Visionary. The most sought after color in my opinion. No other color in the line compares to this one. Honestly stopped buying the line due to the discontinued color. Bring it back!!
1 reply from Maybelline team - 17 days ago
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.

Obsolete lipsticks
What happened to the shade 40 and 50. Those are my favorites! Now nothing close to those shades. Stop changing up on people colors add but take away. So disapointed.
1 reply from Maybelline team - 28 days ago
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.

Misleading
The color was not at all like the image/description. I ordered ringleader which looks to be more of a pink mauve. What I got was coral. Not even in the same ballpark. Not sure where the online images come from but they don't represent the actual color. Hope I can return.

Changed formula and shade
THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA WHEN THEY SAY THEY DIDNT! ALSO MY FAVORITE SADE 112 COMPOSER USED TO BE A NICE RED NOW THERES A PURPLE SADE? PLEASE GO BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL SHADE. This broke my trust
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 1 month ago
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.

How could they get rid of 430 Mediator?!? No other makeup company had a color like this😩. I haven’t tried the new formula, but from sounds of it…ILL PASS.

Maybelline Ruined a Great Product
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).

Hey! We are so sorry to hear our Super Stay Matte Ink didn't deliver the smooth, high-performing wear you’ve always loved, especially in your favorite shade 460 Optimist. We’ve shared your feedback regarding the texture and formula consistency directly with our team for future review. 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
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!

same name, different 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)
