Terrible
Does not stay on but liked 30 min
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 5 days ago
Hi there! We are so glad you loved the gorgeous "Own Your Empire" shade for those first 30 minutes, but we are so sorry to hear it didn't stay put! Our SuperStay Ink Crayons are designed to deliver up to 8 hours of comfortable, matte wear. To help lock in your color for the long haul, we recommend trying these quick tricks: Prep your lips: Make sure your lips are clean and completely free of any heavy lip balms or oils before applying, as these can slip and slide the pigment away. The blot & layer: Apply a thin layer of the crayon, gently blot your lips with a tissue, and then apply a second light layer. This builds up a highly resilient base that lasts much longer! Use the sharpener: Keep the tip sharp using the built-in sharpener at the base of the crayon—a precise tip helps you apply the perfect, thin layer that bonds beautifully to the lips. We hope these tips help you rock your "Own Your Empire" look all day long!

Hello Shilpi! Thank you so much for reaching out about our Superstay Ink Crayon Lipstick, and learning that this matte lip formula did not meet your quality expectations is very important to us. This crayon is specifically designed to provide up to eight hours of vibrant, comfortable color with an ultra-precise tip, which can easily be maintained by using the convenient built-in sharpener located at the very base of the pen. To ensure the smooth, creamy texture glides onto your lips effortlessly without any skipping or unevenness, we highly recommend prepping your lips with a light exfoliation and applying a thin layer of moisturizing lip balm before sketching in your color. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable feedback.

long wear Super stay lipstick
The actual product is great, long wear and moist on lips but color is not pink at all.

Hello! We are thrilled to hear that you love the formula of our Super Stay Ink Crayon—it’s great to know you found it long-wearing and comfortable on your lips! However, we are sorry to hear that the shade Chase Dreams didn't meet your expectations for a pink tone. Finding the perfect shade can be a challenge as colors can appear differently depending on natural lip pigment and lighting. We have shared your feedback regarding the color description with our Product Development team to help us ensure our shade names and digital swatches are as accurate as possible. Thank you for your honest feedback, and we hope you find your perfect pink match in our collection soon!

Good product, poor descriptions
I enjoy the product. It doesn't last 8 hours but it IS very long lasting. HOWEVER, the names give NO clue as to color. I am red/green color deficient and struggle to properly identify makeup shades. I usually rely on product names (berry vs peach) to find colors that would look good on me in cool tones. Otherwise I look to the manufacturer website descriptions of the shade for help. There is NOTHING to help in that regard on maybellines site. I cant afford to keep buying colors that DONT work.

Lead the Way
Why have you changed the colour of Lead The Way (# 15). It was the most amazing colour and now its a much paler version. Is there an alternative close to how it used to be ? Cant believe its changed, I've read loads of reviews on other sites where people are saying the same thing

Formula change: delicious to rancid
I've been using this product for years. Stays on great, smells amazing. Just bought two new ones and it's obvious the formula has changed. The smell actually made me gag. Will be returning. Super sad!

Website pictures are asinine and unhelpful
So many pictures of this product are not useful. You have two pictures of all the color swatches that are supposedly available, and NONE of the colors are labeled. Then you have pictures of "influencers" that aren't even wearing the relevant color and also don't say what color they are wearing. Absolutely idiotic. The pictures amount to a stupid commercial instead of a useful guide.

Not built to last
They discontinued my fav matte ink color (globetrotter) so I tried a similar shade in the lip crayon (Rise to the top). I applied, ate breakfast 30 mins later, checked the results and unfortunately the only thing that lasted was the lip outline. Definitely save your money and don’t buy this. It doesn’t last 8 hours. Not even close.

The color is very deceiving when seeing it online. Best to go into the store. Even then the color tabs provided are not 100% accurate.

Love it
This is my favorite lipstick, and I use many of the shades. I only need to reapply a few times throughout the day.
