Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick
A budget matte liquid lipstick that lasts through meals, at the cost of a tacky, heavy feel.
We bought Coosa Non-stick Cup Metal Lipstick / Waterproof Sparkling Lip Gloss Set (6 PCS). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. The Coosa set is a budget long wear matte liquid lipstick sold under the SuperStay name, and Maybelline's original is the well documented version of the same kind of product.
The short version
- Anyone who wants lip color that lasts through a work day or event
- People who eat and drink without wanting to reapply
- Buyers who want a drugstore price and a big shade choice
- You dislike a tacky or tight feeling on your lips
- You want a glossy or creamy finish
- You want several shades in one pack, since it is sold by the tube
What owners like
- Color holds through eating and drinking with little wear
- Strong pigment that covers in one pass
- Very little transfer to cups and straws once set
Common complaints
- Tacky, heavy feel until it fully sets
- Can feel tight after a few hours
- Applicator opening and cap can let product spill out
- Hard to remove without an oil based remover

What it does
A long wear matte liquid lipstick sold one shade per tube; reviewed here in place of the Coosa 6 piece liquid lipstick set, which could not be researched.
- Maker claims up to 16 hours of wear without fading, flaking, smudging or transferring
- Sold as water resistant and food resistant
- Applicator tip for outlining, flat edge for filling in
- One coat gives opaque color, according to reviewers
- 30 shades on the maker's page, including mauve neutrals such as Lover
A good pick for anyone who wants a budget matte lip color that stays put through meals and drinks. The trade-off is comfort: reviewers describe a tacky, heavy feel while it sets, and it takes an oil based remover to get off.
