Maybelline Superstay 24hr Lipstick & Balm - Sugar Plum

Based on the description, the 250 Sugar Plum is described as a 'lip gloss' with a micro-flex formula that glides on and stays put, implying it is a single-step product designed for 24-hour wear without a separate topcoat.

Info needed: For optimal removal of long-wear formulas, it is typically recommended to use an oil-based makeup remover, bi-phase micellar water, or a specialized long-wear makeup remover. Apply to a cotton pad and gently press on lips before wiping.

Applying an oily lip balm over this product may compromise its 24-hour wear and transfer-resistant properties. For hydration, it's best to apply a non-oily lip balm *before* applying the lip color, or use it after removal.

250 Sugar Plum is a vibrant and appealing purple-toned shade. It's designed to be a flattering and enhancing color for a variety of complexions.

While the Maybelline Superstay 24H Lip Color is formulated for exceptional longevity and to 'stay put' without clumping, caking, or fading, 'transfer-proof' often depends on individual application and activity. It is designed to resist transfer significantly better than standard lip glosses.

While long-wear formulas can sometimes feel drying to some individuals, the micro-flex formula is designed for comfort. To minimize any potential dryness, ensure your lips are well-hydrated before application, and use a nourishing lip treatment overnight.

Ensure your lips are completely clean and dry before application. Avoid applying over oily balms or consuming very oily foods directly after application, as oils can break down the long-wear formula. Allow adequate drying time.

Info needed: This can sometimes occur during the initial drying phase. Ensure you've applied a thin, even layer and allowed ample time for the product to fully set without pressing your lips together.

Apply the lip color to clean, smooth lips. If your lips are flaky, gently exfoliate them first. Use the applicator to spread the product evenly, ensuring a consistent layer across your entire lip surface.

Prep your lips with a hydrating, non-oily lip primer or a light lip balm before applying the color, allowing it to absorb fully. You can also incorporate a hydrating lip mask into your nightly routine.

Info needed: Use an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase micellar water. Apply to a cotton pad, hold over your lips for a few seconds to let it dissolve the product, then gently wipe away.
