Superstay Matte Ink Pinks 170 Initiator: Long-lasting Elegance

Okay, so this Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in shade 170 Initiator is honestly a game-changer. You get this super pigmented, bold color that dries down to this gorgeous matte finish – like, actually matte, not that weird patchy stuff some lipsticks do. And here's the kicker: it seriously stays put for up to 16 hours. I'm talking breakfast, coffee runs, lunch meetings, happy hour – you name it. No constant mirror checks or awkward bathroom touch-ups needed.

The applicator is clutch too. It's got this precise arrow tip that makes lining your lips crazy easy, even if you're rushing or doing your makeup in bad lighting. One swipe and you're good to go. The formula feels lightweight, doesn't crack or get all crusty throughout the day, and it won't transfer onto your coffee cup or leave marks everywhere (thank god, right?). Just apply it starting from the center of your top lip, follow your natural lip line, then swipe across your bottom lip. Done and done. If you're into that bold, no-nonsense lip look that actually lasts, this one's worth grabbing.
