Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipsticks is Truly Long lasting!

 

The Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipstick has a long-lasting liquid lipstick formula with Micro-Flex technology that stays in your lips even if you eat, drink, or kiss someone. The pigment of this liquid lipsticks is very concentrated and sticky that can be a little intimidating to apply. Good thing that the shape of the cupid's arrow brush makes application easy, manageable and pinpoint. It's very sticky when you apply it but after a few seconds once it sets and dry your lips will feel smooth. You can slide your lips easily, it feels like you're not wearing any lipstick at all.

According to product details it can stay on your lips for up to 16 hours of comfortable wear. I tried it and yes I honestly think it can last 16 hours and I've tested it kiss a white paper and nothing came off. However, you need to make sure that it has already set and dry to be smudge-proof, even if you eat soup or oily food or drink water it won't easily come off. However, if you accidentally stain some on your pretty dress that would be a problem.

Sometimes when it's super dry it can give out small flakes, just apply a small amount of lip balm to moisturize your lips.




Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick  $5.99


Is Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipsticks hard to get off?

If you're worried about removing it just use a makeup remover or baby oil. It's very impressive for its price.

Japanese Igari Style Makeup or the Hangover Look Trend

So, what is Igari Makeup? It's about making the face clean and natural looking, that is very innocent and concervative but with a red flushed face as if you're drinking alcohol which is why it is also called the "hang over" makeup. I guess this look was also inspired by faces of characters in anime when they are drunk or being embarrassed. This makeup is easily blend to any style because it is very simple. I have seen it on a lot of girls that have different fashion styles. All you need to do is apply natural eye makeup, then apply the blush directly under the eye area and sealed it with a pink lips.

Here's how to get Igari Style Makeup

1. Wash your face and dry.
2. Apply light foundation since it's minimalist makeup.
*No second layer needed to avoid cakey look.
3. Buff your makeup
4. Use concealer for spot correction
5. Don't forget about the most important part the blush! Apply dark shade on the outer part of your cheek then a lighter shade of blush to the apples of your cheeks to show an innocent and youthful look.

This look was created by a famous Japanese makeup artist Igari Shinobu.
