I Just Found My New Favorite Lipstick, and It’s Only $13

Although I still consider myself a beginner as far as makeup goes, it's safe to say I've mastered my lip combo. Usually, I go for a brown lip liner with a clear or neutral lip gloss, but with the holiday season having just passed, I've developed an uncharacteristic love for red lipstick. Something about the color just spruces up my makeup in this unexplainable, effortless way. For as long as I can remember, I didn't think I could rock it consistently. Now, however, that's all changed thanks to the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint ($13).

Although a red lip isn't my usual lip choice for the office or quick errands, it's ideal if I'm in the mood to add some extra oomph to my beauty routine. Fortunately, Maybelline offers a perfect, weightless option with long-lasting staying power, whether you're also interested in trying a red or prefer one of the other 10 shades.

For my full review of the Maybelline Teddy Matte Lip Tint, keep reading. Find out why it's the perfect transfer-proof lipstick to add to your beauty arsenal ahead.

About the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint

What I Like About the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint

While there's an overwhelming amount of lipsticks on the market, Maybelline managed to create a product that's worth purchasing with its distinct, plush feel. The lip tint has an incredibly smooth texture that provides a seamless glide on the lips without feeling sticky. Unlike other lipsticks I've used, the formula stayed on my lips for hours, even through drinking and eating. I didn't have to reapply because the color is so long-lasting. I also love that the hue I tried, Coquettish, delivered a gorgeous shade of red that's not too much for everyday wear, directly catering to my newfound obsession.

How to Use the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint

The Teddy Matte Lip Tint comes with an easy-to-use doe-foot applicator. Within the pillow-shaped tube is a substantial amount of pigment that you can apply to your lips as desired. While the packaging may look small, a little goes a long way, depending on the look you're going for. If you're aiming for subtle color, you can go in with as little as one swipe. Meanwhile, a bolder look requires multiple swipes.

Before diving in with any lipstick, I like to use a brown lip liner first. This method not only helps me during product application (lipstick can get messy), but it also creates this subtle, yet beautiful combination between a bold and diffused finish. Then, I go in with three swipes of the lip tint to get a vivid look.

What to Consider Before Trying the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint

One thing to note is that this is a matte lip product. If you're on the hunt for something more hydrating, I recommend pairing the tint with a gloss, like the brand's Lip Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid ($9) to maintain moisture throughout wear. Also, the tint's lasting power is quite strong, so be sure to use a high-quality makeup remover, such as a micellar water or cleansing balm, to remove it.

Where Is the Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Matte Lip Tint Available?

You can purchase the Maybelline Teddy Matte Lip Tint from the brand's website, Ulta Beauty, Amazon, Walmart, and Target.
