Maybelline’s New Peel-off Lip Liner Stains Are Bound To Go Viral

Summer is a tough time for peels, both the skincare and banana versions. Re: The skincare one, it's too beautiful outside to stay in and hide from the sun while your face recovers. As for the banana, all that sunshine browns the fruit a little quickly. (Plus, should you come across one on your morning commute, it's no fun to slip on hot concrete.)

A peel-off lip liner, though? Perfect for the season. It takes a bit of time to use if you're trying to really slow down and not overheat while getting ready. And if it's boiling out and the rest of your makeup slides off, your stained liner will stay perfectly in place. Almost like... you were born with it?

Yes, it's true. Maybelline has officially launched a soon-to-be-viral peel-off lip liner: Super Stay Peel Off Lip Liner. Keep reading to discover everything there is to know about the new release, including our honest review.

The Inspiration

Maybelline is always on top of the trends.

As the brand explained in a press release, they've been seeing beauty girlies "embracing innovative, multi-functional products that make routines easier and longer lasting." A peel-off lip liner simply had to join the Super Stay franchise.

The Product

Available in five shades (Aura is a neutral brown, Haze is a rosewood mauve, Sunset is a mid-tone plum, Dawn is a soft, bright pink, and Blaze is a classic, neutral red), Super Stay Peel Off Lip Liner was formulated to set in around five minutes. Then, the gel will peel off seamlessly and leave your lips lined for up to 24 hours of "pillow-proof, shower-proof, food-proof, and drink-proof" wear.

Suitable for all skin types, the cushion-gel formula is also infused with vitamin E for a little lip love. It's the good kind of peel, and the good kind of stain.

The Reviews

Olivia Hancock, senior editor

"There's nothing more annoying than spending time perfecting a lip combo only for your liner to disappear an hour later. So when I saw Maybelline's new Peel-Off Lip Liner, I knew I had to try it. You leave it on for five minutes, peel it off, and you're supposed to be left with a stain that actually sticks around. I can confirm that's absolutely true. Plus, the formula feels super comfortable as well—it's not sticky or drying whatsoever. Aura has been my favorite shade so far—it's the perfect brown-nude on me."

Bella Cacciatore, senior news editor

"I've always loved the idea of a lip liner stain—I'm obsessed with a bold liner but apply lip balm constantly—but in practice have never really stuck the landing. They're always messy, imprecise, and look so patchy on my ultra-dry lips. Maybelline's however, made me understand the hype behind the viral product category. The applicator is small with a nice point, so I got a clean, crisp line, and after a few minutes the formula easily peeled off my lips in one fell swoop (in the past, I've had to use a damp washcloth). Most importantly, the rosy nude Haze shade was so flattering, and really stayed in place all day, even with my lip balm habit."
