Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon Lipstick in shade 25 Stay Exceptional is a versatile, matte lip crayon in a flattering pinky mauve, ideal for a sophisticated everyday look. Part of the Spiced Edition, it features Elastic Ink technology for smudge- and transfer-resistant color that lasts up to 8 hours. The creamy, lightweight formula glides on smoothly, offering comfort without drying lips, though some X users suggest a lip balm base for extra hydration. Its precise tip and built-in sharpener ensure effortless, mistake-proof application, perfect for lining and filling lips on the go. In 2025, beauty enthusiasts, including reviews on Ashley Brooke, praise its rich pigmentation and smooth, non-sticky texture, noting its ability to last through light meals and drinks with minimal fading. The shade suits various skin tones, particularly light to medium, as highlighted on Temptalia. While it may require reapplication after oily meals, its crayon format simplifies touch-ups. Awarded the 2020 Allure Best of Beauty Award, this drugstore gem rivals high-end brands, with users appreciating its vanilla scent and breathable feel compared to liquid lipsticks. Removal is easy with an oil-based cleanser like Maybelline’s Expert Eyes. Whether for work or casual outings, Stay Exceptional delivers vibrant, long-lasting color with precise control, making it a makeup bag staple.
