Maybelline New York Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick, Instant Shine Lasts Up To 16H - Pomodoro Sauce (4.2g)

What the formula feels like on the lips

This one sits somewhere between a liquid lipstick and a gloss. It gives that shiny vinyl-style finish, but it doesn't feel as slippery as a traditional gloss once it settles.

Right after application, the texture feels smooth and slightly creamy. After a minute or so, it holds better on the lips while still keeping the shine visible. It doesn't dry down into a flat matte layer.
