"Different format but a dead-on shade match. If you want the Velvet Teddy color with insane longevity, this liquid lip outlasts the original by hours. The trade-off is the drying feel of a matte liquid lip."
Shop dupeMy verdict
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Seductress is a dead-on shade match for Velvet Teddy with insane longevity. The format is different—liquid lip versus bullet—but the color payoff and transfer resistance blow the original out of the water. If you want the Velvet Teddy color to last through dinner, drinks, and dancing without reapplication, the Maybelline wins on performance. If you want the familiar bullet format and comfort, the original remains the benchmark.
