The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Pink is engineered for a striking look with comfortable wear. To achieve the best results:
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and hydrated. Apply a light lip balm a few minutes before, then blot any excess.
Precise Application: For sharp lines, consider using a MAC Lip Pencil in a matching or complementary pink shade to line your lips before applying the lipstick. This also helps prevent feathering.
Direct Application: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and gliding outwards towards the corners. Repeat for the lower lip.
Building Color: For more intense color, apply a second layer. The "Macximal" formula is designed to deliver high pigment with minimal effort.
Blotting (Optional): If you prefer an even more matte or stain-like finish, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application.
Real-world Performance: This silky matte formula aims to minimize the dry feel often associated with matte lipsticks, making it suitable for extended wear. Its vibrant pink shade can brighten up a casual look or add a pop of color to a more formal ensemble. While designed for long wear, a touch-up after a meal or extensive drinking may be beneficial to maintain its initial vibrancy.
Setup: This lipstick is ready to use directly from its packaging. Simply uncap and twist the base to reveal the product.
Compatibility:
Lip Liners: Highly compatible with MAC Lip Pencils for defining lips and preventing feathering. Choose a shade close to the lipstick or slightly darker for added definition.
Lip Primers: Can be used with a lip primer to create a smoother canvas and potentially extend wear.
Lip Glosses: While designed for a matte finish, a clear or coordinating lip gloss can be layered over for a customized look with added shine.
Care:
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Heat can soften the product, while cold can make it brittle.
Recap After Use: Always recap the lipstick tightly after each use to prevent drying out, contamination, and accidental damage to the bullet.
Cleanliness: If the bullet collects lint or debris, gently wipe it clean with a tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers directly on the product.
