The MACXimal Sleek Satin Lipstick glides on effortlessly, offering immediate, rich color payoff and a notably comfortable feel. Its sleek satin finish provides a polished appearance suitable for various occasions, from daily wear to evening events.
For optimal performance:
Preparation is Key: Ensure your lips are clean and gently exfoliated to create a smooth canvas. Applying a light layer of lip balm and letting it absorb for a few minutes before lipstick application can enhance smoothness and comfort.
Application: Apply directly from the bullet for a bold, precise look. For more controlled application or to blend edges, a lip brush can be used.
Enhancing Longevity: For extended wear, especially for the Dubonnet shade, consider outlining and filling in your lips with a matching red lip pencil before applying the lipstick. Blotting gently with a tissue after the first layer and then applying a second can also improve wear time.
Versatility: The satin finish allows for easy layering. Apply a clear gloss over it for added shine, or use it as a base for more complex lip looks.
Setup (First Use & Application):
Prep Lips: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a thin layer of hydrating lip balm and allow it to absorb for a few minutes.
Optional: Lip Liner: For enhanced precision and wear, outline your lips with a lip liner matching the Dubonnet shade. For a fuller look, you can also fill in your entire lip with the liner.
Apply Lipstick: Apply the MACXimal Sleek Satin Lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and following the natural curve outwards. Repeat for the lower lip.
Blot (Optional): For a slightly more muted look or to increase wear time, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application and then apply a second thin layer.
Compatibility:
This lipstick is compatible with most lip primers, lip liners, and lip glosses. It pairs particularly well with MAC Lip Pencils for definition.
Suitable for use with various skin types, though individual sensitivities may vary.
Care:
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can alter its texture and efficacy.
Hygiene: Always recap the lipstick securely after each use to prevent it from drying out and to protect it from dust and debris. Avoid sharing your lipstick to maintain hygiene.
Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet gets smudged on the outside, gently wipe the casing with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
