The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in 'No Coral Ation' delivers on its promise of a silky matte finish with excellent performance in real-world scenarios. Upon application, the lipstick glides smoothly onto the lips, providing rich, opaque color in just one or two swipes. The 'silky' aspect of the matte finish means it feels more comfortable than traditional drying mattes, though proper lip preparation (exfoliation and a light balm application beforehand) will ensure the smoothest canvas and prevent any emphasis on lip lines.
In terms of wear, this lipstick offers commendable longevity. Users can expect several hours of wear without significant fading, though reapplication may be necessary after meals or extensive drinking. The 'No Coral Ation' shade, being a distinct orange, is perfect for making a statement, whether it's a vibrant daytime look, a summery pop of color, or a bold evening ensemble. Its matte finish also means less chance of accidental smudging compared to creamier formulas.
Preparation for Optimal Application:
Exfoliate Lips: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry flakes, creating a smooth surface for application.
Hydrate: Apply a thin layer of lip balm and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before blotting off any excess. This helps prevent the matte formula from emphasizing dry patches.
Optional Lip Primer: For extended wear and to prevent feathering, consider applying a lip primer.
Application:
Start by outlining your lips with a lip pencil in a complementary shade to 'No Coral Ation' (e.g., a warm nude or a matching orange liner) for precision.
Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards.
Repeat on the lower lip.
For a more precise application, use a lip brush.
Compatibility:
This lipstick pairs well with MAC's various lip pencils for defining the lip line.
It can be worn alone or layered over a lip primer for enhanced longevity.
Compatible with most lip removers for easy cleanup.
Care & Storage:
Keep the lipstick cap securely closed when not in use to prevent drying and contamination.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can alter the formula and texture.
If the lipstick gets smudged on the tube, gently wipe with a tissue or a damp cloth.
