The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick is designed for effortless application and reliable performance throughout your day. Its silky matte texture glides smoothly, offering the sophisticated look of a matte finish without the typical dryness. The rich pigmentation means you get true-to-tube color on your lips with minimal effort, making it ideal for quick touch-ups or a full application.
For optimal results:
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Gently blot any excess lip balm before applying the lipstick.
Define (Optional): For precise application and to help prevent feathering, consider outlining your lips with a lip pencil in a shade similar to 'Snob' Pink or your natural lip color.
Apply: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards to the corners. Repeat on the lower lip.
Blot (Optional): For a stain-like effect or to increase longevity, gently blot with a tissue and apply a second layer.
The inclusion of coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter means this lipstick actively conditions your lips. This translates to comfortable wear for extended periods, making it suitable for long events, workdays, or evenings out where reapplication might not be convenient. The 12-hour wear claim holds up well, with minimal transfer and fading, especially when paired with proper lip preparation. Its resistance to feathering and bleeding makes it a dependable choice for crisp lip lines.
Setup (First Use & Application):
Remove the cap from the lipstick bullet.
Twist the base of the lipstick to reveal the product.
Apply directly to clean, prepared lips (refer to 'Performance & Real-World Use' for detailed application steps).
Twist the product back down and securely replace the cap after each use.
Compatibility:
Lip Liner: Highly compatible with MAC Lip Pencils for enhanced definition and extended wear.
Lip Primer: Can be used with a lip primer for an even smoother base and potentially longer wear, though its hydrating formula often makes a primer less essential for comfort.
Other Lip Products: While designed for standalone wear, it can be layered with a clear gloss in the center of the lips for added dimension, if a less matte look is desired.
Care:
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to maintain its texture and integrity.
Hygiene: Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent drying out and contamination.
Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet gets smudged, gently wipe with a clean tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers on the product itself.
