The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in 'Mixed Media' is engineered for high-performance color delivery and comfortable wear. Its "Macximal" formulation means you get full, rich color with minimal effort, making it ideal for both quick applications and detailed makeup looks.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best color payoff, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Gently blot any excess balm before applying lipstick.
Direct Application for Boldness: For a high-impact, full-coverage look, apply the lipstick directly from the bullet to your lips, starting from the center and moving outwards.
Brush for Precision: For more defined edges or to blend the 'Mixed Media' shade perfectly, use a lip brush. This is particularly useful for achieving sharp lines with matte finishes.
Dab for a Stained Effect: For a softer, more diffused look, gently dab a small amount of lipstick onto the center of your lips and blend outwards with your fingertip. This can create a unique, stained effect with the multi-dimensional 'Mixed Media' shade.
Pair with Liner: For enhanced definition and to prevent feathering, outline your lips with a matching or clear MAC Lip Pencil before applying the lipstick.
Simply uncap the lipstick and twist the base to expose the product. No complex setup is required.
Lip Liners: Highly compatible with MAC Lip Pencils. A clear liner can prevent feathering, while a matching or complementary colored liner can define and enhance your lip shape.
Lip Primers: For extended wear and an even smoother application, consider using a lip primer underneath. This can also help to condition lips for a more comfortable matte finish.
Other Lip Products: While it delivers a matte finish, it can be layered with a lip gloss in the center of the lips for added dimension, if desired.
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. High heat can cause the product to melt or change consistency.
Secure Cap: Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the product from drying out, contamination, or accidental damage.
Hygiene: For best hygiene and to maintain product integrity, avoid sharing your lipstick. If applying over other lip products, gently blot your lips beforehand.
