The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy is engineered for daily wear and offers excellent versatility. For optimal performance, begin by ensuring your lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate if necessary, and apply a light lip balm or primer, allowing it to absorb before lipstick application.
To apply, you can directly glide the lipstick from the bullet onto your lips for full, rich color payoff. For more precision or a softer look, use a lip brush. The creamy texture allows for buildable coverage, letting you layer for desired intensity. The 'Velvet Teddy' shade, a classic nude-beige, makes it an excellent choice for a natural everyday look, complementing a smoky eye, or pairing with a subtly defined lip liner for added structure. Its silky matte finish is designed to stay comfortable for extended periods, providing a polished appearance without feeling heavy or overly dry.
Setup: There is no complex setup required for the MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick. Simply remove the cap and twist up the product to expose the lipstick bullet.
Compatibility:
Lip Preparation: For the best application and wear, this lipstick is highly compatible with lip primers and exfoliators. These can help create a smooth canvas for the matte finish.
Lip Liners: Pair it with a complementary nude or brown lip liner to define your lip shape and prevent feathering.
Skin Tones: The 'Velvet Teddy' shade is designed to be versatile and is ideal for all skin tones.
Care:
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and integrity.
Protection: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the lipstick from drying out, becoming contaminated, or getting damaged.
Cleaning: If the lipstick tube gets marked, gently wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
