The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick is formulated for high performance in various settings. Its ultra-pigmented formula glides smoothly onto lips, delivering full, opaque color in a single swipe. The inclusion of nourishing ingredients means that despite its matte finish, it feels comfortable and hydrating throughout the day, avoiding the dry sensation often associated with matte lipsticks.
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a light lip balm or primer, allowing it to absorb fully before applying lipstick.
Define (Optional): For crisp edges and extended wear, outline your lips with a matching MAC Lip Pencil.
Apply Evenly: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat on the lower lip.
Blot (Optional): For a stain-like effect or to reduce initial transfer, gently blot with a tissue after application.
Long Events: Ideal for long workdays, special occasions, or evenings out, as it maintains its vibrant color and comfort for up to 12 hours.
Photography: Its matte finish and intense pigmentation make it excellent for photos, where it provides a rich, non-reflective color.
Comfortable All-Day Wear: You'll notice your lips feeling conditioned and moisturized for up to 8 hours, minimizing the need for reapplication for comfort.
There is no specific setup required for the lipstick itself. Simply remove the cap and it's ready for use. For best results, ensure your lips are clean, exfoliated, and moisturized before application.
Lip Liners: Compatible with MAC Lip Pencils for precise application and to prevent feathering.
Lip Primers: Can be used with MAC Prep + Prime Lip for enhanced smoothness and extended wear.
Other Lip Products: While designed for standalone wear, it can be layered over or under non-oil-based lip products, though this may affect its 12-hour wear claim.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and prevent melting or drying.
Closing: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from dust and debris.
Cleaning: If the outer case becomes soiled, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth.
