The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick is engineered for effortless application and impressive wear. For optimal performance, start with clean, dry lips. For precise application and to enhance the non-feathering claim, consider outlining your lips with a complementary MAC Lip Pencil before filling in with the lipstick.
Its silky satin-matte finish provides a sophisticated look that isn't overly flat or drying. The inclusion of coconut oil, organic shea butter, and cocoa butter means that while it delivers a matte appearance, it actively works to keep your lips feeling comfortable and hydrated for up to eight hours. This counters the common perception of matte lipsticks being uncomfortable or drying.
In real-world scenarios, the 12-hour full-coverage color holds up well through light meals and drinks, maintaining its richness. The non-flaking and non-feathering formula is particularly beneficial for prolonged wear, ensuring your lip look remains polished throughout the day without migrating into fine lines around the mouth. Users can expect their lips to feel conditioned and appear smoother due to the nourishing properties, contributing to a more voluptuous look.
Setup & Application:
Prep Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and exfoliated. You may apply a light lip balm beforehand, blotting off any excess.
Outline (Optional): For enhanced precision and to prevent feathering, use a MAC Lip Pencil in a shade matching or slightly darker than your lipstick to outline your lips.
Apply Lipstick: Glide the MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick directly onto your lips from the bullet, starting from the center and working outwards. For more precise application, use a lip brush.
Build Coverage: Apply one coat for opaque color, or layer for intensified saturation.
Compatibility:
This lipstick is designed to be a standalone product for full-coverage color. It pairs seamlessly with MAC Lip Pencils for definition.
It is compatible with general makeup routines and can be integrated with other MAC lip products like Lipglass for a varied finish.
Care:
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and integrity.
Hygiene: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent drying and contamination. If the lipstick comes into contact with other surfaces, gently wipe the bullet clean with a tissue.
