Full details

FAQs

Is this lipstick truly matte or does it have a shine?

The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick provides a silky matte finish. It offers the modern look of matte without being overly drying, and does not have a glossy or shiny appearance.

How long can I expect this lipstick to last on my lips?

This lipstick is designed for long-lasting wear. With proper lip preparation and application techniques (like blotting), you can expect several hours of vibrant color, even through light eating and drinking.

What is the size of the lipstick?

The MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick comes in a standard size of 3.5g.

Will this red shade suit all skin tones?

Red lipsticks are highly personal, but this shade is formulated to be a versatile, classic red. We recommend trying it on to see how it complements your specific skin tone, as individual results may vary.

How should I remove this long-wearing lipstick?

For effective removal, use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated lip makeup remover. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently wipe across your lips until all traces of the lipstick are gone.

Can I wear this lipstick daily?

Yes, this lipstick is suitable for daily wear. Its comfortable silky matte finish and long-lasting formula make it a great option for an everyday statement lip, depending on your personal style preference.

Troubleshooting

Lipstick appears patchy or uneven.

Ensure your lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Dry or flaky patches can prevent smooth, even coverage. Blot any excess lip balm before applying the lipstick.

Lipstick doesn't last as long as expected.

For extended wear, apply a lip primer or lip pencil as a base over the entire lip area. After applying the first coat of lipstick, blot with a tissue, and then apply a second coat for maximum longevity.

Lips feel dry or uncomfortable after application.

While this is a silky matte, matte lipsticks can feel less hydrating. Ensure you've hydrated your lips thoroughly with a good lip balm before application. You can also apply a very thin layer of hydrating balm *under* the lipstick.

Color is not as vibrant as desired.

Apply the lipstick in two layers for full color payoff. Make sure there's no residual product on your lips (like foundation or concealer) that could dilute the true shade. Using a matching lip liner can also enhance vibrancy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Bold, Vibrant Color: Delivers a striking red shade perfect for making a statement.
Comfortable Matte: Offers a non-drying, silky matte finish that feels good on the lips.
Effortless Application: The smooth texture allows for quick and easy glide-on.
Excellent Longevity: Stays vibrant and intact for hours, minimizing touch-ups.
Versatile Use: Suitable for both day and evening looks, depending on styling.

Cons

Lip Preparation Needed: For the smoothest finish, dry lips may require prior exfoliation and moisturizing.
Potential for Transfer: While long-lasting, like most lipsticks, it can transfer slightly if not fully blotted or set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup (Lip Preparation):

Before applying the MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick, it's crucial to prepare your lips to ensure the smoothest application and best wear.

Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry, flaky skin. This creates an even canvas for the lipstick.
Hydrate: Apply a light, non-greasy lip balm. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes, then blot off any excess with a tissue. This step is vital for comfort with a matte finish.

Compatibility:

This lipstick is highly compatible with lip pencils for enhanced definition and wear. Consider using a MAC Lip Pencil in a matching red shade for a polished look.
It can be layered over or under lip primers designed to extend lipstick wear.

Care and Storage:

Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and prevent melting or drying out.
Hygiene: Always recap the lipstick tightly after each use to prevent it from drying out and to protect the product. Avoid direct contact with clothing or fabrics as the rich pigment can stain.
Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet gets smudged, gently wipe the excess with a clean tissue. Do not wash the product with water.
