Lipstick lovers, get ready for a game-changer. MAC has just unveiled its latest update to one of their iconic lip formulas – the MACximal Silky Matte lipsticks. And let us tell you, they are bigger and better than ever before.
A New Lipstick Sensation
MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick is here to make a statement. With 44 stunning shades, including all-time favorites like Ruby Woo and Velvet Teddy, this collection has something for everyone.
But it’s not just about the colors. MAC has upgraded the formula with cocoa and shea butter, giving your lips a silky smooth finish that feels absolutely luxurious. Gone are the days of dry, uncomfortable matte lips. These lipsticks are designed to keep you comfortable all day long, with a wear time of up to 12 hours.
MAC’s iconic sleek lipstick cases complete the package, giving you a lipstick that not only looks great but also feels amazing.
Inspired by History
MAC is going back to its roots with the MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick collection. It takes inspiration from the very first MAC makeup product launched in 1984 – Flamingo Matte Lipstick, a vibrant coral color.
The new line-up includes the iconic Flamingo Matte Lipstick shade, along with 39 more core shades and four limited-edition Viva Glam editions. Whether you prefer classic reds or trendy modern shades, there’s a color to suit every mood and occasion.
Flawless Application Tips
Dominic Skinner, MAC’s director of makeup artistry, shares his secret for a flawless pout: “Apply your chosen MACximal Lipstick BEFORE using lip liner. Simply fill your lips with lip color and then use the lip pencil to pull the color out to a fuller and plumper shape.”
This simple trick will give you fuller-looking lips without any extra effort. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!
