Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
- Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a light layer of lip balm, allowing it to absorb fully before applying lipstick. Blot away any excess balm.
- Define (Optional but Recommended): For precise lines and to maximize wear, outline your lips with a lip pencil in a shade that matches your natural lip color or the lipstick. This creates a neat boundary.
- Apply Lipstick: Apply the MAC Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat for the lower lip. For more control, use a lip brush.
- Blot (Optional): For a stain-like effect or to remove excess product, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application, then reapply for intensified color and wear.
Compatibility
This lipstick's formula is designed to be compatible with all skin types due to its nourishing ingredients. Its rich blend of coconut oil, organic shea butter, and cocoa butter actively conditions and hydrates lips, making it suitable even for those who typically find matte lipsticks drying. It pairs exceptionally well with MAC Lip Pencils for extended wear and enhanced definition.
Care & Storage
- Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and integrity.
- Hygiene: To keep your lipstick hygienic, avoid sharing it with others. If you apply it with a brush, ensure the brush is cleaned regularly.
- Protection: Always retract the lipstick bullet fully into the tube and securely cap it after each use to prevent damage and contamination.
