MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick - Red

Silky Matte refers to a modern matte finish that aims to provide a smooth, comfortable feel on the lips, often being less drying than traditional matte lipstick formulas.

For the best application and comfort, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin, then apply a hydrating lip balm. Blot off any excess balm before applying the lipstick.
