Setup: 1. Ensure lips are clean and moisturized. 2. For best results and extended wear, apply a lip primer like MAC PREP + PRIME LIP. 3. Apply the MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick directly to lips, starting from the center and moving outwards. 4. For added precision or definition, outline lips with a coordinating MAC Lip Pencil before or after lipstick application. Compatibility: This lipstick is compatible with MAC PREP + PRIME LIP for enhanced wear and smoothness. It can also be paired with MAC Lip Pencils for precise lip definition and layered with MAC Lipglass for a high-shine finish over the matte color. Care: To maintain the quality and integrity of your MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick, store it with the cap securely closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in hot environments, such as a car. Clean the bullet gently with a tissue if needed to remove any buildup.
