What is the best lipstick that stays on?
All of our lipstick have great staying power for their finish but some textures more than others. Our Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours have an 8 hour long-wear lipstick formula that provides a rush of pigment-soaked colour in a velvety, mattest matte finish. Not only does the colour wear evenly and smoothly for 8 hours, this formula also stays colour true for 8 hours and is non-feathering and non-bleeding. For the perfect red lip that will last all day, pair 'Feels So Grand' with 'Cherry' Lip Pencil for that timeless glamour feel. If you prefer a traditional lipstick bullet over a liquid formula then MACximal Silky Matte Lipsticks are going to be your best friends. These lipstick's are the reinvented iconic matte lipstick, with a long-wearing 12 hour formula featuring an intense colour payoff and a completely matte finish.
The matte finish gives these lipsticks immense staying powder with minimal transfer giving them the ability to stay on like no other! For a perfect pairing wear our best selling 'Ruby Woo' Lipstick with 'Ruby Woo' Lip Pencil for a gorgeous, all day wear, classic red lip. Our MACximal Silky Matte Lipsticks are in a league of their own but matte isn’t everyone’s preferred texture.
A great way to get maximum lipstick longevity for whatever your desired texture is, is by follow a few easy steps: 1. Remove any dry or flakey skin from your lips. Using our Lip Scrubtious lip scrub in 'Sweet Vanilla' to buff away any dead or flakes. I like to also use our Lip Conditioner as an overnight treatment to ensure the next day my lips are at maximum softness! 2. Prepare your lips with our trusty Prep + Prime Lip, a clear lip primer which prevents feathering and extends the wear of all lipstick textures from lustre to matte. With over 200+ shades of lipsticks to choose from these industry tricks will help you make the most out of your signature MAC shades!
TOP TIP:
For a bold lip, for quickness apply your lipstick first then use the liner to neaten the edges. Rather then creating a presise line first and having pressure to not apply out the lines. This will create the lip a lot quicker for you.
