THE UPDATE

M·A·C’s entire lipstick range includes everything from the Satin to the Retro Matte and high-shine Amplified finishes. But beauty obsessives will know M·A·C reformulated its matte lipsticks just over a year ago – a quiet upgrade that’s made the cult favourite feel fresher and more luxurious. Macximal Silky Matte marks the ultimate evolution: the newer formula blends shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil to nourish and condition. It also glides on seamlessly, sets down to a soft, velvety matte finish and stays put for up to 12 hours at a time. The new packaging is also different, reflecting the lipstick’s modern feel. Don’t’ worry – it still has everything loyal fans loved before – the rich pigment, the signature vanilla scent, the instantly recognisable bullet – but now, the Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick reflects what beauty fans want from a modern matte: a comfortable, creamy formula that looks polished and never turns dry.

THE NEW & EXSISTING SHADES

With 40 shades in the line-up, there’s truly something for everyone – and every occasion. From soft, everyday nudes to statement-making reds, the collection celebrates versatility and inclusivity in equal measure. Cult favourites like ‘Ruby Woo’, ‘Velvet Teddy’, ‘Mehr’ and ‘Chili’ remain at the heart of the range, joined by a fresh set of new hues that span everything from barely-there tones to rich berries and modern pinks. Whether you lean towards understated elegance or bold glamour, there’s a shade designed to flatter every skin tone here.

THE FANS

Beloved by make-up artists and A-listers alike, M·A·C lipsticks have earned their icon status for a reason. ‘Ruby Woo’ alone has graced countless red carpets – worn by everyone from Rihanna to Taylor Swift – while ‘Velvet Teddy’ remains a go-to for the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Meghan Markle. Behind the scenes, you’ll find them in the kits of top make-up artists, who swear by the formulas for their pigment, versatility and staying power. For millions of beauty fans around the world, a M·A·C lipstick isn’t just another product – it’s the one they’ll always return to, no matter how many others they try.
