What is lipstick made of?

MAC Lipsticks delivers intense colour payoff and are available in 8+ Textures and over 150 shades. Lipsticks can come in bullet or liquid form. Our textures include Retro Matte, Matte, Satin, Amplified, Cremesheen, Frost, Lustre and our newest additions to the bullet family Powder Kiss & Love Me. All smelling divine with a subtle hit of Vanilla due to our Vanillin ingredient (a pure extract of the vanilla bean).

The ingredients variety from texture to texture due to each Lipstick delievering it’s own unique and individual benefits. For example, a luxurious Love me Lipstick called Tres Blase, (perfect with Boldly Bare Lip Liner) feels buttery and creamy on the lips due to it being an argan oil-infused lipstick. Making it a beautiful all day moisturising, comfortable lipstick. Our most iconic lipstick Ruby Woo, being part of our Retro Matte Lipstick Family is very unique in formula to create the ultimate Matte all day wear Red Lipstick.
