FIND YOUR LIPSTICK SHADE
Choose a pink lipstick based on your undertone: cool tones suit blue-based pinks, while warm tones pair well with peachy or coral pinks.
Ruby Woo’s retro matte formula can feel drying for some. Prepping lips with balm before application helps maintain comfort.
The best matte lipstick depends on preferences, but MAC’s Matte and Retro Matte ranges are loved for their bold color payoff and staying power.
HOW IS BEST TO APPLY LIPSTICK?
There are several ways to apply lipstick. The best way is to firstly get totally smooth lips with MAC Lip Scrubtious. Once suitably scrubbed and soft, prep the lips using Prep & Prime Lip.
Begin filling in the lips with the lipstick bullet getting as close to the lip line as you can. Then take a lip pencil and softly start shading the edges of the lips to create a clean, sharp shape.
The best brand for lipsticks has, of course, got to be the brand that has chosen to establish itself as the ultimate colour authority since 1984, MAC! At MAC we offer over 200 different shades of lipstick and that's just in bullet form alone!
Red is timelessly popular, with lipstick colours like Ruby Woo, Velvet Teddy, Mehr and Devoted to Chili.
Nude tones are also widely loved for their versatility.

WHICH IS BETTER LIP BALM OR LIPSTICK?
Lip balm is better for hydration and may be better for a natural look, however, this is still achievable with the right shade and texture of lipstick. Lipstick may be better at lasting on the lips and adding colour as it has a more concentrated pigment and finishes your look. You can use both together for moisturised, colourful lips!
MAC matte lipstick finishes are non-shine and contain mattifying agents, whereas our cream lipstick finishes have a more moisturising and hydrating, satin-like finish with subtle sheen.
Lipsticks come in many different textures and formulas, from matte to satin and bullet to liquid formulas. Our matte lipsticks refer to a texture with no shine and can come in a bullet form like our MACximal Silky Matte Lipsticks or liquid like our Locked Kiss Ink 24hr Lipcolour.
At MAC we have a variety of lipstick formulas with different textures. For a moisturising matte finish lipstick try our MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick or for a glossier finish try Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick.
Liquid matte lipsticks, like MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor, offer the longest wear without fading or smudging.
MAC offers over 200 lipstick shades in various finishes, catering to every skin tone and style preference.
To compliment an olive skin tone you are best off going for something that adds a warmer tone to the lip such as warm nudes, peachy tones and terracotta or berry shades and deep reds, enhancing your undertone.
