Editor's note: Here at Cosmo, we're all about being up to date with the latest drops from *all* the beauty brands, finding hidden gems already out there, and finding our next Holy Grail. And don't worry—we're not gatekeeping!
Every day, we post one beauty product from our stash at the office (because trust us, we get a *lot* of them) and give you a no-nonsense lowdown on each item. You get all the info in just one click. It's a TL;DR, if you will. They're all in one daily series: The Beauty FYP, a page that's all about beauty—just for you (see what we did there?). Let the Cosmo editors be your personal algorithm. ;)
Fact: Bullet lipsticks are probably one of the first makeup products everyone had. It's compact enough to be taken anywhere, plus it comes in many finishes like matte, satin, cream, and velvet. But if you want something that is long-lasting and doesn't require frequent touch-ups, a matte bullet lippie is your best bet.
MAC Cosmetics is one of the first beauty brands that comes to mind when we think about matte lipsticks. Their famed Retro Matte line of lipsticks has been loved by celebs, makeup artists, and beauty girlies for its staying power and intense pigment. However, some may find it *too drying* on the lips and can emphasize fine lines.
If you're part of that camp, you might like MAC's newest iteration of their matte bullet lipsticks. For today's #BeautyFYP, we'll be giving you the low-down on the MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick. Will it be a future mainstay on your makeup kit? Let's find out:
What is the MAC Cosmetics MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick?
The MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick has the same matte finish we've all loved from MAC but with a more silky, comfortable feel. It offers up to 12 hours of full coverage and eight hours of moisture.
P.S. It's also the bullet lipstick that came on top from our recently released Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards 2024! ;)
