MAC Lip Care Lipstick No. 417 New York Apple — 3g pearlescent, semi-lustrous finish with Vitamin E & Shea Butter

This lipstick combines cosmetics and care in a 3 g / 0.1 oz bullet designed for everyday wear and quick touch-ups. The finish sits between satin and shine, giving lips a subtle pearl shimmer without looking overly glossy. You can swipe it straight from the tube for fast application or use a 316 brush to define edges and build intensity. The formula focuses on comfort — it smooths, hydrates and looks luminous rather than flat.

How does the color and finish wear throughout the day?

No. 417 New York Apple gives an immediately noticeable pearlescent sheen and medium opacity that you can deepen with more layers. Over hours of wear the semi-lustrous finish softens without turning completely matte, keeping lips visibly moisturized while the color gently fades.

• Pearlescent, semi-lustrous finish for a soft luminous effect
• Medium, buildable coverage—layer for richer color
• Comfort-focused formula that avoids tacky shine
• Natural fade pattern, no patchy wear

What ingredients help keep lips comfortable?

The formula is enriched with Vitamin E and Shea Butter to help condition and protect the lip surface while you wear color. These emollients improve glide and leave lips feeling softer after application, making the bullet suitable for daily use.

• Vitamin E: antioxidant support and smoother application
• Shea Butter: emollient that helps retain moisture
• Lightweight base for comfortable all-day wear
• No heavy waxiness—designed for easy reapplication

How should I apply it for the best results?

For fast, flawless application swipe directly from the bullet following the lip line. For precision or fuller definition, use a 316 brush to trace edges and build the center. Blot lightly between layers to set color or layer up for stronger pigment and gloss control.

• Direct application for quick, everyday use
• 316 brush for sharp edges and layered intensity
• Layer and blot to increase longevity without excess shine
• Works well over balm or primer for smoother finish

How much product do I get and what packaging details matter?

The lipstick comes in a 3 g / 0.1 oz bullet sized for handbag convenience and touch-up portability. Its shape supports both full-face application and detailed lining; the compact weight makes it travel-friendly and simple to store in small cosmetics pouches.

• Net weight: 3 g / 0.1 oz—compact and portable
• Classic MAC bullet for controlled application
• Easy to carry for on-the-go retouches
• Designed to pair with brushes or direct swipe use

Who is this for? This lipstick suits anyone seeking a hydrating, everyday color with a pearlescent shine—ideal for people who want wearable pigment that’s easy to layer, comfortable to wear for long periods, and simple to reapply. It appeals to those who appreciate a luminous finish without high gloss and who value skincare-forward lip formulas that include Vitamin E and Shea Butter.
