MAC M·A·CXIMAL Silky Matte Lipstick in Antique Velvet is a pigment-rich, silky-matte formula that delivers full coverage and comfortable wear for up to 12 hours.

Designed to combine the velvety look of a matte finish with a more comfortable, nourishing feel, this MAC lipstick balances intense color payoff with conditioning ingredients so lips appear smooth and full without feeling tight. The Antique Velvet shade offers a warm, wearable tone suitable for day-to-night looks, while the compact 0.1 oz tube tucks easily into a makeup bag or clutch.

How does this lipstick balance matte color with comfort?

The M·A·CXIMAL formula layers rich pigments in a silky base that minimizes dryness commonly associated with matte finishes. It uses conditioning components to help lips stay supple, reducing the chalky or cracked appearance often seen with traditional mattes.

• Silky-matte texture for reduced dryness
• High pigment concentration for full opacity in one swipe
• Formulated to resist feathering, bleeding, flaking, and caking for up to 12 hours

What kind of wear and color performance can I expect?

You can expect true-to-shade color that lasts through normal daily activities thanks to the long-wear formulation. While wear will vary by individual, the product is engineered for sustained, color-true performance and to maintain a consistent matte appearance over time.

• Up to 12 hours of long-wearing color retention
• Non-feathering and non-bleeding finish preserves clean lip edges
• Non-flaking and non-caking properties keep the look intact

Does Antique Velvet suit different skin tones and occasions?

Antique Velvet is a versatile, warm-toned shade that works well across many complexions—providing a polished, sophisticated look for both casual and more formal settings. Layer it lightly for daytime subtlety or apply full coverage for an evening statement.

• Warm, adaptable hue suitable for a range of skin tones
• Buildable coverage: sheer to full depending on application
• Compact size (0.1 oz / 3.5 g) for easy touch-ups on the go

How should I apply and maintain this lipstick for best results?

For a clean application, outline lips with a matching liner if desired, then apply directly or with a brush for precision. Blot and reapply for extended wear, and exfoliate or hydrate lips beforehand to achieve the smoothest finish.

• Prep lips with gentle exfoliation and a thin hydrating layer
• Use a lip liner to define edges and prevent migration
• Blot between layers to lock in color and extend wear time

Who is this for: MAC M·A·CXIMAL Silky Matte Lipstick in Antique Velvet is ideal for anyone who wants the modern, flat-matte aesthetic without sacrificing comfort—makeup lovers who need long-lasting, high-impact color in a travel-friendly size. It's particularly well suited to people seeking a reliably non-creasing, non-feathering matte that still conditions the lips for a smoother appearance throughout the day.
