POWDER KISS LIQUID LIPCOLOR

The MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour is a liquid lipstick that is part of the popular Powder Kiss line, known for its soft-focus, matte finish.¹ Unlike traditional liquid lipsticks that can feel drying or heavy, this product is designed to provide a comfortable, weightless, and hydrating experience.²

Key Features and Benefits

• Soft-Focus, Moisture-Matte Finish: The formula delivers a unique "blurred" or "soft-focus" effect on the lips, similar to a velvet or suede finish.³ It's a modern take on matte lipstick that avoids the flat, harsh look.

   

• Whipped, Mousse-like Texture: The product has a light and airy texture that feels smooth and comfortable on the lips.⁴ This whipped consistency helps it glide on effortlessly and evenly.

   

• Hydrating and Non-Drying: A key selling point is its hydrating formula.⁵ It contains a special blend of powders and emollients that provide moisture and keep lips feeling soft and smooth for up to 10 hours.⁶ It is designed not to settle into lines or feel flaky.

   

• Long-wearing: It offers long-lasting, stay-true color for up to 8 to 10 hours without significant fading.⁷

   

• Blurring Effect: The formula is engineered to blur lines and smooth the lips, creating a plump and perfected appearance.⁸

   

• Hourglass-Shaped Applicator: The applicator is specifically designed in an hourglass shape to perfectly hug the curves of the lips.⁹ This allows for precise application and helps to fill in lines for a smooth finish.¹⁰

   

Ingredients

The formula relies on a mix of emollients, silicones, and powders to achieve its unique texture and finish.¹¹ Key ingredients often include:

• Dimethicone: A common silicone that gives the product its silky, smooth feel and helps it to be long-wearing and water-resistant.¹²

   

• Tribehenin: An emollient that gives the formula its creamy texture and provides excellent cushioning.¹³

   

• Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate: An emollient and emulsifier that contributes to the product's smooth application and finish.¹⁴

   

• Tocopheryl Acetate: A form of Vitamin E that provides antioxidant properties and helps to moisturize the lips.¹⁵

   

Application

For a blurred look, you can apply the product and then gently dab the edges with your finger to diffuse the color. For a more defined look, use the tip of the applicator to line the lips before filling them in.
