M·A·C Locked Kiss 24hr Lipstick

Product Information

If the M·A·Cximal is the "silky" choice, the M·A·C Locked Kiss Ink 24HR Lipcolour is the "indestructible" one. This is M·A·C’s most advanced liquid lipstick to date, engineered for people who need their lip color to stay put through literally everything.It utilizes proprietary 24-hour Pigment Lock Technology—an ultra-fine network of flexible pigments that move with your lips rather than cracking or flaking.Key Features & Benefits24-Hour Staying Power: Truly waterproof, kiss-proof, and transfer-resistant. It doesn't budge once it sets.Weightless Feel: Unlike heavy liquid lipsticks of the past, this formula is oxygen-infused to feel "naked." It’s incredibly thin but packs massive pigment.Matte but Nourishing: It’s enriched with passion fruit oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. This provides a "conditioned" feel that avoids the tight, dry sensation typical of long-wear mattes.Precision Applicator: Features a slanted, tapered tip that allows you to line and fill with expert control—no separate lip liner required unless you want extra dimension.The FinishIt dries down to a sophisticated, velvety matte finish. While it is high-coverage, the texture is so fluid that it mimics the natural texture of the skin rather than looking like a thick layer of paint.Application StrategyPrep: Because this is a long-wear formula, ensure lips are exfoliated and dry. Avoid applying heavy lip balm immediately before, as the oils can interfere with the "lock."Apply: Use the precision tip to outline the lips first, then fill in the center using the flat side of the applicator.The "Golden Rule": Wait about 30 to 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. This allows the Pigment Lock Technology to fully set.Removal: Since it's waterproof, you'll need an oil-based cleanser (like M·A·C’s Hyper Real Fresh Canvas Cleansing Oil) to take it off at the end of the day.Comparison: Locked Kiss Ink vs. M·A·CximalFeatureLocked Kiss InkM·A·Cximal Silky MatteFormatLiquid LipstickTraditional BulletWear Time24 Hours12 HoursTransferZero (Transfer-proof)Minimal (Transfer-resistant)FeelWeightless/ThinCreamy/Silky
