HELP! Sticker worn off fave mac shade :(

The only things I'd say is that the stores will have the newish Macximal lipsticks. So hopefully OP runs into a seasoned MAC rep who might be able to lead her in the right direction. Also, a lot of the shades of the same name have been reformulated and may not look the same as they used to.

The shade looks a lot like Mac cafe mocha (it used to be called just Mocha before they upgraded it)

Mabeline violet vixen is my favorite shade, but the formula is awful and it's also discontinued, is there a better dupe?

MAC MACXimal Silky Matte in Heroine is a comfortable matte purple.

What is your favorite MAC formula?

I bought a Mac lipstick for the first time ever yesterday at Ulta because they are 40% off. It's the macximal sleek satin lipstick. Let me tell you, it lasted for literal hours. I was amazed. I had no idea lipstick could be like this. I haven't tried any of their other formulas, but I can now tell y

Does anybody even shop at MAC Cosmetics anymore?

I do, they usually have a really good back Friday sale and if you spend at least $150 you get a birthday gift. Personally what I don’t like about Mac it’s that’s it’s a little overwhelming and there are a lot of lines. There is some beauty in having a bit more curation in product lines , but instead

What has been your most used colour lip product this year (2025)?

If we’re skipping things I was actively trying to finish, then it would be Mac macximal matte in honeylove. I’ve used it all through the year and I like that’s it’s a beige shade but it’s not a concealer lip. My favorite way to use it lately is with Mac cool spice lip liner and a bit of Nars aftergl

Mac Macximal Matte Shade Extension, plus Minnie & Daisy Collection

I went in-store to swatch and compare the new Macximal Matte shades- Unbothered, Dare Me, Verve Swerve and Hot Girl Pink on bare NC15 skin in artificial lighting. Unbothered is more rosy and darker than Cafe Mocha, which is more peachy. Taupe is more brown. Dare Me is lighter and more coral than For

Faves and Fails Friday

Fave: MAC Verve Swerve in the MACximal Silky Matte formula. The best way I can describe the shade is "mauve for people who can't normally wear mauve", though like most muted shades the exact appearance does vary a bit with the lighting. I'm high-contrast and muted warm, so I'm constantly struggling
