[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you’re curious about whether MAC lipsticks have their logo embossed, it’s a recent addition with the new MAC MACximal Silky Matte Lipsticks. Unlike traditional mattes, these lipsticks have a satin finish, which is a welcome change for those who prefer a smoother look over a matte finish.

The MAC MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick range includes 40 core shades and 4 Viva Glam shades, which are a mix of original and new shades. While MAC enthusiasts might easily spot the new additions, the standout shade, Ruby Woo, shines in this updated formula.
