With makeup prices creeping up what feels like every season, you know the thrill of spotting a MAC product tucked between the shelves at Marshall’s. On a recent trip, I wandered through the cosmetics section with hope but low expectations. You never really know what you’ll find. And then I saw it: a mini M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick in the iconic shade Dubonnet — and for only $5.99! Into my cart it went.
“Dubonnet” has always been one of those classic MAC shades I’ve admired from afar: rich, bold, and effortlessly sophisticated. In the tube, it’s a deep, warm red with a hint of brown—a perfect fall-winter color, but wearable year-round if you love a vampy lip.
The M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin formula promises smooth, cushiony color without that drying feeling, and even in mini form, the packaging feels luxe. If you’re into bold, warm reds with a satin finish, Dubonnet deserves a spot in your collection. And if you can snag it at a discount? Even better.
Swatches
On the skin, Dubonnet swatches like a dream. One swipe gives you:
• a deep wine-red with warm undertones
• a satiny sheen that catches the light without looking glossy
• rich pigmentation that doesn’t streak or skip
• it’s the kind of color that makes you feel instantly put together — even if you’re just wearing mascara and running errands.
Availability
MAC “Dubonnet” Satin Lipstick is available at Ulta, Nordstrom & Amazon.
