MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick 3g - Dubonnet

MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick 3g in Dubonnet is a deep burgundy-red with warm, brown undertones — a versatile wine-red that flatters a wide range of skin tones. The Amplified formula delivers nearly opaque pigment in a single swipe, with a creamy, semi-lustrous finish that sits on the lips like a glossy balm rather than a flat-matte coat.

About MAC

MAC Cosmetics was founded in Toronto in 1984 by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo as a make-up line built for professional artists working in fashion, film and TV. Now part of The Estée Lauder Companies, MAC remains synonymous with high-quality colour cosmetics, an inclusive shade range, and lipstick formulas — including the bestselling Amplified Creme line — that have become artist-kit essentials worldwide.

Key features

• Amplified Creme finish — semi-lustrous, between cream and satin, with a polished sheen but no obvious shimmer
• Near-opaque single-swipe pigment — bold colour payoff without the need for layering
• Creamy, hydrating texture — feels comfortable rather than dry, with a glossy balm-like sensation on the lips
• Smooth glide-on application — light-medium consistency that distributes evenly
• Iconic black bullet — MAC's instantly recognisable case

Shade

Dubonnet is a deep, wine-red with a warm brown undertone — described by MAC as a "deepened claret." The slight brown lean makes it surprisingly universal across skin tones, particularly stunning on warm and neutral undertones. A classic autumn-winter shade that pairs beautifully with smoky eyes and tailored dressing.

Who it's for

Dubonnet suits anyone who wants a polished, grown-up wine red with everyday wearability rather than a fire-engine bright. It pairs naturally with autumn dressing, evening occasions and dressed-up workdays. Equally at home in professional makeup kits and in personal collections of red-lipstick enthusiasts.

How to apply

1. Exfoliate lips lightly to remove flakiness, then apply a thin layer of balm and blot
2. Line the lips with a complementary wine or warm-red pencil to define the shape and prevent feathering
3. Apply Dubonnet directly from the bullet, working from the centre of the lips outwards
4. Press lips together to distribute, blot with a tissue and reapply for longer wear
