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