Welcome to Beautyistic! If you’ve ever wished your lipstick could survive a full day without smudging, fading, or leaving marks on your mask, you’re going to want to stick around. Today, we’re looking at MAC’s Locked Kiss 24 Hour in the shade Vixen, a liquid lipstick designed for women that promises a bold matte finish, 24-hour wear, and a formula that’s kissproof, transfer-proof, and waterproof.
This tiny 0.06 oz tube packs a lot of promises. The formula is weightless, aiming to give you rich color without that heavy or drying feeling you sometimes get from long-wear liquid lipsticks. It’s marketed as smudge- and transfer-resistant, so it’s designed for everyday life—eating, drinking, or wearing a mask. The application wand is standard for a liquid lipstick, meant to help you get precise lines and full coverage in one swipe.
When I first applied Vixen, the texture immediately stood out—it’s smooth, creamy, and surprisingly easy to glide on. Unlike some matte liquids that can feel stiff or settle into fine lines, this one feels lightweight on the lips while still delivering full opacity. Within minutes, it sets to a true matte finish without that uncomfortable tightness. During my testing, I wore it for several hours, had coffee, and even tried a quick lunch bite—it held up remarkably well, staying put without noticeable transfer.
One thing to note is that while the lipstick is long-lasting, removing it at the end of the day requires a proper makeup remover. Standard wipes or a quick splash of water won’t do the trick, which is a small trade-off for a product that really does last.
On the plus side, the shade Vixen is a vibrant, deep red with a slightly cool undertone, which makes it versatile for both day and evening looks. The formula’s lightweight feel, impressive staying power, and true-to-tube pigmentation are real wins. The only minor drawback I noticed is that the finish, like most long-wear mattes, can feel slightly drying after extended wear, so a good lip balm underneath is recommended if you have naturally dry lips.
In terms of value, MAC’s Locked Kiss is positioned at a premium price point, but considering the longevity, pigment payoff, and mask-proof qualities, it’s justified for those looking for a reliable, high-performing liquid lipstick. If you’re seeking alternatives at a lower price, some drugstore long-wear mattes offer similar pigmentation, but most won’t match the full 24-hour wear or the smooth application this one provides.
The packaging feels sturdy and travel-friendly, and the wand allows for precise application, which is always a plus when you’re on the go. MAC has a solid reputation for customer support, so if you run into any issues or need assistance with shades, they’re generally very responsive.
If you’re someone who loves a bold lip that truly lasts and doesn’t want to constantly reapply, Vixen is a standout choice. Is this review helpful to you?
