MAC Powder Kiss Teddy 2.0 – Sweet, Matte Lipstick That Feels Like Cream
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been using MAC Powder Kiss Teddy 2.0 non‑stop, and not gonna lie—it’s become my go‑to shade. The formula feels like a creamy balm at first, then sets to a soft matte that holds up through coffee runs and Zoom calls. I picked it up at the MAC counter in Dubai Mall, where the sales associate spoke Russian, which made shopping a breeze. Yeah, it’s more expensive than buying it overseas, but the sleek packaging and wear give it solid value for money. Below’s the lowdown on what I love and what could be better.

What is the finish of MAC Powder Kiss Teddy 2.0?
It delivers a creamy‑matte finish that feels soft on the lips but dries down to a velvety matte that lasts for several hours.
How long does Teddy 2.0 stay on without touch‑ups?
On average it holds up for 5–6 hours, depending on eating, drinking, and how oily your lips are.
Is the Teddy 2.0 shade suitable for everyday wear?
Absolutely. The soft pink is neutral enough for work, yet playful enough for evenings out, making it a versatile everyday color.
Does the formula feel drying?
It starts off creamy and hydrating, but after a few hours it can feel a bit drying on very dry lips, so a quick lip balm underneath helps.
How does the packaging compare to other MAC lipsticks?
The tube is sturdier and more polished than the standard MAC lipstick, giving it a premium feel that justifies part of the price.
Can I buy MAC Powder Kiss Teddy 2.0 online and get it shipped to my country?
Yes, MAC ships internationally, but be aware that shipping fees and local taxes can add to the overall cost.
Is the Teddy 2.0 shade true to the swatch in store?
The in‑store swatch is reliable; the actual lipstick matches the soft pink hue shown on the tester.
How does the price of Teddy 2.0 compare to buying it overseas?
In Dubai the lipstick runs about 3,200 ₽, which is noticeably higher than the price you might find on overseas sites, but the local packaging and support are included.
What kind of customer support does MAC offer for lipstick issues?
MAC provides a helpful return policy and responsive customer service, especially at flagship stores like the Dubai Mall counter.
