I prefer to use the pencils for lining my lips instead of all over my lips. I am in my fifties, so this might not occur to someone that is younger. When I applied Follow Your Heart all over my lips, a tiny bit of it seeped into the vertical lines above my lips. The pencils also transfer to drinking glasses. I have been surprised that their longevity was not as good as I had expected even without eating. Some lip pencils can be used in lieu of lipstick (sometimes with a lip gloss over them), so I have tried these lip pencils for this purpose. All three shades have excellent colour payoff. The pencils that I have at the moment are Magenta, Burgundy and Follow Your Heart. I can sharpen the pencils to a sharp point which allows me to get a crisper line around my lips. M.A.C Lip Pencils have a firm texture but they do not feel too scratchy. I prefer lip pencils that you sharpen such as the ones by M.A.C because they are less likely to break. They also last a pretty long time on the lips which is always a bonus, especially when they’re priced at £12.50 each.Many people prefer retractable lip pencils, but I find that most of them crumble and break. They kind of fit into the ‘pink’ lip liner category so I definitely need to branch out and purchase some nudes, browns and definitely a proper red! I love Mac lip liners because they feel so creamy and they really do look the part. So that is my very short and sweet round up of the four Mac lip liners that I own.
I love this shade, it’s a gorgeous deep toned pink that does look quite dramatic on the lips (I would definitely suggest wearing this lip liner alongside a dramatic smokey eye) and I tend to wear this liner all over my lips as the colour is gorgeous by itself! Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for outlining lips or colouring them in. This will definitely be my go-to Summer lip combo this year! A pencil designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Such a cute baby pink lip liner! I bought Hip ‘n’ Happy at the same time that I purchased the lipstick ‘Pink Plaid’, these two are seriously a match made in heaven and look brilliant together. Dervish also looks great by itself as an all over lip colour and, of course, lasts a long time on the lips. I picked up Dervish to go alongside two of my Mac lipsticks – Verve and Twig. This shade is pretty similar to Soar, but is slightly more brown toned. It’s a lovely shade, just not what I was expecting.
Unfortunately, as you can see here, it swatched to more of a pink-red. I do hold my hands up and admit that I thought this was going to be red in colour and I was in desperate need of a red lip liner to go with the red lipstick’s that I own (does anyone else find it extremely difficult to apply red lipstick without a guide line or liner to follow?!).
