This is a continuation of my posts on lip pencils / liners that I love. There was no way that MAC couldn't get a mention. However, whilst getting the photos together for this series I started to change my mind and want to include other pencils swatches, not necessarily my favorite but shades I struggled to find swatches on the internet on dark brown women. Confession time - I quickly became lazy and so swatched the reds below quickly.
Chestnut is a must for every dark black woman as it is an excellent shade of brown, pigmented to the gods and blends in perfectly with any lipstick or gloss.
Magenta I like to wear alone as I adore the blue purple shade.
Nightmoth - she is my b***h right here! I love the vampy, deep purple shade and her ability to switch up my pinks, reds and purple lipsticks alike.
Ruby Woo is a hard one as I hate the dryness of the lipstick and so refused to purchase it (I go through phases where I go in store to purchase it but leave with something else). I bought this shade to try and circumvent the lipstick and am disappointed as it is not as pigmented as I expected and find that it drags when applying it. Nice blue- red tone but I will not be repurchasing.
The price point for the lip pencils is an issue, specifically as there are comparable (credible) dupes by other brands (NYX), however the pigmentation on some of the shades such as Chestnut have me running back for a repurchase.
What are your favourite MAC lip pencils? Let me know as I need to expand my collection.
