These lip liner formulas really surprised me in that I find better value in these higher end brands because the formulas last longer on me and do not need to be reapplied.
MAC is my perfect natural lip color, the Charlotte Tilbury is a bit more on the light brownish-nude side, and the Makeup by Mario is slightly more of a pink neutral on me.
MAC Cosmetics is a brand that has launched countless “must-have” shades. For some reason, I’ve just starting to use more MAC products in the past two years and I wished I had started sooner!
Their Whirl lip liner became iconic when Kylie Jenner said it was her favorite lip liner. I always thought it would be a bit too dark for me and it’s actually the perfect taupe-rose-nude liner shade.
This is one of the few lip liner shades and formulas that I have repurchased. I believe I have bought this three times now.
The Iconic Nude shade really works well with a variety of nude lipsticks. The Pillow Talk Medium is a rosy deeper nude that is a “my lips” shade.
Smokey Pink is another great “my lips” shade that is the most similar shade to MAC Whirl. It’s more of a cool taupe/mauve than a pink.
