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.
