MAC Lip Liners |

MAC Lip Liners, Whirl, Pink Treat, Cherry
MAC lip liners, Whirl, Cherry, Pink Treat
Recently lip liners have become a necessity in many people's make up bags due to everyone lusting after 'Kylie Jenner' lips and trawling the internet for ways to recreate her infamous voluminous lips. Cue a lot of sold out nude lip liners and lip sticks. For me, lip liners were never really seen as an essential, but instead I had visions of myself looking like I'd stepped out of the 90's with pale lips but a well defined, overly done brown lip liner. Over the past couple of months I have caved to the hype and rather than steering away from the skinny looking pencils, I have embraced them and rather to my surprise, I have been loving every minute with them. When on the lookout for the perfect lip liner my first pit stop was MAC, so I thought I would give you the run down of my favourite shades.

MAC - Cherry | Since I've been venturing into red lips, I thought I would add a classic red lip liner to my collection. Cherry has been a shade that has been on my wishlist for many years. This versatile lip liner has quickly become a staple when wearing a red lip, not only can it be used to define your lips making them look fuller, but it can be used on it own to create a matte look.The waxy textured formula remains long lasting on the lips, whilst gliding smoothly along the lips without tugging or pulling and preventing feathering or bleeding. 

MAC - Pink TreatI have been looking for a pink, everyday liner to use all over my lips for a while. The Cremestick formula intrigued me as the highly pigmented, creamy formulas are known for their lasting abilities and due to the retractable aspect, there is no need for a sharpener. Bonus. I tend to look past any products that claim to be long lasting as they always seem to let me down, but not with this one. One application lasts around 6-8 hours on the lips depending on what I've been doing. The deep cool pink shade with mauve undertones is perfect for an everyday lip and has quickly become a staple in my make up bag. 

MAC - Whirl | Where do I start with this one? This neutral toned liner can be worn on it's own with lip balm or paired with a nude lipstick (I like MAC Brave) to create voluminous, well defined lips that could give Kylie Jenner a run for her money. The no budge formula is long wearing and I know I'll be wearing this until it's on its last legs. Possible repurchase? Absolutely.

What are your favourite lip liners? Have you tried any MAC shades?

  10. Pink Treat seems like a colour I would like! I've been eyeing on MAC lip liner in Stripdown! Such a pretty brown-nude shade.

  14. I am really loving lip liners at the moment, and I have to agree they never really were an essential item for me either but have come to love them :) Cherry looks gorgeous, as does Pink Treat :) Whirl is definitely one of my favourite lip liners along with Soar and Boldly Bare :)

  18. I've never tried lip liner and my thoughts were the same as yours lol! I just imagine 90s well defined, too dark, lined lips! Maybe I'll have to give it a go.

  20. I've not even thought about venturing into the world of lip liners until now, the thought has been too scary! Mac will definitely be my first stop when I find the courage! 'Cherry' looks amazing :D

  25. Ah, I've been thinking of getting Whirl too, but I still haven't gotten around to it. Do you wear it on its own or do you put lipstick over? I really like the Pink Treat shade too! x

  26. I sometimes wear it on it's own, but normally I put Brave over the top x

  27. Oh, alright! Does it feel weird on its own? I generally don't wear lipliner because of it. Curious to see if this one's different!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've been thinking of getting a Mac liner but don't know if I can justify the price! Are they really drying if you wear them on their own?

  29. Not really. If you wear them with a nourishing lip balm they should be fine xx
