Soar is my favorite lip pencil from MAC, it’s a great color for those everyday natural pink lip colors we love to wear. It’s the type of color you can wear with lots of different pink tones. I love to pair Soar with colors from MAC like Mehr, Faux, Brave and Please me. Pretty much any pink that us. Mac Red Lipstick + Brick Lip Liner: This is my favorite classic red. Mac Red has a satin finish and is such a great bold color. I wear it with brick lip liner for a tiny bit of a darker contrast around the edges. Great for parties, the holidays, and if you’re going for a more glamorous look. Lipstick: the iconic product that made MAC famous. Shade, define, and accentuate the lips with hundreds of hues in high-fashion textures.
Auburn lipliner is one of my favourite MAC lip liners! It looks great with red, terracotta, peach and netural shades. Its a liner I use to mix with many different lipsticks. Recently, I've been using Auburn with Ravishing lipstick by MAC - the combination is just so lovely and perfect for both a day and evening look. Ravishing is in the warm coral family and Auburn is a reddish-orange-brown shade, so the mixture of these two shades is perfection on anyone with a warmer skintone. Its also a great 'coral-red' for summer!!!
Seeing as how brown lipsticks are trending right now, I thought I would introduce one of my new favorite lip colors – and compare it to it’s NYX dupe. Most MAC lipliners seem to have a similar color in the NYX line of lipliners, and after doing some research, word on the street is that the NYX liner in ‘Natural’ is a dupe for MAC’s ‘Stripdown’.
Personally, I don’t think these two liners are that close in color. ‘Natural’ is described as a deep-toned beige, while MAC describes ‘Stripdown’ as a creamy brown-beige.
As you’ll see from the above swatch, “Natural” definitely has more warm pink undertones, while ‘Stripdown’ is much more of a browny-beige. Both liners have great pigmentation and a similar creamy texture, making them both easy to apply.
As I’ve said in prior MAC/NYX dupe posts, the biggest difference between them is the price point. MAC lipliners run for $16, while NYX lipliners are only $3.50.
