Before Lipstick - Natural Definition:
Begin by outlining the Cupid's bow.
Switch to the outer corners of your upper lips and draw inward, connecting the lines at the center.
Before Lipstick - Fuller-Looking Lips:
Trace along your natural upper lip line.
Gradually overline slightly beyond the natural border of your lips to create the illusion of fullness.
Repeat for the lower lip.
Contoured Lip Look:
Choose a M.A.C Lip Pencil shade that is deeper than your chosen Lipstick.
Outline your lips precisely with the darker pencil.
Fill in the center of your lips with a lighter M.A.C Lipstick, ensuring it slightly overlaps with your liner.
For a natural gradient effect, gently blend the overlapping areas with a M.A.C 316S Brush.
After Lipstick - Added Definition:
Apply your M.A.C Lipstick first.
Carefully line your lips with the pencil to add extra definition and sharpen the edges of your lipstick.
Liner Only - All-Over Color:
Shade and fill in your entire lip area with the M.A.C Lip Pencil.
This provides a matte, long-wearing base or can be worn on its own for a more understated look.
For a high-shine finish, layer M.A.C Lipglass over the filled-in lips.
Always ensure your lip pencil is sharpened for the most precise application. A dull tip can lead to less defined lines.
For longer wear, apply a thin layer of foundation or concealer to your lips before applying the pencil.
If using as an all-over color, gently blot with a tissue after application to enhance longevity.
Experiment with different shades of M.A.C Lip Pencil to find your perfect match for defining and contouring various M.A.C Lipsticks and Lipglasses.
The M.A.C Lip Pencil is a sharpenable pencil. For optimal precision:
Use a cosmetic pencil sharpener designed for makeup pencils.
Gently insert the pencil and twist until a sharp, precise tip is achieved.
Remove any shavings carefully.
This lip pencil is designed to complement all M.A.C lip colors, including M.A.C Lipsticks and M.A.C Lipglasses.
It can be worn effectively on its own for a matte, long-wearing lip.
Storage: Store your M.A.C Lip Pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent melting or hardening.
Cleaning: If the pencil casing gets dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid getting water directly on the pencil tip.
Sharpening: Sharpen regularly to maintain hygiene and precision. Clean your pencil sharpener after each use to prevent product buildup.
