The MAC Lip Pencil in Pink is engineered for high performance, providing a foundation for diverse lip looks. Its smooth texture is key to its versatility.
Prepare Lips: Ensure lips are clean and moisturized for the smoothest application.
Outline: Starting from the Cupid's bow, carefully draw a line following your natural lip contour. For a fuller look, you can slightly overline the Cupid's bow and the center of the bottom lip.
Connect Corners: Extend the line from the Cupid's bow towards the outer corners of your mouth.
Define Bottom Lip: Line the center of your bottom lip, then connect to the outer corners.
Create a Base: After lining, gently fill in your entire lips with the pencil. This creates an adhesive base for your lipstick, preventing it from fading or feathering.
Layer: Apply your chosen MAC Lipstick or Lipglass over the pencil. The pencil's color will subtly enhance or adjust the final lipstick shade.
For a soft, matte finish, simply fill in your entire lips with the pencil. The creamy formula is comfortable enough for standalone wear. The 'Magenta' shade (pink-purple) is particularly vibrant on its own.
Carefully outline just outside your natural lip line, focusing on the Cupid's bow and the fullest part of your bottom lip. Blend inwards slightly before applying lipstick or gloss to seamlessly merge the liner with your natural lip color.
Your MAC Lip Pencil comes ready to use. For optimal precision, ensure the tip is pointed. If the tip becomes dull during use, it will need to be sharpened.
Lip Products: This lip pencil is designed to complement all M·A·C lip colors, including Lipsticks and Lipglass. It can be paired with shades from the same 'Pink' color family or used to create contrast with other shades.
Standalone Use: The pencil can also be worn entirely on its own for a matte, defined lip look.
Sharpening: To maintain a precise tip for accurate application, regularly sharpen your lip pencil using a cosmetic sharpener. Gently turn the pencil in the sharpener to avoid breakage. Keep the sharpener clean.
Storage: Store the lip pencil with its cap securely on to prevent the tip from drying out, breaking, or collecting debris. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Hygiene: For best hygiene, avoid sharing your lip pencil with others. Due to its direct contact with the lips, the product is non-returnable for hygiene reasons.
