The MAC Lip Pencil in "Stone" is renowned for its exceptional performance, providing a smooth, consistent application every time. Its creamy formula ensures the pencil glides effortlessly without tugging at the delicate lip skin, making it easy to achieve both sharp, defined lines and a fully filled lip base.
How to Use for Optimal Results:
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure lips are clean and moisturized for the smoothest application. You can gently exfoliate if needed.
Sharpen: For the most precise line, always use a cosmetic sharpener to create a fine point before application.
Outline: Begin by lightly tracing the natural curve of your upper lip, starting from the Cupid's bow and extending outwards. Repeat for the lower lip.
Define or Exaggerate: For a fuller-looking effect, you can subtly draw just outside your natural lip line. For a natural definition, stick strictly to the lip line.
Fill (Optional): To create a long-lasting base for your lipstick or to wear the pencil alone, gently fill in the entire lip area with the pencil. This can also help prevent feathering of lip color.
Combine: Pair with your favorite M·A·C Lipstick or Lipglass for a layered look. The "Stone" shade, a versatile taupe-brown, works beautifully to add subtle depth or a natural contour to a wide range of lip colors.
Real-World Applications:
Everyday Definition: Use "Stone" to naturally enhance your lip shape for a polished, understated look.
Long-Lasting Base: Fill in your entire lip to create a matte, long-wearing base that extends the life of any lipstick applied over it.
Creating Dimension: Apply the pencil to the outer edges of your lips and blend inward before applying a lighter lipstick in the center for an ombre effect.
Preventing Feathering: Line and slightly fill your lips before applying gloss or creamy lipstick to prevent color from bleeding outside the lip line.
Setup:
The MAC Lip Pencil comes pre-sharpened, ready for immediate use. For subsequent applications, you will need a standard cosmetic sharpener to maintain its fine point. Ensure your sharpener has a clean, sharp blade for best results and to prevent product breakage.
Compatibility:
This lip pencil is designed to be highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of lip products.
M·A·C Lipsticks and Lipglass: It is specifically formulated to complement all M·A·C lip colours, allowing for seamless layering and endless custom lip combinations.
Other Lip Products: While optimized for M·A·C products, its smooth formula makes it suitable for use with most other lipstick, lip gloss, and liquid lip formulas to enhance wear and definition.
Standalone Wear: The pencil can be worn entirely on its own for a matte, long-lasting color effect, as a subtle tint, or as a full lip color.
Care:
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen your lip pencil to ensure a precise tip and optimal hygiene. Always use a clean, good-quality cosmetic sharpener.
Storage: Store the lip pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its creamy texture and prevent melting or hardening.
Hygiene: For sanitary reasons, avoid sharing your lip pencil. If used by a makeup artist on multiple clients, ensure proper sanitization techniques are followed (e.g., sharpening off used layer, sanitizing tip with alcohol). Keep the cap on when not in use to protect the tip and prevent contamination.
