The MAC Lip Pencil excels in delivering consistent, high-quality performance for various lip looks. Its creamy formula ensures a smooth laydown of color, making it easy to create sharp lines or fill in the entire lip area as a base.
Typical Uses:
Defining the Lip Line: Use the pencil to trace just outside your natural lip line for a defined edge, preventing lipstick feathering.
Creating a Fuller Look: Slightly over-line your Cupid's bow and the center of your bottom lip. Blend inwards before applying lipstick or gloss for an enhanced, fuller appearance.
As a Lip Base: Fill in your entire lips with the pencil. This creates a solid base that can extend the wear of your lipstick or lipglass and intensify its color.
Wearing Alone: The creamy texture allows for comfortable wear on its own, providing a soft, matte finish.
Customizing Lip Colors: Pair with different M·A·C lipsticks or lipglasses to create unique shades and gradients, adding depth and dimension to your lip look.
Setup:
Using your MAC Lip Pencil is straightforward:
Uncap: Remove the protective cap from the pencil.
Prep Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. You can apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot off any excess.
Apply: Gently outline and/or fill in your lips as desired.
Sharpen: When the tip becomes dull, use a cosmetic sharpener to restore its precision.
Compatibility:
The MAC Lip Pencil is designed to be highly compatible with a wide range of lip products, especially:
M·A·C Lipsticks: Creates a perfect base, enhances definition, and extends wear.
M·A·C Lipglasses: Provides a defined barrier for glosses, preventing bleeding and adding depth.
Other Lip Products: Its versatile formula works well with most lip balms, stains, and liquid lip colors.
Care:
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your lip pencil:
Storage: Store the pencil with its cap on in a cool, dry place to prevent drying out or melting.
Sharpening: Always use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. A dull or inappropriate sharpener can damage the pencil tip or waste product. Clean your sharpener regularly.
Hygiene: For best hygiene, avoid sharing your lip pencil. If used professionally, follow proper sanitization protocols.
