The MAC Lip Pencil in Root For Me! offers reliable performance for various lip looks. Its creamy consistency ensures it applies without skipping or pulling, making it easy to create a crisp lip line.
For Defining and Shaping:
Start by outlining your cupid's bow, then connect to the outer corners of your upper lip.
For the lower lip, draw a line from the center outwards to both corners.
Use light, short strokes for a natural look, or a single confident stroke for a bolder line.
For Filling and Extended Wear:
To create a long-lasting base for your lipstick, or to wear the pencil alone for a matte or satin finish, gently fill in your entire lip area after outlining.
This technique helps to prolong the wear of any lipstick applied over it and can provide a more opaque, even color when worn alone.
Real-World Application:
Use Root For Me! to create a defined base for nude or brown lipsticks, ensuring they don't bleed.
Wear it on its own for a sophisticated, subtle brown matte lip that lasts for hours, perfect for everyday wear or a polished evening look.
The pencil's comfortable formula means you can wear it throughout the day without feeling dry or heavy, making it suitable for prolonged events.
Setup:
Remove the cap from the lip pencil.
Ensure the tip is sharpened for precise application. If not, use a cosmetic sharpener.
Compatibility:
This lip pencil is highly compatible with a wide range of lipsticks, lip glosses, and balms. Its creamy formula allows for smooth layering.
It can be paired with similar brown shades for a cohesive look or used to define lips before applying contrasting colors.
Care:
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen your lip pencil using a cosmetic sharpener designed for makeup pencils. This ensures a fine point for clean lines and helps maintain product hygiene.
Storage: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the formula from drying out and to protect the tip.
Temperature: Store the pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its creamy consistency and prevent breakage.
