BEFORE LIPSTICK:
To naturally define lips, start by outlining the Cupid's bow. Then, switch to the outer corners of upper lips and draw inward until you connect the lines at the centre.
To enhance your lips and create a fuller-looking effect, trace along your upper lip line while gradually overlining beyond the natural border of your lips.
To create a contoured lip look, choose a shade deeper than your Lipstick to outline lips. Then, fill in the centre of lips with the lighter Lipstick, slightly overlapping with your liner. Blend with a 316S Brush to create a natural-looking gradient.
AFTER LIPSTICK:
To add extra definition, line lips after applying your Lipstick.
WITH LIPGLASS
Outline or fill in lips completely, then layer on Lipglass for a high-shine look.
LINER ONLY:
Shade and fill in lips.

- Q
What lip liner best matches Russian Red lipstick? Thank you! 😊
- Asked by cherrypie
- Official Answer By MACGreat question! For a classic match to Russian Red, we recommend the MAC Lip Pencil in Ruby Woo—a cool red that beautifully complements the rich, blue-red tones of the lipstick. For a smoother, longer-lasting finish, try pairing it with MAC Prep + Prime Lip to prevent feathering and enhance color payoff. Pro tip: lightly fill in the lips with the pencil before applying lipstick to boost wear time and create a bold, defined look.Was this answer helpful to you

Stone is back?!?!?! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I came on the site today to reorder a lipstick that had run low, and decided to check my "Favorites" list to see if there was anything there that I needed. And lo and behold an old friend reappeared - Stone lip pencil. I thought I must be seeing things. But no, it's there. And it's not marked as a l...

PRODUCT HAS CHANGED
I've been buying the MAC lip pencil in Stripdown for over ten years. It's the only product I use to line and fill in my lips. The color closely matches my natural lip color and every pencil I've purchased through the years has never varied in color or consistency, its always been exactly the same. I...

Comments about Cool Spice
I've tried so many lip liners over the years, but MAC Cool Spice has completely won me over. It's the perfect blend of mauve and rose with just enough warmth to feel natural—but not too brown or too pink. It looks like my natural lip color, just a bit more defined and polished. I use it literally every day—sometimes on its own with a little balm for a low-effort "your lips but better" look, or I'll fill in my whole lips and top with a nude gloss if I want something more pulled together. It glides on smoothly, doesn't tug, and somehow manages to stay put through coffee and casual snacking (which is saying a lot!). What I love most is that it doesn't scream "lip liner." It enhances my lips in a way that looks super natural, like I just happen to have perfectly shaped, slightly fuller lips. It's low-maintenance, flattering on my medium skin tone, and has officially earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. Highly recommend this if you want that effortless, soft-lip look without overdoing it. Total holy grail.

Comments about Plum
High quality pencil. The color appeared much more red than plum on my fair, cool-olive skin.
