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.

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...

MAC Lip Pencil – Chestnut

Comments about Chestnut
Chestnut is the lip pencil I reach for when I want definition without my lip look feeling overdone. The tone is the perfect deep brown for shaping my lips and slightly contouring the edges while still blending naturally into my lipstick or gloss. I use it constantly with neutral lip colors and even sheer glosses, and it always pulls the look together in a polished way.
MAC Lip Pencil – Cherry

Comments about Cherry
Cherry is one of those classic red lip liners that instantly makes a red lipstick look more precise and polished. I like using it to shape my lips first because the color is bold enough to define the edges without looking harsh. It pairs beautifully with red lipsticks and even works under gloss when I want a softer red look that still has structure. The formula is smooth, easy to control, and it really helps keep red lipstick from feathering.
Don't get dervish!!!
Seems like only dervish has issues when applying. Its super dry and have to push hard to apply. My $10 lip liners are better! Other colors not issue with.
MAC Lip Pencil – Cork

Comments about Cork
Cork has become my go-to when I want a softer, more subtle lip liner than a deep brown. It gives my lips gentle definition without looking harsh, which makes it perfect for everyday looks or when I'm wearing lighter nude lipsticks. I love how easy it is to blend and how naturally it enhances my lip shape.
