The MAC Pencilled In Collection for Spring 2015 included an assortment of lipliners, lipsticks, and lipglasses that were all made for a match! Yes, that’s right. This collection put an end to the hopeless search of finding a matching lipliner for your lipstick – or vice versa if you’re starting with a lipliner first!

Naturally, I was drawn to one of the most popular lipliners of the bunch, “Edge to Edge.” I use the term popular because it was literally sold out after the initial release on the MAC website – even though they are all permanent colors in the MAC line.

That I had a thin upper lip. If you follow the fullness of your lip, that's the Vermilion border and you can see it where it kind of starts to curve into my actual lip. That's the line that you put your lip liner on grab your lip liner. You make sure it's nice and sharp. I like to do a sketching motion. A lip liner designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Our Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for outlining lips or colouring them in. Available in a wide selection of colours that each work well with many different lipstick shades. Features a smooth and creamy formula.

MAC describes “Edge to Edge” as a dirty bluepink. It’s matching lipstick is MAC’s “Pink Plaid”, which has already been part of the MAC product line for quite some time. Their shade descriptions are exactly the same, which makes it easy to figure out the other lipliner/lipstick matches.

Here are swatches of “Edge to “Edge”:

Aside from being a great color, this lipliner also has amazing pigmentation and was easy to apply. It retails for $16 at MAC counters, MAC online, and other online retailers (see below for direct link).

Best Lip Liner

Seeing as how brown lipsticks are trending right now, I thought I would introduce one of my new favorite lip colors – and compare it to it’s NYX dupe. Most MAC lipliners seem to have a similar color in the NYX line of lipliners, and after doing some research, word on the street is that the NYX liner in ‘Natural’ is a dupe for MAC’s ‘Stripdown’.

Personally, I don’t think these two liners are that close in color. ‘Natural’ is described as a deep-toned beige, while MAC describes ‘Stripdown’ as a creamy brown-beige.

As you’ll see from the above swatch, “Natural” definitely has more warm pink undertones, while ‘Stripdown’ is much more of a browny-beige. Both liners have great pigmentation and a similar creamy texture, making them both easy to apply.

As I’ve said in prior MAC/NYX dupe posts, the biggest difference between them is the price point. MAC lipliners run for $16, while NYX lipliners are only $3.50.
