Although I posted my MAC Lipstick Collection a few weeks back, I thought I'd do a separate post to include my lip pencils and show you swatches of each individual shade, as well as how they look on the lips when worn together.
All my MAC Lip Pencils cost £12.50, and you can buy those here. All my Lipsticks cost £15.50 and you can buy them here.
Spice Lip Pencil
This is a gorgeous caramel-brown nude colour that goes with so many lipsticks I own. The formula is so lovely and creamy but it's waxy enough to do the job. I know a lot of people wear these lip pencils on their own but personally I find them just a tad too dry for that.
Whirl Lip Pencil
I find this a touch drier in texture than the other two. It's a really nice dark brown nude shade with slightly reddy tones.
Soar Lip Pencil
I think this would have to be my favourite lip pencil of the bunch! I would say it has the creamiest formula and it applies like a dream. I also love the dusky-pink shade because it works beautifully with more mauve-toned nude lip colours.
Jubilee Lustre Lipstick
This is quite a sheer 'my lips but better' shade that's more towards brown but definitely has some pinky tones too. Whilst I love it on its own, wearing Spice underneath makes it last longer and just gives that extra bit of pigmentation.
Taupe Matte Lipstick
This does for me what Velvet Teddy does for a lot of others; it's my perfect matte brown-nude lipstick. I'm not sure why it has such a misleading name as it's definitely a warm caramel tone. I love how creamy but long-lasting the formula is too. This again works beautifully with the Spice Lip Pencil for a warm brown nude lip.
Velvet Teddy Matte Lipstick
On its own, this is a like, but not a love for me; I think I just suit slightly darker and warmer colours. However it's great when paired with a lip pencil. If I want to just take it a touch darker and a touch warmer then I'll layer it with Spice. If I want a proper dark brown nude 90s lip then I will layer it with Whirl.
Whirl Lip Pencil
I find this a touch drier in texture than the other two. It's a really nice dark brown nude shade with slightly reddy tones.
Soar Lip Pencil
I think this would have to be my favourite lip pencil of the bunch! I would say it has the creamiest formula and it applies like a dream. I also love the dusky-pink shade because it works beautifully with more mauve-toned nude lip colours.

On its own, this is a like, but not a love for me; I think I just suit slightly darker and warmer colours. However it's great when paired with a lip pencil. If I want to just take it a touch darker and a touch warmer then I'll layer it with Spice. If I want a proper dark brown nude 90s lip then I will layer it with Whirl.
Faux Satin Lipstick*
This is a really nice lighter pink-brown nude and the Satin
finish means it’s pretty similar to a matte but it’s that bit more moisturising
and has a slight sheen. It’s really similar in tone to Velvet Teddy and for the
same reasons I do prefer this with a lip pencil of some sort. I really like to
pair this with Soar in particular as it just deepens the colour a little bit
and makes it more wearable for me.
Twig Satin Lipstick
This was one of my first ever MAC lipsticks and it’s still a
favourite. Again, it has a Satin finish, but this is more of a mauve/dusky pink
colour. Although Soar is more on the pink side of things, they still make a
perfect pairing.
Mehr Matte Lipstick
This is sort of Soar in lipstick form. Although it’s similar
in colour to Twig however it’s more of a deep pink in comparison to Twig’s
mauve undertones. This is one of the nicest, creamiest matte lipsticks I own
and this makes it so easy to wear when I want something between a neutral and a
bright.

Try Chicory Lip pencil if you love nude shades. I prefer wearing MAC lip pencils over lipsticks. I top em off, with clear gloss/chapstick to prevent drying.
ReplyDeleteI do actually have that one :) but I pair it with a more red-toned shade like Chili xx
DeleteYou have this figured out! Can't wait to try some of these combos!
ReplyDeleteEmma | With A City Dream
Love all these shades, I need soar in my life!! its stunning!

ReplyDeleteDanielle's Beauty Blog
Great post! I always mix up my lip colours too! It's a great way to find a shade which is unique to you :) I'm pretty sure I was wearing three different ones the other day hehe :p Lovely shades! www.shehearts.net
ReplyDeleteMehr is in my top 3 Mac lipsticks, such a wearable day-to-day shade! I wish I got on with Velvet Teddy as everyone seems to love it, I just didn't like it on my skin tone at all. x
ReplyDeleteMegan | http://www.meganjean.co.uk
I pretty much only like it layered with a pencil, it's kind of 'meh' on its own for me! xx
DeleteYour winged liner is on point, seriously. Also it looks like you do what I do - gravitate toward similar colors lol (but they're all so different, right?!)
ReplyDeleteZ · HELLOZAUNI.COM
All of these look amazing on you! Mehr is next on my MAC wishlist come payday :)

Love your picture run down of each lip liner + lipstick pairing! Really makes it a useful guide for someone thinking about purchasing any of the products mentioned above. I've got Mehr and obsessed with it! The texture is just the right level of matte that's not too drying. Taupe looks so lovely on you! x
ReplyDeletebohorush.blogspot.com
I know right :) and thank you - if you like Mehr's formula then Taupe is really similar in texture :) xx
DeleteI love this post hun! :) Whirl and Soar are such gorgeous shades - and I agree Soar applies so easily :) I need to get my hands on Faux to team with Soar as I imagine it’d be a gorgeous combo as I love how this looks on you :)
ReplyDeleteCharlee XO | CharmedCharlee
Thank you :) I think Faux would be great for you! xx
DeleteGreat post! Velvet Teddy is one of my favorite lipsticks. Spice & jubilee looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteBoth are amazing and I love them together :) xx
DeleteTwig & Mehr are my total favourites! And you know my feelings about Whirl! Love this nude collection you have built up, I always think MAC are the way to go for nudes, they really get it spot on don't they? :) xx
ReplyDeleteTheir shade selection is amazing, there's definitely a perfect nude in there for everyone :) xx
DeleteAmazing post! I own every one of these except for Jubilee and Faux :) Velvet Teddy is my perfect nude, but for something a bit more brown, I love Taupe. Spirit is also amazing, it's a tad darker that Velvet Teddy, so it might work for you :) xx

I've not come across that one, will have to check it out. Thanks :) xx
