The MAC Lip Liner formula is one of the drier formulas I have tried, but it is still my favorite liner to use. When I use lip liner, it is typically to create a smoother transition between my skin tone and lighter shades of lipstick. Sometimes I’ll use a liner to help a sheer formula last longer, which these liners also work well for. The reason I like these so much for lining is that they blend extremely well with various textures and finishes of lipstick. I’ve never come across a lipstick that didn’t blend well with this formula.
Update June 13, 2025: MAC recently revamped the lip pencils, so I’m unsure if the shades are the same in the new formula.
