I like wearing it as a base for my lipstick, or simply applied lightly on the outline of my lips and blended in. So, I wouldn't wear it on it's own (or this shade anyway). They dry down to a budge-proof matte finish.Īlone on the lips, the pencil makes my lips look dry and crackled, as the formula really "clings" to the lips. The liner doesn't tug or pull at the lips - just smooth sailing. They are no doubt creamy and glide easily across the lips. The formula of these pencils are pretty nice. I became curious about their Pro Longwear line of lip pencils that launched late last year, as often times I only apply my liner in the morning and it's gone within a couple of hours, so finding a lip liner that will last me for several hours would be wonderful! It's pretty much the major brand I use, with Oak, Stripdown and Subculture being my go-to shades. I do love lip liner though, especially MAC Lip Pencils.

I suppose it's mainly a convenience thing - I like a simple daily routine, and most of the time I just apply what I find is necessary. Lip liner is one of those things that I neglect to use every day, even though I prefer the look of my lips with lip liner. MAC Staunchly Stylish Pro Longwear Lip Pencil MAC Staunchly Stylish Pro Longwear Lip Pencil($19.50) is a soft, rosy-beige long-wearing and transfer-proof lip pencil with a creamy, "fluid-like" texture that glides to the lips with rich, saturated color.
