MAC describes this shade as “Underground Pink”. Not sure what that means. I’d say this is a warm pinkish beige flesh toned lip pencil.
Shop MAC Cosmetics’ Lip Pencil at Sephora. This pencil in a wide range of colors is designed for shaping, lining, or filling in lips. MAC lip liner dupes. We both love MAC lip liners. The colours are great, they’re very long wearing and the pencils themselves are very long (neither of us has managed to use up a full pencil yet), but at €16.50 a pop, they’re a tad pricey. We’ve found some great dupes for them at a fraction of the price. MAC Lipstick in Please Me — a rosy pink. MAC Lipstick in Myth — a pale peachy beige. MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam V — a shimmery pink. MAC Lipglass in Nympehtte — a shimmery golden pink. Subculture is a member of MAC’s permanent collection, and it likes to chill on MAC counters, in stores and at maccosmetics.com. Standouts in MAC’s Lip Pencil line often steal the spotlight (Subculture, Chestnut and Spice spring to mind), but the MAC Cremestick Liners ($14.50 each) also deserve much love.I’ve been obsessively collecting these creamy twist-up lip pencil liners for years, and I think my lips are better for it.
Subculture is my current favorite nude lip pencil – it perfect for light to medium skin tones. It is very versatile. In fact, if I had to rely on just one lip liner – it would be this one. It matches my natural lip color, so I can use it to add volume to my lips. It also helps me use some of the nude lipsticks that are too pale for me. I first fill in my lips with Subculture and then layer these lipsticks to warm up their color to suit my skin tone (I am NC42). It also looks great under neutral lip glosses. It can be worn by itself and topped with some lip balm to create a neutral lip. When it comes to just lining my lips, this lip pencil works with just about any lipstick. It is perfect for giving the lips some subtle definition. I’ve been using this product for years and it has never let me down. I just wish it was creamier though. It is soft and applies evenly but it feels a bit dry on the lips. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful lip liner. Consider this if you’re looking for a versatile nude lip liner.
I couldn’t find this product online for Indian customers. I had bought it directly from the MAC store for Rs 990, but that was a while back. UK customers can buy this product via the MAC UK website for £12.50. US customers can buy this via the Official MAC website for $16.00.
