As i now have quite a large lipstick obsession i figured it would be a good idea to start expanding my lip liner collection too – so welcome the MAC Subculture lip liner!
I’ve been finding myself reaching for more subtle makeup a lot more recently (see my previous blusher post) for some reason. I think it may be because January is quite a quiet, chilled out month compared to the party-filled hustle and bustle of December, and my outfits, makeup and nails tend to subconsciously reflect that. But this product, although subtle and neutral is one that i’ll be using all year round, a real makeup case staple for me.
MAC’s Lip Pencil shapes, lines, and fills lips in a variety of fun colors. It has a smooth and creamy texture that applies quickly and evenly without dragging or skipping. These pencils work with many similarly-colored lipsticks of any finish. This lip pencil provides exactly that. I love my Mac lip pencils. Janell from Choctaw, OK. I have used Mac pencils for years after trying many brands. Lots of color choices and long lasting. Can from Arizona. I'm all about a low end dupe but with lip liners, Mac lip liners are so different in consistency and quality! MAC Subculture Lip Pencil MAC Subculture is a moderately warm-toned, very dark peach with a matte finish. It is a lip liner that is permanent in this palette: Look in a Box: Pretty Natural.

I love MAC lipsticks, and my collection of them is ever growing so i decided to try out their lip liners too when my old nude colour ran out. Subculture is lovely browny nude which is a very subtle but perfect ‘my lips but better’ liner shade. I have quite a small top lip so this liner is great for making it look a little bigger and balancing it out with my bottom. By carefully over-lining my top lip a little and filling everything in with the side of this pencil I find it gives my lips a really nice natural look on it’s own with just a little bit of lip balm. It does also help my lipsticks stay on that little bit longer too, and as it’s a neutral colour it goes with most of them – although ideally you’re meant to match the colours.
The pencil itself is obviously very good quality and seems a little longer than most – not sure if it is or if that’s me trying to justify spending £11.50 on a lip liner, but it looks nice in my makeup case none the less and applies very well. Although they are quite pricey i think i will be investing in a pinky red colour to go with some of my other lippies, but i would be inclined for this price to try and find a shade that will match as many of my lipsticks as possible rather than buying a couple because it could get pretty pricey otherwise! The pigmentation is good though and i really like the look it gives so it’s a thumbs up from me – MAC can do no wrong in my eyes at the moment, I always walk out with something new when I take a look in there!
You can find MAC Subculture lip liner on their website HERE for £11.50!
Do you own any MAC lip liners? What do you think of this subtle shade?

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.
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.
