Earlier this year, I wrote about my obsession with NYX's Slim Lip Pencil.
It totally changed my mind about lip liners, and I've continued to wear it pretty frequently. I don’t just use it for the perimeter of my lips; I use it in place of lipstick. First, I follow my lip line all the way around, then fill everything in with a light-ish layer of the same pencil. Then, I smear some Vaseline on top of the whole situation before going back in with the pencil to even it all out.
Recently, even though I love NYX's version, my wallet and I were called to try another cult-favorite lip pencil: The Lip Pencil from MAC Cosmetics.
Here's the great news: The two products, despite their $14 difference, are virtually indistinguishable from one another. Seriously, we're talking the same smooth application, long wear and high pigmentation from both pencils.
