Finding A Lip Liner For Mac

In my experience, no one likes paying full price for anything, which is prcisely why we often find ourselves on the lookout for. Because many drugstore brands are under the same corporate umbrella of a few major beauty companies, the liquid foundation you find in a fancy department store might have the same exact ingredients in it as the one in the drugstore. So who would want to pay full price for a designer item when you can drive down the block and grab basically the same thing at a fraction of the price? I'll tell you: no one.Unless, of course, you're dedicated to a luxury brand or high street makeup or skincare item because you're convinced it has magical properties and you can't physically live without it. But if you're not necessarily attached to anything in your makeup bag or on your vanity, finding makeup dupes might just become your new hobby. It happened to me, anyway.I am a huge fan of makeup and like researching new items to expand my collection, whilst getting the best bang for my buck. During my Internet escapades, I one day came across the Instagram account, and my life changed forever.

The account posts swatches and product reviews with almost every post. And not to mention, amazing, nearly spot-on dupes. When last week, they sold out within hours. But have no fear, @dupethat knows exactly the cure to your woes. As you can see, the NYX Butter Lipstick in 'Licorice' is nearly the same exact color and for $24 less. So, see: You get all that from the comfort of your own Instagram feed!In an effort to make your wallet and your makeup collection smile, here are nine nearly spot-on drugstore dupes that will help you start those spring savings just a little sooner. NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo Vs.

ELF Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder. $42, $7,Some people swear by NARS' 'Orgasm' blush and Laguna Bronzer, and obviously, it's a great product! But ELF's version has almost the same consistently and shades in a package that even looks similar to a NARS product. The major difference here is the price, though. The NARS duo sells for $42, while ELF's version goes for a whopping $3!

If you're an avid NARS fan, you may want to try out ELF's product before you completely make a switch. But if you're just looking for a new blush/bronzer duo, ELF might be the answer to your prayers. MAC Russian Red Lipstick Vs. Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Moss In 01. $17, $4,It's impossible not to fall in love with MAC's lipsticks.

There are so many, and they are so pretty. There's basically a shade and texture for everyone on the planet! But sometimes you just can't afford them (cry!).

They retail around $16, and while that's modest compared to some other luxury brands, it's much higher than most drugstore ones, including Rimmel.Rimmel's Kate Moss collection features a blue-hued red indistinguishable from MAC's Russian Red, for a third of the price! MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Vs. Wet N Wild Don't Blink Pink. $25, $6,Diorshow Mascara, another one of those cult beauty products, is basically magic in a bottle. I have used it before, and I absolutely love it.

It makes my lashes look long, without getting too heavy or flaking on me. But I just cannot bring myself to buy it every month because of its $25 price tag.Good thing L'Oreal has a nearly identical dupe in its Voluminous Mascara. The wands are almost exactly alike, fuzzy and round, and have a very similar consistency that will lengthen and add volume to your lashes. All for just $8. MAC Fluidline Vs. Maybelline Lasting Drama Eyeliner.

$16, $8,When it comes to eyeliner, everyone has their preference, and color, texture, and consistency are all major factors in perfecting that cat eye wing — so it's best not to mess with anyone and their favorites.But vloggers rave on about how Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama eyeliner is equal if not better to MAC's Fluidline eyeliner in 'Blacktrack.' Both in pure black, smooth, and long-lasting, these gel eyeliners are very comparable — except for the $6 price difference. For eyeliner fans, this dupe might be something to look into. The Balm's Mary Lou-Manizer Vs. Coastal Scents's Hot Pot in Flesh Tone.

$16, $2,This highlighter frequently shows up on beauty vloggers' channels, and clearly creates a beautiful sheen and highlight on the high points of the face.

Even though the Coastal Scents version is an eyeshadow, it does the same job. Makeup Forever HD Powder Vs. ELF High Definition Powder, $35, $6,When it comes to translucent powders, because they're, well, translucent, only you will know the difference.

That being said, it's a fool-proof product to set your makeup and avoid shine throughout the day — which means it's gotta be good.While Makeup Forever's product gets rave reviews, it's $32. ELF's version is much more affordable at only $3, and also guarantees the same results. Stila Lipglaze In Apricot Vs.

ELF Hypershine Gloss In 'Flirt'.

A pencil designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for outlining lips or colouring them in. They are available in a wide selection of colours that each work well with many different lipstick shades.

1. Le Metier de Beaute Dualistic Lip Pencil in Nudite is a medium pinky brown creamy lip pencil, this one glides on the lips easily and is very pigmented, it has a smooth texture
2. H&M Lip Liner in Au Naturel is included in the roundup because it’s a new one and the perfect neutral nude color and at $5.99 I couldn’t resist ordering it, on bare lips it’s a disaster for me, you definitely need to prep the lips with a bit of lip balm or primer, this is borderline too pale, but it works
3. MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Cultured is new to me, it’s a long-wear mauvey nude pink
4. MAC Lip Pencil in Subculture is my perfect nude pink, it has reached holy grail status for me, I’ve gone through 4 of them in my life, it’s the best light pink nude that is still wearable
5. MAC Lip Pencil in Oak is a classic light flesh nude, it’s a classic for me because it has no orange undertone in it but doesn’t make me look dead, unfortunately I think it might be on the discontinue list – the only place I could find it was on Bloomingdale’s so I ordered 3 backups
6. MAC Lip Pencil in Stripdown is another good true flesh nude, it’s brown in undertone and slightly warmer than Oak, it’s a good one but I know many find it too brown/grey
7. MAC Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare comes second to my favorite Subculture, it’s what I wanted Spice to always be, Boldly Bare is the perfect pinky warm medium nude that works wonders with pale lip colors and glosses
8. MAC Lip Pencil in Spice is a cult classic that was so popular when I was in high school, every cool girl owned it, on me it was always so brown and pulled orangey on my lips even though it swatches more neutral, I still use and wear it to tweak lip colors, it’s just not my favorite
9. MAC Lip Pencil in Dervish isn’t really a nude, it’s more of a neutral medium rosy pink, but it falls into the neutral category for me, it’s a classic staple I think everyone should try
10. MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl is another really good nude, it pulls more mauvey nude rose which I adore, the cool tones prevents it from looking orange or brown on my lips, it has enough depth to really define the lips perfectly
11. MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Double-Time is a neutral medium warm brown-pink-nude, this lasts all day without budging
12. MAC Lip Pencil in Soar is a medium to dark pink, it’s a bit darker and deeper on me than the traditional neutral, if you have deeper skin or deeper lips, this will probably pull more neutral on you than it does on me
13. MAC Lip Pencil in Hover is another deeper neutral, it’s one of the deepest neutrals I own
14. MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish almost matches Subculture but it’s slightly deeper and has a more pigmented finish
15. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Re-Size and Re-Shape Lip Liner in Iconic Nude is my perfect true nude in the sense that it’s a flesh-toned beige nude, this is a classic pigmented pencil that I think might be a universally flattering color
16. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Re-Size and Re-Shape Lip Liner in Pillow Talk is a classic rosy pink neutral, this one goes well with a lot of the Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks like Bitch Perfect, Confession, Penelope Pink etc.
17. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Re-Size and Re-Shape Lip Liner in Pink Venus is a warm peachy pink, the color warms up the lips and adds life to the face
18. Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Natural is a classic light neutral pink nude beige, if you’re looking for the perfect beige pink nude, this is it, compared to other formulas Chanel can tug on the lips a little, but they aren’t drying
19. Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Beige Satin is one of the lightest colors I own, it’s borderline too pale for me, but I like mixing it with beige and nude lipsticks
20. Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Beige Innocent is another pale pearly lip pencil from Chanel, it’s almost identical to Beige Satin but slightly lighter
21. Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Nude is a cult classic that has been used on me for every single Chanel makeover I’ve had, it’s always seemed to be darker than what I envisioned a nude to be, but it’s almost magical – artists have used this with every lip color imaginable from red, pink, coral, beige, peach – this somehow transforms and defines lip colors in the most amazing way
22. Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Naked is light baby pink neutral, it looks super light on me, but when I blend it out, it evens out the lip tone
23. Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Chestnut is another cult classic that is super popular, it’s always recommended for the lipsticks I look at when shopping at the counter, it’s a mauvey warm neutral
24. Marc Jacobs Beauty (P)Outliner Lip Pencil in Honey(bun) is a super pigmented creamy twist up lip pencil, all three shades of the (P)Outliner are reviewed here, Honey(bun) is a neutral bright peachy color
25. Marc Jacobs Beauty (P)Outliner Lip Pencil in Prim(rose) is a rosey pink brown neutral
26. Marc Jacobs Beauty (P)Outliner Lip Pencil in Nude(ist) is a beige brown nude
27. Edward Bess Defining Lip Liner in Natural is in my top picks for lip pencil formula, it comes in a sleek twist up tube and mine have never dried out, I’ve gone through several pencils, it’s a great go-with-everything kind of neutral, texture is smooth and doesn’t tug the lips
28. Nudestix Lip & Cheek Pencil in Soul is one of the few chubby pencils I really really like. I own a number of chubby sticks from different brands but always find them a pain to sharpen (they always get so messy). Nudestix has a wide number of great nudes, Soul is my perfect warm peach nude (swatched on lips here)
