Follow Your Heart

MAC Follow Your Heart Lip Pencil ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a rich red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied fairly well; it was drier as it was a lip pencil formula, but it yielded color without having to press hard, and I was able to use the slant of the pencil and get product to transfer evenly. Frankly, it applied quite well all-over color given that it was a traditional lip pencil! This sahde lasted for over six hours, left a faint stain behind, but it was a little drying.

Nevermore

MAC Nevermore Lip Pencil ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a blackened purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was drier and a little stiff, so the liner needed to be applied in short, quick strokes along the edge of the lips for best results. It did not work as well for filling in the lips all-over due to that drier, slightly tacky consistency that tended to result in some patchiness and product that sat in my lip lines. It wore well for over six hours but was drying over time.
