It saddens me so that my HG MAC products are all LE or DC'ed. IMO, this is the perfect nude pink lipliner and I wear it with everything. I've been lucky to snag them off of ebay or get them by swapp...Read more

Test Pattern is a neutral pink shade with a grey/lavender undertone, pretty much as everyone else described in their reviews. I am a PPP w/dark brow hair and blue eyes and this is the perfect lip lin...Read more

I know this is discontinued but this pencil is perfect! It is super light pink with a slight grey/lavender tone which makes it more neutral. I am super fair and I have really pigmented lips. Because o...Read more

This is an amazing liner to tone down red, overlypigmented lips for a more balanced look or to show off your eyes, especially if they're green. Creamy and pigmented. Highly recommended. :)

I love this lipliner for making a pale canvas on my pigmented lips. It's pale enough to make them look naturally light, and is a great base for paler nude lipsticks like Half n Half. The only thing ...Read more

PPP brunette, green eyes. This mauve/nude is the most flattering shade of lipliner for a natural look. Unfortunatly this is LE and is becoming hard to find.

Too purply/mauve to be an effective nude. Also, doesn't glide on smoothly.

Made me look like I had no lips. That's not what I was going for. I love MAC's Stone and Stripdown l/l - but the formula of this one seems to be drier than of the others.

This is a greyer version of Stripdown. Personally it makes my lips look dead and totally washes me out. This might work well for those with really pigmented lips. I'll pass on this one.

I love this color! I used it with lipglass Scent Me and espeically with Nymphette. My lips have a natural lipliner so this tones them down when I use this color.
