MAC Follow Your Heart Lip Pencil Review Swatches – Pencilled In Collection

MAC Follow Your Heart Lip Pencil (Rs 1400)MAC follow ur heart Lip Pencil Review Swatches Photos - PENCILLED IN COLLECTION (4)

Shade: MAC Follow Your Heart is a true red, bright and happy with a little bit of pink undertones, according to me it is warm toned, but honestly I can’t really figure out, sometimes it does tend a little blue-red on me, but most of the times, I find it to be  a bright slightly warm toned HAPPY red. (yes I mention happy every time because I don’t find it to be  a serious red like ruby woo). You can also check out the review of MAC Nightingale Lip Pencil from the same collection.

Texture: MAC has finally reformulated the texture of their lip pencils, they are now creamy, and glide on super easily without having to tug or pull on the lips, these don’t settle into the lip lines, and feels non-drying on the lips even after long hours of wear. I am a happy bunny. Lip pencils, are so my thing, and MAC is one my favourite brands for them, and when the texture is so nice, I am falling.MAC follow ur heart Lip Pencil Review Swatches Photos - PENCILLED IN COLLECTION (1)

Pigmentation –  MAC Follow Your Heart is  opaque in a single swipe, but it’s not slippery at all, so you have control and precision,  but at the same time its  smooth., a little prior prepping up the lips would make the application even better, but it is advised to try on shades before buying as a few of them are a little dry.MAC follow ur heart Lip Pencil Review Swatches Photos - PENCILLED IN COLLECTION (3)

Packaging – The packaging is classic, a wooden pencil plain black, and it is a sharpening pencil, these has  colour coded bottom, even though it’s a wooden pencil and some people might find it fussy , but truth is we get way more product in sharpening pencils than the mechanical ones.

Staying power- this is the best part, I love how this lip pencil stays on really long without any uneven fading or drying out my lips, it stayed on for almost 6 hours. These lip pencils, legit feel like the liquid matte lipsticks, so long wearing. Even after the actual lip pencil wore off, the amazing and very strong stain that it left behind stayed for another hour.

Overall Thoughts

I am in absolute love of how these lip pencils give a flawless, non patchy opaque finish like the liquid matte lipsticks. I have picked 3 shades from this collection, and I plan to get 1 or 2 more at least, like the more neutral colours, since their texture is more smooth than the lip pencils that MAC had in the regular line earlier, it makes the application a dream. I never use MAC Follow Your Heart lip pencil to shape, our outline my lips, rather I just slap it on whole of my lips, but if you are someone who loves to shape your lips, these pencils are just perfect for you, as they have a very precise and smooth application. Overall I would say that if you are a matte lip lover like me, these guys are a sure pick me up.!! Just the price is a little ouch, I mean hello MAC, 1400 for a lip pencil (frustrated face).

Ratings – 5/5
