The lip pencil comes in a nice packaging, a thin cardboard box. There are three simple steps to use this. Remove the lip pencil from its cover, open up the cap and apply! My Experience with MAC Plum Lip Pencil. PROPERTIES-Smooth and creamy texture; Light on lips; Too dark and super matte; Suitable for daily use. Lipstick: the iconic product that made MAC famous. Shade, define, and accentuate the lips with hundreds of hues in high-fashion textures. Anyways, here’s my take on the Plum lip pencil from MAC. Lip Pencil- Plum: A pencil designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for lining the lips or filling them in. I ALWAYS use lip liner and I Only use MAC. WHIRL and SOAR are my favorite shades because it goes with anything and looks amazing by itself with some clear lip glass. I've been using MAC for over 20 years. The first thing I tried was their lip pencil. From that first time I haven't used anything else.
The MAC website describes Plum as Potent Reddened Plum. To me it looked more like a mauvy chocolate color till I swatched it. I saw more mauve when I swatched it on my hand but I still saw a lot of brown in it. Finally when I wore it on my lips, I saw why its called Plum. This color is absolutely gorgeous. You’ve got to swatch this one when you are at MAC next time. You’ll love it. I also loved the fact that you can control the intensity of the color that goes onto the lips and that’s what makes this lip liner so versatile – wear it with plums, pinks, browns or just wear it by itself.

Mac Lip Pencil Swatch Plum
This is much softer than the other MAC lip liners I have so it is easy to apply. It is long wearing – it stays on the lips pretty much all day.
Mac Whirl Lip Pencil
Overall this is a great neutral lip liner. I am certainly going to repurchase this unless MAC decides to discontinue it – I always have this deep rooted fear that my favorite products will get discontinued.
I bought this from the MAC store for Rs 990. Price may have gone up now – per MAC a price hike was due back in March. UK customers can buy this directly from the MAC UK website for £12.50. US customers can buy this directly from the MAC US website for $15.00.
