As I went through my makeup, I realized that for high end makeup, M.A.C could easily be considered my favorite/most used brand. However for drugstore makeup NYX is one of my favorites…in my world they’re facing competition from L’Oreal and Maybelline as a result of availability, or lack thereof. Here in Canada, I’ve been only been able to easily find NYX in Rexall and PharmaPlus (yes I know that some beauty supply stores may have it but the keyword here is easily*). I figured that since both are good brands, I’d do a few posts comparing some of their products.
NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Nude Beige and Pinky
In 2012, I found NYX Slim Lip Pencil in a beauty supply store in Jamaica, so I grabbed an orange liner as well as the shade 835 Pinky. Pinky, as you probably guessed is a hot pink shade. Personally…I find that it doesn’t really do much for me because I’m actually not a big fan of pink lips on myself. I received the shade 857 Nude Beige in December from my friend, and this is the perfect nude lipliner for us NC45 girls. It works perfectly with any pink lipstick you might have that’s a bit too light, or sometimes I use it to fill in my entire lip and then go over it with a shimmery beige gloss.

The texture is fine, but I find it doesn’t always go on as smoothly as the MAC lip pencil. With regards to how long it lasts on the lips, it lasts for the usual lip pencil time (i.e. it will begin to fade after you’ve eaten). That being said, for about 5CDN these aren’t a bad buy if you’re new to lip pencils or want to try a few new colours.

M.A.C Lip Liner in Currant
I had been wanting this particular lip liner since last year. I needed it to go with Cyber (my fave) because I’m that girl who wears dark lipstick all year round. Yup, the same girl who would always have people tell her that Cyber is too dark and that it looks like ‘dark, demon lipstick’…but I digress. I finally bought Currant in April this year – it was an impulse purchase actually, because I knew I could always return it. Needless to say, I haven’t returned it and I’m so glad I finally bought it! It works perfectly with MAC’s Cyber, Revlon’s Black Cherry(click to read)and I’ve also been using it to deepen up Maybelline’s Hot Plum(click to read).
It applies so smoothly and the deep plum shade is just gorgeous! (yes that’s my bias towards anything deep purple coming out shamelessly). The thing is – and I say this about almost any pricey cosmetic product, since it’s 20CDN for the lip pencil you have to really make it work for you. That’s why I’ve been trying it with all the lip colours that I own, because you want to know you’re getting the most for your 20CDN.
(I left the lip liners a bit messy – I didn’t bother sharpening them, because I wanted to give a better idea of how the colour would appear)
Tal’s Take on Things
Mac Cyber World Lip Liner Dupe
Both lip pencils work well, but here’s the catch. If you buy the MAC lip pencil, you’ll be able to have a MAC artist or sales associate show you which colours it can work with, and you can return it if you don’t like it. Illustrator cs5 for mac. The NYX lip pencil cannot be returned, unless it’s unused. Kasper for mac. You’ll also have to figure out on your own which colours work with the NYX lip pencil that you purchase.
