MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Stripdown
MAC Lip Pencil in Shade Stripdown is a precise nude lip liner designed to define, shape, and extend the wear of your favorite lip colors. This versatile pencil delivers a smooth, creamy application that glides effortlessly along the lip line, helping you achieve clean edges, prevent feathering, and create a lasting foundation for lipstick or wear solo for a subtle nude look. Stripdown is a universally flattering nude that pairs beautifully with nude, pink, and mauve tones, making it a staple for everyday makeup and more defined lip silhouettes.
Shade Stripdown is the go-to neutral for creating a natural-looking contour that enhances your lips without appearing harsh. Used alone, it offers a soft, polished finish; layered under or over lipstick, it helps color stay put and fade evenly. The precise tip allows you to trace the lip line with control, making it ideal for crisp corners, defined Cupid’s bow, and a balanced, symmetric shape.
