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.

Key Features

• Precise, creamy formula delivers smooth, even color with minimal tug on the skin.
• Fine, tapered tip for clean edges and accurate lip contouring.
• Long-wearing color helps lipstick last longer and reduces feathering for a neater lip line.
• Versatile application can be worn alone as a natural nude lip or used to outline and intensify your lipstick look.
• Buildable intensity allows you to layer for a deeper nude or a soft, everyday nude finish.
• Pairing versatility complements a wide range of lip colors—from sheer glosses to bold lip shades.

How to Use

• Prep lips with a gentle exfoliation and light moisturizer to create a smooth base.
• Outline the lips starting at the Cupid’s bow and trace along the natural lip line to define shape.
• Lightly fill the lips with the pencil to establish a base that enhances color longevity.
• Apply your chosen lipstick or gloss on top, or wear the pencil alone for a polished nude look.
• For crisper edges, steady your hand and use short, deliberate strokes rather than dragging the pencil across the lips.
• Touch up as needed throughout the day to maintain precise definition and even wear.
