MAC lip pencils, not to be confused with the cremestick liners (which are creamier and retractable), are great additions to any artist or consumer's makeup kit. Not only do they come in a wide variety of colors, they also have great staying power. I recommend using it in place of lipstick as it stays on longer. Apply a think layer of your favorite gloss, and you're good to go. You can also blend them in with your favorite lipstick to create your own custom look.
