As i now have quite a large lipstick obsession i figured it would be a good idea to start expanding my lip liner collection too – so welcome the MAC Subculture lip liner!

I’ve been finding myself reaching for more subtle makeup a lot more recently (see my previous blusher post) for some reason. I think it may be because January is quite a quiet, chilled out month compared to the party-filled hustle and bustle of December, and my outfits, makeup and nails tend to subconsciously reflect that. But this product, although subtle and neutral is one that i’ll be using all year round, a real makeup case staple for me.

I love MAC lipsticks, and my collection of them is ever growing so i decided to try out their lip liners too when my old nude colour ran out. Subculture is lovely browny nude which is a very subtle but perfect ‘my lips but better’ liner shade. I have quite a small top lip so this liner is great for making it look a little bigger and balancing it out with my bottom. By carefully over-lining my top lip a little and filling everything in with the side of this pencil I find it gives my lips a really nice natural look on it’s own with just a little bit of lip balm. It does also help my lipsticks stay on that little bit longer too, and as it’s a neutral colour it goes with most of them – although ideally you’re meant to match the colours.

The pencil itself is obviously very good quality and seems a little longer than most – not sure if it is or if that’s me trying to justify spending £11.50 on a lip liner, but it looks nice in my makeup case none the less and applies very well. Although they are quite pricey i think i will be investing in a pinky red colour to go with some of my other lippies, but i would be inclined for this price to try and find a shade that will match as many of my lipsticks as possible rather than buying a couple because it could get pretty pricey otherwise! The pigmentation is good though and i really like the look it gives so it’s a thumbs up from me – MAC can do no wrong in my eyes at the moment, I always walk out with something new when I take a look in there!

You can find MAC Subculture lip liner on their website HERE for £11.50!

What girl doesn’t lust over a makeup bag full of MAC? Here at The Dupe Diaries, we LOVE MAC products but sometimes, you just can’t afford to splash out €20 on a lipstick.

We’ve searched high and low to find some pretty convincing dupes for our favourite MAC nude lipsticks and lipliners (this is The Dupe Diaries, after all).

We’ve photographed our favourite MAC nudes with their dupes. MAC products are on on the lower lip, while we’re wearing the dupes on our top lips.

Sara’s Picks

MAC Faux lipstick €19.50 Vs Essence Cool Nude €2.89

Mac Subculture Lip Liner Review

Faux is such an easy-to-wear nude, with substantial colour, for those who don’t like a really pale nude. It’s a great natural colour without making you look washed out. This Essence lipstick is a fantastic dupe for Faux. The colour is extremely similar and the texture is also a really good match.

MAC Kinda Sexy €19.50 Vs Wet’n’Wild Just Peachy €2.99

This is one of my all time favourite lipsticks from MAC. It’s an extremely flattering shade and another great neutral for day or night. This Wet’nWild number is an almost perfect match but with a slightly more moisturising texture so for those of you who don’t like a really matte lipstick, this would be a great one to get.

Claire’s Picks

MAC Velvet Teddy €19.50 Vs Wet’n’ Wild Bare It All €2.99

Velvet Teddy cemented it’s cult status when it became a go-to for Kylie Jenner, and again it’s a great shade for flattering all skin tones. I personally find it a little drying as it’s a matte finish, so I usually wear it with lip balm, as you can see from the photos below. I actually prefer the finish of the Wet’n’Wild dupe, as it’s creamier. In terms of durability, both last for hours, and are staples in my makeup bag!

MAC Hue €19.50 Vs NYX Summer Love €5.99

Liners

Hue is a firm favourite for many Irish girls, as it’s a pinky nude and very wearable for day and night. Although they don’t swatch similarly as you can see below, once on the lips, they are pretty much identical. I get similar wear time out of both, and because they are a little creamier (Hue is a glaze finish), they don’t last as long as the matte finishes.

MAC lip liner dupes

We both love MAC lip liners. The colours are great, they’re very long wearing and the pencils themselves are very long (neither of us has managed to use up a full pencil yet), but at €16.50 a pop, they’re a tad pricey. We’ve found some great dupes for them at a fraction of the price. Some of the dupes don’t have quite as creamy a consistency as MAC but the difference is barely noticeable and they last just as long.

MAC Boldly Bare €16.50 Vs Rimmel Spice €4.79

Mac Lip Liner Shade Subculture

MAC Subculture €16.50 Vs Wet’n’Wild Willow €1.99

MAC Spice Vs Catrice Upper Brown Side €1.99

MAC Dervish Vs Catrice That’s What Rose Wood Do! €1.99

All of the dupes mentioned are genuinely very close and really good quality-wise, so we rate them as fantastic budget buys! What are your top MAC dupes, or have you any MAC colours you’d like us to find a dupe for? Leave a comment or drop us an email!
