MAC Lip Pencil 1.45g in Redd is a permanent lip liner from MAC's long-running lip pencil collection — a slightly warm-toned, deep orange-red in a matte finish, designed to define, fill in and prolong the wear of lipsticks across the warm-red and coral-red spectrum. The creamy-yet-firm pencil glides on cleanly with enough precision to outline a sharp lip and enough pigment to fill in as a base on its own. About MAC Cosmetics MAC Cosmetics is the Canadian-born professional makeup brand founded in Toronto in 1984 by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo, originally as a backstage brand for makeup artists. Now part of The Estée Lauder Companies, MAC's Lip Pencil collection has long been one of the most respected ranges in the industry — an exhaustive shade selection, a reliable matte finish and decades of professional use behind every shade. Key benefits Matte, pigment-rich finish — sharp definition with strong colour pay-off in one or two passes Long-wearing — extends the wear of lipstick when used as a full-lip base Sharpenable barrel — for precise lines or a softer fill-in look Helps prevent lipstick bleed — sets the edge of the lip to keep colour from feathering Wearable as a stand-alone lip colour — full lip plus a touch of balm gives an effortless matte finish Pro-grade formula — a backstage and counter staple Shade Redd is a slightly warm-toned, deep orange-leaning red with a matte finish. It reads as a confident, warmer red — distinct from MAC's cooler, true-red liners — and pairs especially well with warm-red, coral-red and brick-red lipsticks. As a wearable shade, it's flattering across fair, medium and deep skin tones, particularly those with warm undertones. Who it's for This pencil suits anyone who wants the polish of a defined, precise red lip without smudging or feathering — particularly fans of warm reds and coral-reds. It works hard as a partner to MAC's classic red lipsticks (Russian Red, Lady Danger and similar shades), or as a stand-alone matte-lip base for an effortless wash of warm red.
