Users widely praise MAC Subculture as a classic, "my lips but better" nude liner perfect for overlining and creating fuller-looking lips, though some note it can feel stiff or appear too warm/orange on certain skin tones.

This is very, very, very warm toned compared to the thing I'm looking for. This is almost gray lilac. I've never seen anything so cool toned as this. Like MAC's tone looks warm compared to this, okay?

😊

MAC Subculture lip pencil gives the illusion of fuller lips without filler, especially if like me you are pale skinned with a neutral pink lip colour.

I’ve tried this lip liner and for some reason it was so stiff 😩 but it’s such a beautiful color!

😊

I LOVE LOVE LOVE subculture all over the lip! 💖💖 I’ve been through SO many! 🔥🔥
