Mac Whirl Lip Liner

A good drugstore dupe to the Whirl lip liner is the Nyx lip liner in Mauve, which is nearly identical. You can find dupes to a lot of lip liner in the Nyx lip liners because they have so many (the Suede Matte liners, Mechanical lip liners, classic) so you'll have a lot to chose from! I personally love my Nyx liners, so I would go for those. INSTAGRAM: http://pumpkinpearl.blogspot.co.uk/.

I have another MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil dupe to share with you! The next shade up on the dupe list is “Whirl”, a dirty rose hue. After comparing several swatches, I have found a list of alternative shades for the popular lip pencil. Let’s begin the dupes!

I only recently paired my MAC Honeylove lipstick with my MAC lip pencil in Whirl to achieve what is now, my winning nude lip combo. I’ve been wanting MAC Honeylove for agesss. Well, it was a toss up between that and Velvet Teddy but there was just something about Honeylove that made me want it that bit more so when I received it for Christmas.

MAC’s ‘Whirl’ lipliner has been around for a while but once Kylie Jenner got her hands on it, there wasn’t a store that could keep it in stock. It is often on backorder so that is why I have decided to share my favorite dupe of this bestseller with all of you!

Mac Lip Pencil Whirl

There are a few NYX lipliners similar to ‘Whirl’, but I found ‘Mauve’ to be the closest. Here are the details surrounding the two liners:

MAC ‘Whirl’ lipliner

$16 (USD)
Described by MAC as a “dirty rose”
Available at ULTA

NYX ‘Mauve’ lipliner

$3.50 (USD)
Conveniently described as a “mauve”
Available at ULTA and WALGREENS

Here is a close up of the two swatches:

As you can see from the swatches, the NYX ‘Mauve’ liner is a tad darker with cooler undertones and closer to a rose shade. I personally like how ‘Mauve’ looks here as compared with ‘Whirl’, but I am such a loyal MAC girl so this one is a toughie!

Mac Lip Pencil Colors

As I was swatching all of my lipliners, I found another NYX pencil to be quite similar to ‘Whirl’ as well, so here is a swatch of MAC “Whirl” vs. NYX “Natural” lipliner:

The Results: Overall, I think the huge difference in price is enough to go with the NYX “Mauve” lipliner. The quality of the NYX pencil was just as good as any MAC lipliner, so the only reason to choose ‘Whirl’ is for it’s brand name or if you like the slight difference in color more. Both pencils have a great texture, making them easy to apply. They also both have rich pigmentation so the color doesn’t just blend in with your natural lip color. I give an A+ to both!
