Sneak Peek: MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils Photos & Swatches
MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils
MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils ($20.00 for 0.08 oz.) is the newest limited edition lip formula to release from MAC. I’m working through testing wear of the twelve shades (yep, twelve!), and I’ll be posting them as I finish wearing them, so hopefully, I’ll have reviews of a few shades for you soon. They’re available online now, but they’ll be at counters and stores on April 3rd. For now, enjoy these super quick swatches–I’ll have more photos, lip swatches, dupes, etc. with the full reviews. I would greatly appreciate you holding any questions until I’ve had a chance to test and post the review 🙂 Thank you!
See more photos & swatches!

Oh my!! They are so cute 🙂 and alluring shades ..
Oh, Berry Bold doesn’t look that “berry” in the swatch…. Most red lipsticks aways pull hot pink on me, so I hope this one works!
Berry Bold, Fearless and Teen Dream are quite cute. Thanks for taking the time to swatch!
Fearless and girlie look proising!
I was hoping they’d be more pigmented! 🙁
That was what I was expecting. Very disappointed these aren’t more pigmented and lipstick-like instead of like a lip balm.
Yeah. I think I’m going to pass on this collection.
Same here. They just don’t have the wear or look I’m after.
This is a great news! I am a little obsessed of lip pencils and these ones from MAC look really nice! I will gonna try them as soon as possible!
sick of their boring shades and textures
Sorry, I’ll stick to the drugstore versions of these.
20 dollars hahahahahahahah they are crazy.
I know! The lack of pigmentation certainly doesn’t warrant the cost.
I agree
Arm and hand swatches are deciving these are actually pigmented once on the lips
These definitely are beautiful in the tube. They are packaged like the FLOWER Beauty jumbo eye pencils. The colors are lovely too
MAC’s running out of ideas for color names, aren’t they? Awfully boring ones recently. Still, this is a good array of colors and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they apply on lips!
Hm. None of these are really screaming out to me, that’s probably a good thing, haha.
They don’t look so pigmented.. what a shame :\
I was hoping these would be more pigmented, or at least more evenly pigmented. I think I’ll stick with Clinque’s Chubby Stick Intense – I just wish they had more shades.
Hopelessly Devoted, Fearless and Patentpink are very pretty! I think I’m gonna probably skip anyway though. They’re all dupable shades and pretty pricey.
I have to admit that I like the packaging.. But wasn’t Kittenish already a very different shade of lipstick?
It was! Here’s Christine’s review of it: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-fabulous-felines-burmese-beauty-review-photos-swatches-lips-cheek
I hate it when MAC reuses names like this :/
I gotta say I’m not impressed with these and I’m okay with that! 😀
I’m not excited about these, I like more opaque color!
I got a few of these and love them! Not the longest wearing but so softly pretty on. Can’t wait to hear what you think (especially the ones I didn’t get!!!!).
Looking forward to your review! There are some pretty shades, but want to see how they translate to lips and possible dupes! 🙂
These look promising. I might actually pick some up. Looking forward to your review, Christine.
The swatches are not inspiring me very much, but it’s just not the type of lip product I am heavily attracted to. I bought a number of sheerer lip products last spring/summer and they do not get high rotation in my stash.. I also have so many lip products on order right now between your latest must have Guerlain, Dior, Bite, and Shiseido reviews on more pigmented products that I am not feeling these.
Ah nice sets of shades but I have a feeling I am not going to love these!
As always, the lip swatches will be the true test. But for now, I’m eyeing patentpink, sultana and teen dream. Hopefully, that won’t change. But if it does, I won’t be too unhappy, it means more money for the playland collection!!
I must admit, for something named ‘patent polish’ I was expecting a bit more opacity and a *lot* more shine.
These will be somewhere in the $50-60 range *each* here, if the mineralize lipstick prices are anything to go by, and honestly, MAC, I can get a perfectly nice Clinique Chubby Stick for $40, if I want a ‘high end’ fat pencil lipstick.
Having said that, Kittenish looks like a lovely MLBB, everyday shade, and Teen Dream looks like a fun orange! Thanks for the swatch peek, Christine!
PASS!!! Not interested
I thought I was going to order Spontaneous….now I like Hopelessly Devoted and Fearless better.
Look so much like the Clinique chubby sticks! Most excited for Go for Girlie and Patentpink!
I was really excited for these, but the swatches aren’t giving me much hope..
$24 in Canada, I think I’ll pass! Regardless, I’ll wait until I see them on you!
Spontaneous, Sultana and Pleasant look lovely to me! I love the sturdiness and convenience of a big lip pencil, so I’ll probably indulge! 😉
Hmm I was pretty excited about these, but some of those brighter colors look disappointingly patchy. Looking forward to your reviews!
Ah, how boring.. :/
I’m having a hard time getting my head around the very rounded tip. I feel like it would be impossible to apply precisely.
So happy that i just didn’t purchase these….They are basically glorified lipgloss with not that much color payoff especially for us deeper/darker tone women…and then they have the nerve to be $20…MAC really got some nerve!!!
I was sort of excited about them, but they don’t look very pigmented at all. If I’m paying over $8 for a lipstick it better be amazing coverage! Teen Dream looks like it could be nice though, I love oranges and corals.
Lip swatches would be much appreciated. 🙂
I think it’s about time Mac releases a jumbo lip product. These shades look amazing and there are so many!
Patent Pink looks pretty, though I’m not blown away. Innocent could be really interesting if it has decent longevity and isn’t tacky. I’d love to have a clear gloss coat without having to worry about lugging around a separate application to avoid contamination.
I’m not sure I like the shape of the product but the product itself looks nice.
I actually have Patent Pink. I ordered it the day it came out and they were offering free next day shipping. That color is AWESOME! If I would’ve seen these swatches first, I would not have thought about purchasing them. I’m going to order Fearless and also another Patent Pink since it’s LE.
Can’t wait to read your review regardless.
Thanks so much for the heads up. My husband may not be thanking you though……LOL!
These look amazing.

Hey Christine , its not related to post …. but I have a request .
can u pls post ‘five ways ‘ with
top 5 or 10 eyeliner I cant live without …
just in time for sephora sale …. would be helpful for us
Sorry for being demanding dear
Done 🙂
I like the looks of Fearless, Go for Girlie, and Hopelessly Devoted….. however at that price and the fact that they are more balm ‘like” and not extremely pigmented. I might… MIGHT. buy one? Unless the wearing factor is thru the roof amazing… maybe one.
Since the tips are rounded, wonder if it’ll be sorta hard to keep them from smearing outside the lip lines…
Are these twist-up or do they need to be sharpened?
Dang. I was hoping from the first photo they would be more opaque, and look kind of like a lip tar. But the swatches aren’t impressing me. I look forward to the full review!
Meh. They’re really NOTHING like the beautiful promo pic with ombre lips… There are many options nowadays for lip crayons and these don’t look any better than some the drugstore versions which cost less than half the price (Covergirl and Jordana are my favorites). Even the original Clinique Chubby Stick is cheaper, with nicer looking dark shades (and more pigmented if you go with the Intense).
Oh! Patent Pink, Fearless are amazing! How about the texture? Longwearing? Matte?? How about the moisturization??
I am so excited for these lip pencils… thank you Mac and thank you Christine!
I was looking forward to these but they’re definitely much more sheer than I thought they were going to be. A little disappointed but I’ll wait to see how they look worn. 🙂
I loved the promo image, but obviously they didn’t use the actual product on the model (or it was photoshopped a lot). Sultana is intriguing, and I like the packaging, but overall these look like a pretty safe pass at MAC pricing.
Mac is anything but boring. Funny to hear ppl say that. I want a few of these!!
hmm…unless these are absolutely /amazing/ i think i’ll stick with getting my sheerer glossy lip products at the drugstore. for some reason i can’t justify spending as much money as i would on a lipstick for a product that isn’t heavily pigmented or long lasting. i feel like i’m not getting my moneys worth or something.
I get the feeling they’ll be similar in formula to the huggable lip colours, maybe with more slip.
These loosk so prettyy.. loving Berry Bold, teen dream and kittenish.. Though they looks a lott sheerer than expected.. will be waiting for your reviews to decide! 🙂
How about the finish? I’d like to know if one or more of them are matte. ):
These are all glossy – they are designed to be like lipgloss, so this is not a matte finish product!
