MAC Quite Cute: Lip Pencils

MAC Quite Cute Lip Pencils ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) include three permanent shades from the upcoming collection, which launches in-stores on April 7th. All three shades are actually repromotes from Too Fabulous. The shades are: Boldly Bare (dirty red brown), In Synch (bright yellow pink), and Naked (light neutral).

  • Boldly Bare is a red-based, dirty brown.
  • In Synch is a peached-pink in a way. It’s not quite your typical pink–it’s definitely yellow-based. This would work really well with some more coral-pink lipsticks or glosses.
  • Naked is a light, peach-based beige. I didn’t realize that this was a repromote at the time of swatching, so I did not pull out Naked (which apparently I already own). You can see photos/swatches here.

They’re comfortable enough to be worn alone or as actual lip liner, depending on your needs. With their matte finishes, these hold onto lips well and last six to eight hours. All three shades were nicely pigmented and applied smoothly without skipping.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Wow you sure were busy today! Thanks! I have my eye on these pencils and the baby blue nail polish. Do u plan on purchasing the polishes?

I buy about 90% of MAC products featured on the blog. I believe in 2010, MAC samples accounted for 4-5 collections, but I bought the rest – obviously give or take, I don’t keep track specifically. Big collections like Wonder Woman, Venomous Villains, etc. are usually sent but the majority of the others I have purchased. With the exception of the few collections sent last year, I’ve been buying full MAC collections since Dame Edna in 2008. I literally think the amount of collections I didn’t have to buy is under 10. The ones I can remember for sure were Alice + Olivia, Venomous Villains, Give Me Liberty of London, and Wonder Woman.

Hi, Christine — thanks for the swatches and reviews! Oh, and according to the MAC Update I went to, the pencils will stay in the line after the release of Quite Cute. 🙂

I tried on the In Sync today at the MAC Pro store and found that it was very hard to blend. Anyone else have this problem? Or did I just get one that had been dipped in alcohol one too many times?
