MAC Subculture is a moderately warm-toned, very dark peach with a matte finish. It is a lip liner that is permanent in this palette: Look in a Box: Pretty Natural.

Editor's Review

Subculture is described as am "underground pink." It's a muted, medium peachy-brown with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had a dryer, firmer consistency which really needs firm pressure to achieve color coverage. I'm not a big fan of the standard MAC Lip Pencil formula as I find them hard to use all-over the lips and mildly tolerable along just the edges of the lips. This is part of the permanent range. It lasted for six hours but is pretty drying on its own. MAC Boldly Bare (P, ) is lighter, brighter, warmer. MAC Boldly Bare (P, ) is lighter, brighter, warmer. MAC Nice 'n' Spicy (P, $19.50) is darker, cooler. MAC Etcetera (P, $19.50) is darker, cooler. MAC Have to Have It (LE, ) is cooler. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Love, love, love this! It's the perfect nude liner for my natural lip colour. I have no idea why it took me so long to buy this one

Just bought this today because I was looking for a good nude lip liner to go under the lipstick I bought (I bought three different shades and didn't want to shell out money for three different liners). It works just great and is pigmented enough that you could wear it alone. However, it is somewhat drying so if you did want to do that, I'd recommend using a good lip balm or gloss to help hydrate your lips.
