MAC Whirl is a slightly warm-toned, light-medium brown with a matte finish. It is a permanent lipstick that retails for $19.00 and contains 0.1 oz.

Editor's Review

Whirl is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff that applied color evenly across the lips without dragging. The consistency was lightweight, denser but not heavy, and velvety. The color stayed on well for four and a half hours on me and was neither drying nor hydrating.

The formula was very hard to apply, the colour didn’t look good on me either. Instead Of a nice brown it was a “dead purplish”. I got it as a birthday present and really wanted to love but instead kept it for around 5 years and just today threw away almost unused. I also don’t like that the brand is not cruelty free still

MAC matte lipsticks are my favourite formula to wear and I find them consistently good across the board. Whirl is a lovely rosy nude that goes with most looks, bold or subtle. As always I love the MAC formula, I find it easy to apply and relatively long lasting for a bullet.

I bought this in the mini-sized version because although this is a shade I've had my eye on for some time, it's also similar to so many lipsticks that I already own. When I saw the mini version of Whirl, I decided to just go for it. At this writing, you can still get Whirl in the small size. This lipstick goes on very nice and creamy and lasts a long time, through hot coffee in the morning and then through lunch, with just a minor touchup. It's not drying or moisturizing, but it feels comfortable. When this little tube of Whirl runs out, I may buy a full size...but only after I use up some of my other pink-brown lipsticks.

At first, I didn\'t want to buy this lipstick because it immediately felt too dry on my lips. But I absolutely fell in love with the colour and now it is one of my favourite lipsticks anyway. Interestingly, the colour looks quite different on me compared to the way it looks on the pictures shown here. But either way it\'s gorgeous! Bottom line: Even though I do find it to be drying, I\'ll actually rate 4.5 stars because it looks so good that that hasn\'t stopped me from wearing and loving it.
