GIRL, funny story. My buddy Jen’s been a lot more or less using the exact same color of brown matte lipstick considering that the ’90s, as well as I’ve been bugging her to break out of her comfort zone for years.
Corals, pinks, reds, nudes — seriously, any type of shade other than that exact same ’90s matte brown, however now that the ’90s lip, likewise understood as (airquotes) “the Kylie Jenner lip,” is back in style, I don’t feel like I requirement to bug her anymore, LOL!!
The lip Jen’s liked all these years has made a comeback, as well as you can bet she’s prepared for it.
Me, on the other hand, to be honest, I need some handholding. Back in the day I liked using matte brown lips, as well as it was all I wore, quite much 24/7, however I’m having a difficult time now re-seeing myself in the color.

Freaking Whirl…
If I had a dollar for whenever I responded, “MAC Whirl Lip Pencil,” whenever somebody asked me for a Kylie Jenner lip recommendation, I’d have sufficient to take a trip around the world. Twice.
Yup, Whirl Lip Pencil. It’s a matte rosy brown in the MAC long-term line, as well as it’s been around for ages.
Whirl Lipstick is Whirl Lip Pencil’s fellow lip-loving cousin. Both are a similar rosy brown with a flat matte finish, however the Lipstick feels thicker as well as isn’t as dry.
Not to state that the lipstick is moisturizing, since it isn’t. In my experience, the MAC Matte formulation is quite drying, however that’s not unusual for matte lipstick. If you stay moisturized as well as befriend a moisturizing balm (particularly if you apply it routinely at night before bed), this matte rosy brown, as well as MAC’s other mattes, must not suck all of the wetness from your lips (at least not every ounce)…
After using it the past couple of days, I’m shocked by exactly how much I like it. since of its rosy tones, it’s not like using a full-on matte brown (which I’m sooo not prepared for).
And, uh…this is most likely going to noise weird, however it’s nearly the exact same color as my gums! — so I assumption you might phone call it an MGBB color. My Gums however Better. Haha!
I like it, as well as I’ve gotta provide it as well as the other MAC Mattes major props for enduring as long as they do on my lips. The wear time is so boss. Whirl lasts six or seven hours, as well as that’s with a meal as well as great deals of chugging water from my bkr bottle.
