Seeing as how brown lipsticks are trending right now, I thought I would introduce one of my new favorite lip colors – and compare it to it’s NYX dupe. Most MAC lipliners seem to have a similar color in the NYX line of lipliners, and after doing some research, word on the street is that the NYX liner in ‘Natural’ is a dupe for MAC’s ‘Stripdown’.

Personally, I don’t think these two liners are that close in color. ‘Natural’ is described as a deep-toned beige, while MAC describes ‘Stripdown’ as a creamy brown-beige.
Mac lip liner quality has really gone down in recent years. Their liners used to be creamy but firm and be easy to sharpen. I purchased stripdown about 2 months ago and it was a nightmare to use. About reviewer (17 reviews). 1 day ago In my honest opinion, MAC Cosmetics' best-selling nude lip liners like Spice, Whirl, Cork, Soar, and Stripdown are the creamiest and most pigmented of all, but I also love Victoria Beckham Beauty. What it is: A lip pencil designed for shaping, lining or filling in your lips. What it does: It features a smooth, creamy texture perfect for outlining or coloring in lips and is available in a wide selection of colors that work well with many different lipstick shades. The lip pencil won't skip or drag, and it applies quickly and precisely, too. How to use: Apply before your lipstick by lining your lips using the pencil tip for a defined lip. So excited to finally be filming my MAC Lip Liner Swatches video again! My previous one was such a long time ago, so really wanted to give it another go.
As you’ll see from the above swatch, “Natural” definitely has more warm pink undertones, while ‘Stripdown’ is much more of a browny-beige. Both liners have great pigmentation and a similar creamy texture, making them both easy to apply.

As I’ve said in prior MAC/NYX dupe posts, the biggest difference between them is the price point. MAC lipliners run for $16, while NYX lipliners are only $3.50.
