I staunchly support giving matte pinkish beige MAC Staunchly Stylish Lip Pencil ($19.50) time in the spotlight right now because of all of the peach and pink shades that came out with the spring collections, which I think it works so well with — especially neutral and warm pinks and peaches.
It’s one of those lip pencil perennials you can wear year round, but it’s really in its element now.
It can also rock with corals, I’ve noticed.
Not so much with intensely orange or red ones, but with quiet corals that have a peachy pink bent, it’s all gravy.
I know it looks kind of dark in the swatch, but it’s like the color of nude lips on a kisser. The perfect barely-there lip pencil, and talk about flexible.
Staunchly Stylish is like the yoga master of lip pencils; it goes with so many colors!
Non-drying, it skates across my skin without tugging at all, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it moisturizing. It doesn’t make my normally cray-cray dry lips worse, though, and that’s pretty good. When I wear it my lips don’t get flaky or dry.
It also lasts a long time, fading slowly over the course of 8-9 hours.
Oh! — if you happen to have the new MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils in creamy peach Revved Up, yellowish pink Go For Girlie or mauvey pink Kittenish, I think Staunchly Stylish looks fab with those shades, as well as creamy peach Lots of Laught Lipglass…
And creamy pink Carousel Lipglass from the MAC Playland collection.
And light pink Toying Around (super pretty!).
And the Mineralize Glasses in Lovingly Yours (a pinkish nude) and light cool-toned peach cream Be Nice.
Seriously, it can do so much! Please give it a try one of these days.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

I haven’t worn lip liner in over 10 years! Maybe 15!
I think I’m allergic to lipliner – either that or I’m just way way too lazy to use it, LOL! It’s probably because I haven’t found many coloured ones that aren’t horrifically drying on my (already desert-y) lips…
I may have to try this in the store, I am a big fan of MAC lip pencils now. Ever since I discovered Nuxe’s Reve de miel I just wear that and a Lip liner from MAC over that! stays put really long and looks incredibly natural! People should try that!
I picked this one up after watching your video with Victor C. It’s such a pretty shade and I love the Prolongwear lip pencil formula ever since I got More to Love as it’s just a dream to apply.
Can’t wait to use it with some of my nude lipsticks. Thanks for the recommendation, Karen!
I used to never wear lip liner, but in the last year or so I have been really getting into it. This shade looks great for a neutral lip!
I may need to add Staunchly Stylish to my arsenal. My favorite lip pencil of all time is BBQ by MAC but sadly, it’s been discontinued 🙁
I love bbq lipliner too and I just lost mine.
Ah this one is perfect! My must have from MAC is Spice but I guess this will come close to be an everyday shade!
The shade look so wearrable and will work great as bases to many lip colors and glosses!!..
Hello i have stauntly lipliner which lipstick do you have on the picture.
Please let ms know.
Thanks
Athina
