MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil - Whirl: rated 4 out of 5 on MakeupAlley. See 196 member reviews and photos.
Soar [UK] and Whirl [UK] are probably two of the most popular lip liners from MAC at the moment. They’re usually always sold out because these shades are so trendy at the moment, and they’re perfect everyday colors. So, MAC Whirl vs Soar — how do they compare?
One thing I really like about MAC lip liners in general is that they’re creamy, but not too creamy. They’re still stiff enough that you can precisely line your lips. Plus, you can use them as lip liners or as lipsticks, the latter of which is something I enjoy doing quite often.
So, how do they compare?
MAC Soar vs Whirl
Soar is described as a mid-tone pinkish brown, but I think it’s more like a brown toned pink because I see more pink than brown. It’s that browny-pink 90s lip that everyone has been loving this past year.
Whirl is described as a dirty rose shade, and I think that fits its description perfectly. It is a rose toned brown that leans more brown than pink, but it’s not overpowering. This shade is more “90s” because it’s darker and more brown, which, as I recall, was a shade very popular in the 90s.
Both are creamy and opaque so they work perfectly as lip liners and all over the lips as a lipstick. Both are pink toned neutral shades I think everyone should own because they’re very versatile. They are quite similar, but still different in their own right.
Personally, I prefer Soar much more, and it’s the lip liner I reach for the most out of all my lip liners– drugstore, high end and even designer brand.
