Money Well Spent: MAC Chromagraphic pencil NW25/NC30


Hi everyone

Today I wanted to share my thoughts on the MAC Chromagraphic pencil in NW25/NC30 with you all. The reason being I’m really loving it and reaching for it frequently in my daily routine. The pencil is a skin-tone colour which can be used anywhere on the face. It is quite a hard pencil, which made me initially think it would drag and be difficult to work with, but the colour transfers well, and it is easy to apply.

I love it for putting on the waterline to take away redness and brighten the eyes; a skin tone colour is much more natural then using a white on the waterline. I also like using it around the lips to outline if i'm using lipstick as it makes the colour look a lot neater as well as taking away any darkness or pigmentation around the mouth. Another way it works is as a base on the lips before lipstick to give a truer colour and helps the lipstick last longer. I have tried it as a base on the eyes too and it gives a nice even colour to work onto as well as helping the eye shadow colour to go on more pigmented.

 I love products that can be used in multiple ways as they are handy and you always feel that its money well spent when you reach for something everyday. Another reason I like the pencil is that because it is so small you can apply a small amount and be precise, for example when outlining the mouth, or you can apply more when using it as a base.

The pencil costs £13 but is only available at MAC Pro stores or on the MAC Pro website. It also comes in a lighter colour for paler skin tones and a darker colour suitable for darker skin tones. If you are thinking about getting it id say go for it, I have nothing negative to say!
