I guess you could try it at your own risk but I think MAC says it's not safe for the lip area. Temptalia has a pic of the warning sheet.

It might be worth the risk to get the lip look that I want! I have Hi Def Cyan, and I love how well it wears. It's not too dry, and doesn't smudge around at all. I have worn that all over my inner rim of my eye, without any issues.

@ misfitted, that lipstick in your pic looks FABULOUS on you!!! 
Thank you Carolina!
L-R: Blueberry Fizz & Grid Top-Bottom: Blueberry Fizz & Grid Just for old times sake I thought I'd throw out a swatch of Blueberry Fizz and Grid which always struck me as somewhat punk. Apologies for the intense artificial bathroom lighting.
Aahhhh why don't I have Blueberry Fizz!
No, you aren't the only one it is in my list as well. I'm just such a purple heaux that I'm easily drawn into them and have a hard time noticing anything else. Lol
Purp heaux powers ACTIVATING! LMAO!

Still impatiently waiting for boxing day.

Sort of off topic, but would Black Black Chromagraphic pencil work well as a lipliner? The only black liner that I've heard is good is Nyx's black, but I cannot find it in stores anywhere, and do not want to pay for shipping to Northern Canada.

The reason I'm asking here, is, I want black liner for these lippies!

You should check out Just My Type lip pencil, if MAC is what's easier for you to purchase. I've mentioned it before - it's a very dark cool brown and I love using it with my black and dark purple lipsticks when I don't want to add any red tone. You won't see the brown at all, but it will provide a nice crisp outline. Another nice thing about it is you get the good line, but it's not as harsh looking of a contrast between the skin, the liner and the lipstick, as if you used true black. This is especially true if you're fair skinned. It's perfection with Firm Form and Potent Fig mattene.

It's a matte, and you can buy it now, as it's a perm PRO colour.
Yep, that was me and my info. I want to say it was Marine Blue, but I honestly wasn't committing the pigment info entirely to memory while I was viewing the color story and swatches. Those lipstick and csg swatches got me too hot and bothered to focus on a perm pigment. Nice to know Magenta Madness is now more readily available - that one is cute. True Chartreuse is still the one I want to see.

I agree with liba. Just My Type is a dark, cool toned brown that looks almost black. The more it's layered, the darker it gets. It may be on the MAC site still, but I have seen it at a lot of of CCO's. I've used the Chromagraphic pencils before (Process Magenta) and I never had issues with it bleeding.

If you want a cheaper alternative, NYX does make two black lip liners. One in Blackberry (the pencil) and Black Lips (retractable). I prefer the retractable. It's not patchy and is black in one pass. I use Black Lips whenever I am doing a black lip with Firm Form or Black lipmix.

Definitely interested in the two purples and Studded Kiss! Carnal Instinct looks too warm for me (I'm NW25), and I think unfortunately that the black lippie will just wash me out.

I'm so gonna try and find that black NYX LL at Ulta tonight! I have tons of NYX lip liners and I never even thought to look for a black one! A lack of a black liner has kept me from rocking Firm Form and Grey Friday the way I want, as I didn't feel like using a black eyeliner lol.

Oh Grey Friday, how I wish I hadn't passed on that one!

A few months ago I bought a pencil by Iman from Walgreens called Black Silk. I was looking for a very dark purple and I must've wanted dark purple so bad, the tip of the pencils where it shows what color the pencil is inside looked like a very dark purple. When I bought it and swatched it, it was well, like the name says, black (it looked like a blackened purple to my eyes inside Walgreens). It's not a stark deep black like the BB Chromagraphic pencil though. Also, it's not as cheap price wise as NYX but it's not as high as MAC's either.

Yes, find it if you can!

I agree with not using black eye liner. They always bled for me.

You can always get Chartreuse, that one has a pearl finish.
True, but they're definitely different colour :nods:

That would make sense, making all 3 pigments matte.

I agree.

I think I am sticking to just the 2 purple lippies, Punk Couture and Instigator. I don't think I would rock the black one enough to justify the purchase. I am going to certainly admire and enjoy the swatches from these threads though!

Me too. I am ok with eyeliner and Grey Friday over it. For the once in a blue moon that I want a black lip. If it were a bit more purple, I would do it.
