Lip Swatch: RiRi ♥ MAC Talk That Talk Pro Longwear Lip Pencil Review and Swatches

MAC Talk that Talk Pro Longwear Lip Pencil is a matte dark purple lip pencil from the RiRi ♥ MAC Collection. This was meant to complement the MAC Talk That Talk lipstick from the same collection. With this product, application is neither easy or difficult, it tends to glide on the lips well and deposit colour, however, it can be a bit patchy. Like most lip pencils with the Pro Longwear formula, this tends to be drying and unforgiving on flaky lips. I like using lip pencils all over the lips to act as a longer wearing base for lipsticks, but this product causes lips to 'shrink wrap' as you can see in my photo. Proper lip preparation with a moisturising lip balm is a must. This product itself is long wearing and can hold itself well against drinks, but when combatted against oil containing foods, some product tends to slip off.

I find that the colour itself looks too stark on my skintone, which is getting progressively lighter as autumn sets in. I don't feel quite confident enough to wear this outside the comforts of my flat. Perhaps it would look nicer on people with darker skin. 
Overall, I am not too impressed with this product. I have a bit of buyer's regret with this one, which is a shame. I will probably pass it on!
