MAC is devoted to creating products using safe, good-for-skin ingredients. Soar Magenta Heroine. Apply before lipstick by lining your lips using the pencil tip for a defined lip look with long-lasting colour. Soar is my favorite mac liner hands down. The color is complimentary to many different shades or lipstick and glosses. It last a long time on your lips. It glides on smoothly and evenly.

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.

Mac Lip Pencil In Soar

It's safe to say MAC Soar is one of my all-time favourite lip pencils (you've probably seen me wearing it in pretty much every outfit post!). But as I was perusing the aisles of Boots I spotted this L'Oréal Lip Liner Couture in Bois de Rose, which bared a striking resemblance to my beloved. And when I got home and swatched them side by side, I was impressed to find they were almost identical!
They're both in the same colour vein; dusky pinkish brown hues with a slight hint of mauve. The only difference is that Soar is a little bit darker than its drugstore counterpart. On the lips, I found the texture to be very similar too; both felt smooth and creamy and glided on effortlessly. I'd say the L'Oréal version was a tiny bit waxier, but barely at all.
And while Soar retails at £12.50, Bois de Rose costs a very purse-friendly £3.99. I'm actually starting to like L'Oréal's offering more, and I'm definitely going to check out the other shades in the range!
