The Oak lip liner is more brown, which means you get a really nice lip combo, and since Runway Hit’s formula makes it almost transferproof, that’s when you can apply some clear lipgloss on top.

And that, friends, allows for lots of creativity – even if all you want is to create soft nude ombre lip looks! On the eyes, go for some coral eyeshadow, a bit darker than Runway Hit’s shade, or you can also go for simple taupe eyeshadow to act as a reminder of the Oak lip liner. The Oak lip liner is not that different from Down to an Art, and what I would personally do is apply Oak all over my lips and then Down to an Art, just using the lip liner as a base, not for its color.On the eyes, something warm-toned, again – you could play with different types of burgundy and red eyeliners, or burgundy eyeshadow on its own for fall and winter. Hopefully, all these combos will have shown you shades that you might already have in your makeup stash. On the eyes, you can go for something more brown, or something like soft pink eyeshadow if you want to create an everyday look.

Plus, the Oak lip liner will act as a colored canvas, meaning Hug Me will look bolder with the lip liner underneath. However, don’t forget to wear a nice peach blush, or maybe some mauve blush depending on what you choose for the eyes. Or apply Creme Cup on top of a lip primer and then redefine your lips softly with Oak – blend, blend, blend so you don’t get a grunge look if you’re going for something sophisticated Either apply the Oak lip liner all over your lips and then Creme Cup to allow both colors to mix, giving a slightly darker and slightly more brown resultThe Oak lip liner is one of the bestselling MAC lip products, and it’s quite easy to understand why: even if the brown color has a slight yellow undertone, almost anyone with pale to medium skin can wear it. Apply the Oak lip liner all over your lips, and then Hug Me on top – that’s the best way to combine the two if you want Hug Me to last longer.

As a fair olive skinned person, I can definitely wear it, although I would much rather wear Thanks, It’s MAC! and Syrup from the same range, since they are more pink. However, on warm skin, when you apply the MAC Oak lip liner all over your lips and a thin layer of Mull It Over, both colors mix to give a more neutral brown that you can then coat with some clear lipgloss – gorgeous. The color of this one is really light, really pink, and absolutely stunning when worn in combination with the Oak lip liner. My favorite clear lipglosses are the MAC Lipglass in Clear as well as the Juvia’s Place It’s Glass lipgloss – both give that mirror shine we love to see.
