I love this liner. Initially I bought this as a liner to go with Viva Glam Gaga but have found it useful with several other cool toned lipsticks (i.e. Snob). I love the baby pink color and don't...

You've heard this story before: wanted: neutral lip liner that gives just a hint of that fresh-bitten (natural) color that brightens up the complexion and goes great with all looks. If possible,...

I'm not much of a lip liner girl but I bought it with the MAC Plumful to wear to a wedding. The color is great because it is just a tad pinker than my natural color but it is very drying. It helps...

This color barely shows up on me but basically evens out my lip color, however it makes light pink lippies show up beautifully on my pigmented lips! Under Viva Glam GaGa or Angel its fab! NW30 for...

I love this shade! MAC lip pencils are a little dry, but that means that once they're on, they stay put. Subculture and Dervish are almost the same, except subculture is warmer, and dervish is a...

Not a completly bad pencil for those who want a nude/pink, but I was hoping for a more neutral color and this is far too pink on me and its drying as hell. Taking it back.

I like the colour of this lipliner when its finally on - its a light pink with gold flecks but it is so drying. I even tried to flame it to get some colour. I dont know how MAC have continued this...

A fellow MUA'er had thrown in Dervish as an extra in a swap a long time ago and I hated it. It didn't show up at all, was just very blah...so I swapped it away. Skip ahead a couple of years...

This was not very pigmented and it is quite drying. I was surprised how not creamy this was. Two lippies cause I like the color.

I am a lipliner girl...and sad to say, I am dissappointed with this one..it's like a pinkish mauve with a slight frost. I think it goes on very rough, doesn't blend and is drying. Mind you, it will...

Dervish pretty much matches my natural lip color. It is a bit cooler on me and shows up a bit pinky, but not too blue/pink or too brown (Spice was way too brown on me). I like Subculture for...

The color suited my pink colored lips perfectly, though it was extremely dry and did not apply well. I tried it a few different times and had the same problem each time. Sadly would not repurchase,...

This one is pretty much the same color as my lips. It is a cool toned light mauve shade. It just doesn't do much for me (I'm NW20). Would not repurchase this shade.

Eh. This was not so great for me b/c I have warm undertones in my skin and this is just too cool. Plus I have pigmented lips and this didn't do anything as far as toning them down. It looked dark...

This was my first MAC lip liner. I really like it. I pair it with Hue lipstick & C-Thru lipglass. It makes a great porn star look. :]

This was (and still is) the first MAC lipliner I had. Unfortunately I can't compare it to other MAC lipliners so I just give my impressions. The color is wonderful, somehow it's matches very...

Dervish is the most perfect, natural pink lipliner. It's a very soft pink with a tinge of mauve. Not nude or brown at all, very MLBB in color if your lips are pinkish. Long lasting. This works with...
