Dervish Lip Pencil

This is as close a dupe as I've found in a single lipliner to Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury. They retail around the same here in Canada but Pillow Talk can be hard to get, so Dervish is pretty close.

It is a very good balance between warm and cool tones in a nude pink shade. Definitely a MLBB type shade and would go with either warm or cool toned lipsticks.

It is a drier …Read more

This color is so universal! It goes with every lipstick color and it looks great on its own with lipgloss - like a natural lip color. Only 4 stars because $18 is high for a lip liner

The main complaint I read most often with MAC lipliners is that they are dry and require a bit of effort to pay off color-wise. While I definitely see that happening with the liners I own from them, including this one, it only occasionally pops up as an issue. Usually, I run the liner across a clean surface for a stroke or two, then apply it to my lips and the pigmentation is great and smooth …Read more

This is an ok lip pencil.

Shade wise it comes close to whirl, but without the brown tones. It is pretty, however it's not as creamy or even pigmented as other mac lip pencils.

Dervish is also quite drying, I only use it to outline the lips when wearing a nude shade.

Wouldn't repurchase :(

This has become my new HG of lip products. I love the finished look of a lipstick/lip product and it really ties everything together, but I can't be bothered to carry the product around and reapply throughout the day. This has been awesome for that. Dervish is pretty much my natural lip color, just a bit nicer, so I've been applying it as a lip color, rather than a base for lipstick. I …Read more

Gives the impression of a full natural lip - could not do without this product. I am very pale (NC15/NW10) so it shows up on my skin enough to draw a fuller lip without looking fake.

Someone commented that this is shimmery - I think it is totally matte.

Such a disappointing product! The pencil is hard and incredibly sheer, goes on almost invisible, even after penciling a few coats on. It's a shame because it's such a pretty colour, but really poorly pigmented. The longevity is almost non-existent - the whole thing rubbed off after a few sips of water. In addition, it has a shimmer to it which I didn't notice until I got home …Read more

I own several MAC lipliners and this is the ONLY one that is dry, hard and not pigmented.

Shame because the color is actually really pretty :(

Dervish is awesome!! It's a very MLBB lipliner & goes w the usual MAC MLBB lippies (brave, faux, velvet teddy, creme d nude, taupe, twig, spirit, even creme cup...soooo versatile!). My fave way to wear this is to line my lips then fully fill them in & shellac a clear gloss (eg Bath&BodyWorks CO Bigelow Ultra Mentha but almost any clear gloss or even Vaseline will do) over the …Read more

Dervish is a beautiful light mauvey/pink. It's the perfect shade for my lips, it gives just enough dimension. On most day I line my lips and darken the outer edges and start feathering in the middle of my lips. I add Fresh Sugar Rose lip balm over the top and I looks like I'm wearing nothing but it's definitely more polished. I wear this by itself and under my more mauvey …Read more
