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.

Over the last year, the amount of nude lipsticks in my collection has grown rapidly. I’ve gone from only owning Velvet Teddy because it was a cult product (anyone else do this?!) and leaving it barely used for a good three months to having a massive collection of nude lipsticks including a massive haul of Kylie Jenner-esque ones from Colour Pop (but more on that in another post.). So, when I won a £25 Debenhams voucher at work I thought I’d treat myself to another of MAC’s cult nude lipsticks Whirl and picked up the matching lip liner to team it with.

Whirl is a medium to dark rosy brown satin finish and when I first swatched it, I had a moment of panic as it was a lot darker than it looked online. I find some browns can be a little too dark and over powering for my skin tone but thankfully the because of the muted rosy hue and warm undertones it is surprisingly wearable despite me being a little pale, crisis averted. As with most of MAC’s satin lipsticks it’s a pleasure to wear, none drying and feels silky smooth to apply. However, this also means that compared to the matte and amplified finishes the lasting power isn’t as strong so I was reapplying by my second coffee of the day. The liner, as with all of all the other MAC one I’ve tried, is soft and doesn’t drag. It also has some seriously lasting power and I look forward to teaming this dirty rose coloured liner with some lighter nude lipsticks in the summer. Over all, I think for my skin tone at least, Whirl is one lipstick that I’ll be getting more used to as the winter months roll around. Although the rose undertones make for a gorgeous colour, I just prefer to go a little brighter and bolder when the sun is shining. The lip liner however, is quickly joining Soar with one of my favourites for the whole year round. I can certainly see why this pair has such a cult following.
