The Best MAC Lip Liner for Velvet Teddy: A Guide for Fair, Medium, Brown, and Dark Skin Tones

When it comes to finding the perfect lip liner to complement MAC's iconic Velvet Teddy lipstick shade, it can be overwhelming with so many options available. As someone who has experience working at MAC Cosmetics, I've seen firsthand how customers often come in-store looking for a lip liner that matches this popular nude shade.

In this article, we'll explore eight different MAC lip liners that work well with Velvet Teddy, catering to fair skin tones (NC15), medium skin tones (NC25-30), brown skin tones (NC35 and above), and dark skin tones. Whether you're looking for a precise match or want to create a subtle ombre effect, these lip liner options will help you achieve the perfect pout.

Why Velvet Teddy is a Game-Changer

Velvet Teddy is one of those timeless MAC lipstick shades that never goes out of style. Its unique blend of beige and brown tones creates a soft, natural look that complements most skin types. If you're anything above NC25, like NC30/NC35, it's worth noting that Velvet Teddy might not be the best match for you. As an NW15 (NW20 when I tan) with olive skin tone, I find that Velvet Teddy is one of the best choices for a nude lipstick shade.
