# Velvety Nude Lipstick Sets These New MAC Lip Kits Include Nude Shades with Matching Liners By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-01-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-lip-kits References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/1/mac-lipstick-pencil-lip-kit-572) & [shop.nordstrom](http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-mac?origin=leftnav&cm_sp=Left) In a reaction to the immensely positive response that Kylie Jenner has received for her vast range of lipstick and [liner pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlottes-iconic-lip-cheat-trio), a brand new line of [MAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipglazer-glossy-lipliner) lip kits have been released. Different from the socialite's lip kits, MAC's versions are not liquid. Rather, the makeup giant sticks to its beloved tube form -- which provides long-lasting coverage with a velvety smooth finish. All of the shades that are currently available are taken from its most popular sellers. A few of the pairings are: "Velvet Teddy and Boldly Bare, Mehr and Soar, Taupe and Hover, or Twig and Half Red." With so many different shades of nude available, the MAC lip kits suit a wide range of skin tones. To compete with Kylie Jenner's sets, the makeup giant's versions are the exact same price. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nude Lipstick Kits:** Brands can create their own line of lipstick and liner pairings to compete with current offerings. - **Velvety Smooth Finish:** Lipstick brands can focus on creating smooth, long-lasting coverage to differentiate their products. - **Shades for Various Skin Tones:** Companies should expand their nude lipstick lines to include a variety of shades that match different skin tones to stand out. ### Who This Affects Most - **Makeup:** Makeup companies can release their own line of nude lipstick and liner pairings to compete with popular sets. - **Beauty Retail:** Retailers should stock their inventory with nude lipstick sets that cater to a variety of skin tones to attract customers. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands should collaborate with makeup companies to release their own line of nude lipstick and liner sets to complement their clothing lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pre-Paired Lip Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glossy-lip-kit.md) - [Glossy Gel Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipglazer-glossy-lipliner.md) - [Mattifying Cream Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-matte-lip.md) - [Multidimensional Natural Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-line-enhancing-pencils.md) - [Ultimate Long-Lasting Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-locked-kiss-lipsticks.md) - [Luxurious Nude Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-dior.md) - [Flattering Rose-Mauve Lip Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3piece-lip-set.md) - [Flesh-Toned Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-pro-lip-erase.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md)
