What Color is Mac Whirl Lipstick?
It is a pinky-brown hue that really works on every skin tone due to the undertones that naturally occur in the skin. Mac Whirl is a warm-toned pink that also has a matte finish. Mac describes it as a “dirty rose” color. This shade has been around for almost 8 years now, and quickly became one of the most popular in the Mac range! This means that lots of drugstore brands will want to replicate it.
