I asked Book Girl, my resident artist daughter, to go through my lip pencils today and draw them out, categorizing them by shades. Then I asked her what I should wear with MAC S&P. Here, she said, and she handed me Clinique Plummy lip pencil. I'm not sure if it was because it works or because it was in her hand.
Here's the result:
It's getting closer. It's more rose and plummy here.
Same color, different angle. It looks glossy here!
Here are the other combos on other days:
Mary Kay Metallic lip liner MAC Sweetie, topped with Pinkarat gloss, rimmed with a lighter gloss and used up the center too. This is a true brown liner.
I think it is pretty, but now it is almost a red look and definitely deeper colored than hers was.
Compare it to the day I wore it with no lip liner:
MAC Sweetie, topped with Pinkarat gloss, topped in the middle with Beauté IF to make it a little less pink, rimmed with NYX Chandelier.
You can see how it changes with lip pencils. Which one do you like the best?

Later in the day today I updated to straight MAC Plum Dandy with Lovechild lipglass -- 1/2 and 1/2 -- I still can't get it to be as dramatic as it was in the makeover. PD is a rich, interesting shimmery metallic plum.
Do you have any of these?
