Recreate Wednesday Addams’s Viral Lip Look With These 3 Liner Dupes

Surely you’ve heard the nonstop chatter surrounding Netflix’s new horror comedy, “Wednesday.” The show premiered on November 23rd (of course, a Wednesday), and while I haven’t watched a single episode, I can tell you I’ve seen many a reel about Wednesday Addams’s goth glam look.

The most viewed is a video by Cat Quinn (the executive director of global trends at MAC) that reveals Jenna Ortega’s viral lip combo on the show, as told by makeup artist Tara McDonald.

It’s MAC Lip Pencil in the shade “Nightmoth” mixed with clear balm, the Lucas Papaw Ointment to be exact. Lips are lined and the shade is blended towards the center of the lips, then balm is swiped on for a natural-looking wash of dark color–simple as that.

Nightmoth has since flown off the shelves, and it’s completely sold out…mysterious and spooky, I know. Have no fear, we found 3 similar lip liner swaps that are great for channeling Wednesday and her chilling, deadpan wit.
