If like me, you're a beauty obsessive, there's no doubt you would've heard about MAC Spice Lip Liner. Born in the 90s, this iconic lipliner is still around today with slightly warmer nuances. Although the shade Spice remains in MAC's original line, Spice was known in the 90s as the supermodel shade and was easily recognised by the likes of Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista for the cool-toned nude.
If you didn't know, recently MAC relaunched with its Nudes Edit and brought back some classic shades that had since been discontinued. Remember the days of Honeylove, Fleshpot, Creme Cup or Yash? Don't forget Claudia Winkleman's favourite lipstick is back. Anyone obsessed with beauty will recognise these nude lipstick shades and rejoice in their return. One new edition to the range is Cool Spice Lip Liner and although this name is a new launch, the shade is in fact extremely reminiscent of that original 90s shade. It's brought back nostalgic memories for those who remember MAC Spice looking like this.

Described as a deep brown mauve, reviewers are obsessed with the new launch, calling Cool Spice the 'perfect contour colour' and a 'liner that matched Pam Anderson lip in the 90s'.
Many beauty reviewers have taken to TikTok to rave about this new launch and how they can finally get their hands on that perfect nude that includes just the right amount of beige, pink and cool tones, and we definitely agree. You can't go wrong with the long-lasting formula of a MAC Lip Pencil and although this launch is super exciting, many have rushed to shop and it's struggling to remain in stock.
With that being the case, we've searched the internet to find the best dupes so you don't miss out on finding that perfect nude lip. Brands like Rimmel and NYX know a thing or two about making a super creamy lip liner that's been designed to last on the lips all day.
We spotted a few shades that mimic MAC's nostalgic Cool Spice - so you're guaranteed to NOT miss out. Create that 90s lip with our picks below:
