Perfect brown

It has taken me an age to buy a MAC eyeliner. Part of the reason is because I have had so many black eyeliners and hey there are only so many black eyeliners one needs, so when I decided I needed to acquire a brown eyeliner I decided I needed to try this.

I bought this in the shade 'teddy' it's a deep dark brown, very pigmented and almost has a slight gold shimmer to it. I love it and by far the best brown eyeliner I've purchased. It glides on so easily no dragging, no pulling your eyes certain ways just to get it on its fantastic.

It lasts all day and I don't notice it melting off or fading. But it's easy to remove at the end of the day.

The pencil is easy to sharpen and doesn't crumble away like some eyeliners do when you sharpen them.

Overall I love this eyeliner and I'm tempted to try some of the other colours. I love brown eyeliners for a more 'natural' look and not looking so dramatic.

So smooth.

These Eye Kohl pencils are one of those standout products from MAC. I have a few different shades now as I love them.

The one I use the most is in the shade Fascinating. This is a beautiful creamy white shade. I apply this lightly to the inner corner of my eyes and my waterline. It really accentuates the eye area and makes me look more awake.They guide on so easily as the pencil end is soft. They can fade easily and smudge a little but overall a lovely product.

They are expensive but last the distance, yes I would repurchase again.

MAC Eye Kohl

It's good for a simple day look, but it's too soft that it hardly can be seen and sometimes it smudges

Mac eye kohl

Good for an eye pencil. Super creamy and easy to apply. It's very pigmented but unfortunately it does tend to smudge a lot. Overall it's a good pencil but you can find similar pencils at the drugstore for cheaper.

Smooth Sailing

I recently bought this in the shade Prussian, which is a really dark navy blue. It's a beautiful colour!

The pencil is beautiful: sleek, matte black with a sturdy plastic cap and the colour of the pencil on the end.

The formula of this pencil is soft, but hard enough to draw precise lines. Where you draw it, it sits - so be careful! This is incredibly difficult to remove and it's as vibrant after 8 hours as when you just drew it on. The pigmentation is the exact colour you'd expect it to be on your eyes. Amazing!

I love this pencil for amping up my eyes a little because I don't wear eyeliner daily and it does the best job! I am definitely getting more!

My favourite eye pencil

I don't shop around much so when I find something that works I stick with it. I've used these pencils for years, I find they work best for me. The pencil goes on smoothly which is always a plus (not sticking to the skin and poking me in the eye). I like the smudgy effect it gives rather than a sharp black line. The only downside is it does wear off during the day, but most girls freshen up makeup to go out right?

Unfortunately it smudges...Easily.

This eyeliner doesn't stay on - It bleeds colour on to the bottom of my eye. It does it when I start blinking and looks like I've been had a major breakdown. I don't trust this eyeliner when I'm relying on it for a party. I've been out all night and then will check on eye makeup to find that it has smudged. Not a fan.

Tips: To be honest, I don't think this was formulated for Asian eyes as I find a lot of eyeliners smudge.

Honestly Not a Big Fan

Like makeup lovers I love spending that little bit extra on my makeup. So I though I'd get some MAC to try and though I loved most of it this was a bit of a disappointment. I found it too soft and it seems to go everywhere and it is soooo hard to sharpen. I l=have other pencils that stay just as long and are half the price. So when this completely runs out I will not be running out to get another.

Teddy and Fascinating

I bought these from MAC a long time ago, back when I thought MAC was the best makeup brand and didn't buy anything else. The packaging on these is nothing special, just the usual sized pencil with a black lid. I find both the pencils I own last a long time (all day) around my eye, but don't last very long in the waterline. They are creamy to apply and don't drag across the lid when applying. I do think these are extremely expensive for what they are, but as I explain below I would still repurchase Teddy, but not Fascinating.

Teddy; This is a bronzy (but not glittery) brown colour which is my favourite for everyday. I find if you put a thicker line on then smudge it out you can get a lovely smokey look (this was a tip from the sales-lady when I bought this). Mainly I end up doing this when I accidentally do my liner too thick. But for most days I just do a thin line across my lash line to compliment my brown eyeshadow. I find that brown looks much softer on my eyes than black since I am so pale. I love this colour and would recommend it to anyone. I have used quite a bit of it and imagine I will repurchase when I run out.

Fascinating; This is a plain white eye pencil. I bought this to use in the inner corner of my eye and in the waterline to brighten my eye, and it does brighten my eye. Why I thought that I should buy such an expensive one I don't know. I haven't used that much of this and if I did run out I don't think I would repurchase, this colour is dupe-able by so many other cheaper brands.

Smokey Eyes

I love this eye pencil!

I find that it is very soft and goes on easily. The one I have is very dark so it's perfect to use on my lids before applying a liquid eyeliner for a more dramatic look.

I've only tried it a couple of times on it's own and it doesn't work for me. After a few hours I end up with panda eyes and creases.

On an average day I use it under my eyes and use a small eyeshadow brush to smudge and blend, when I use this method it stays on all day and I love it.

I don't find it all that easy to remove, once I've used an eye make-up remover and done a basic cleanse I have to go back over with makeup remover as there is usually still a bit lurking between my eyelashes.

Great for a smokey eye look.

Tips: Don't use too much at once, build it up until you get your desired look
