Here is our last eyeliner comparison — blue-based purples!

- MAC Rich Purple Chromagraphic Pencil is a dark, cool-toned purple (Review)
- L’Oreal HIP Violet Volt Chrome Eyeliner is a grayed purple with a metallic sheen. (Review
- Make Up For Ever #11L Aqua Eyes is a violet purple with a satin sheen. (Review)
- Tarina Tarantino Amethyst Android Hyperliner is a violet purple with a satin sheen. It is slightly bluer than Make Up For Ever #11L. (Review)

Thoughts
DUPE ALERT! NARS Manon Eyeliner is a lighter version of MAC Rich Purple Chromagraphic Pencil.
DUPE ALERT! Makeup For Ever #11L Aqua Eyes is a slightly more purple (less blue) than Urban Decay’s Ransom 24/7 Liner–they are the closest in terms of color here, though.
Formula/Wear: NARS Eyeliner is the only one that I have any issues with based on my experience–it just smudges, migrates, and generally is a mess on me but many readers had positive experiences (and others who had similar experiences to mine), so I recommend reading the review for a fuller perspective. MAC’s Chromagraphic Pencil is one of the longest wearing pencils I’ve come across and incredibly pigmented, too.
See more swatches!

Great series! I enjoyed them all. But you missed my favourite eyeliner color: WHITE. Do that, please3...
Sorry, I don't own many white eyeliners.
I like the color of L’Oreal HIP Violet Volt the best, I love darker, greyed colors.
My favourite colours for my eyes! Love 'em all. The whole bunch. The most flattering colour for absolutely any eye colour under the sun.
Okay, these have officially done me in! I want them ALL :P (I'd settle for just Rich Purple, though. Is it ever vivid!)
Lovely! So, of this purple post and the last plummy purple post, which ones are your favorites (and why), Christine?
I don't really have a favorite!
did u ever notice that UD Lust, when applied, matches UD Ransom's paint color and vice versa? Lust is very blue-toned but the outside of the pencil is slightly red toned. and Ransom, tho slightly red-toned has very blue-toned packaging. I swatched on my hand, and each liner matched the opposite's casing (idk what it's actually called) almost perfectly. it's strange.
Are those the ink liners?
No the 24/7 liners.. Maybe they fixed it? lol. I've only had one of each pencil, so maybe when i bought them they'd screwed up somehow.
Hip Violet is the prettiest imo. might just pick this one up
