MAC El Dorado Eye Kohl
MAC El Dorado Eye Kohl ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “bold gold.” It’s a medium-dark gold with warm, bronzy undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage in one stroke, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage in two layers. The texture was firm but not stiff, and it didn’t drag or feel uncomfortable to apply. The color lasted for eight hours on my lower lash line. ColourPop Captivating (LE, $7.00) is warmer (95% similar). NARS Campo de' Fiori (P, $24.00) is lighter (95% similar). Make Up For Ever ME42 Metallic Bronze (P, $21.00) is lighter (95% similar). MAC $$$ (P, $17.00) is lighter (90% similar). NARS Altiplano (P, $26.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Sephora Girls Night Out (PiP, $10.00) is lighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Scorch (DC, $22.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). MAC Handforged (P, $16.00) is lighter (95% similar).

MAC Paragon Eye Kohl ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “champagne gold.” It’s a light-medium, peachy gold with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good coverage in one pass, and the texture was firm but not sharp. It didn’t drag or tug on the lash line, but it isn’t a waxy or creamy eyeliner either. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. Estee Lauder Pink Gold (P, $28.00) is warmer (95% similar). Zoeva Myth (P, $7.50) is lighter (95% similar). Estee Lauder Pearl (P, $28.00) is lighter (90% similar). Maybelline Rose Quartz (P, $9.99) is more shimmery, darker (85% similar).

What’s not to love about a gold eye pencil. Champagne gold works very well with my complexion.. so count me inspired and I’m pulling out my Zoeva dupe this morning for today’s look 😀
There should be more champagne-hued eyeliners… truly.
Yeah, getting Myth in my order, whenever. I have been being fiscally responsible for change, and putting that off.
Myth is very creamy and reflective. Makes for a killer inner corner. Will probably buy a backup with next Z order.
Both shades look beautiful but I’m loving Paragon. I’m already imagining how pretty it would look in my inner corners
Paragon should be very versatile!
El Dorado looks great for summer.
Agreed!
Both look very pretty. For some reason they both look like they’d rip my waterline apart though, not sure why I feel that way, haha.
Wasn’t uncomfortable to use on the waterline, actually!
El Dorado’s really beautiful! I like how it’s a warm bronzy gold, great for day or night, don’t see anything like it in my stash, will grab
Nice!
Both are really pretty, so I’m probably going to pick them up. Paragon reminds me of a more natural I Get No Kick liner, which come sometimes read too pearly on my lower waterline.
It definitely has similarity to I Get No Kick!
Both are very pretty.
Agreed!
Unfortunately this el dorado does not Look As good As the discontinued urban decay eldorado
Aw, that is too bad!
Paragon is nice. I wish it was a smidge lighter or cooler though.
I could see that!
The El Dorado pencil is just beautiful. A gorgeous colour.
It is very summery!
Dang it! Looks like I have to pick up El Dorado once it’s out because it looks REALLY similar to the discontinued UD Baked liner.
Yayyy!
Hello Christine, Can you compare Paragon with MAC I Get No Kick Kohl? I tried to search and compare them but could not find a swatch of I Get No Kick.
They seem similar, maybe less pink than I Get No Kick.
