Same here, Christine. I miss those Mark Jacobs gel pencils. They went on and stayed on so well. I’d love to see dupes of that formula, especially if they figure out how to keep the pencils from drying out so fast.
Same re the issue of drying out. All my MJB Highliners except the newest one dried out terribly (I even tried to restore them with a drop or 2 of Duraline, but no real success to be had). Even my newest one is becoming draggy so I’m trying to make a point of using it as much as possible. I have much cheaper pencils from Sephora and UD that last ages longer than the MJ ones.
WP Liquid in colors other than black = the gel highlighters similar to the d/c’d MJ ones.
Kohl pencil liners
Concur!
Light but opaque colorful eye pencils that stay put in the waterline. Love the Lethal cosmetics pot colors, but it’s a hassle having to use brush and they dry out soooo fast
I miss Tarte’s Tarteist clay liner (with the little angle brush) almost every day!! There really was nothing like that formula out there (to me, at least). One tube would last me a year of heavy eyeliner and it never budged, never irritated, and was always gorgeously matte without crinkling. The Bobbi Brown & Melt eyeliners I use now are fine, just not perfect. :C
I agreed. Gel-cream to replace the Marc Jacobs highliners. I’ve yet to find a suitable dupe.
Dear Essence, please bring back your fabulously wonderful, bulletproof, can go 14+ hours potted gel eyeliner Midnight In Paris??? I’m literally begging you, because I’ve tried MAC Blacktrack, but it has an odd warm cast to it, whereas Midnight In Paris is the deepest PURE black gel eyeliner that I ever used! I probably went through over 20 pots of it because I loved it THAT much!🖤🖤🖤
I have to say I’m an eyeliner expert the way some are with mascara I totally have every kind of eyeliner from gel to old fashioned from France cake liner. Hands down for me is the twist up eyeliner. I have 18 different brands, I only use Revlon. It’s easy and applies like a dream all for $7.00. Underrated imo
Yes, I remember when those MJ gel pencils came out – they were so stunning – especially that Peridot shade you use to wear Christine.
A new range of those would be ideal – definately NOT reformulated though.
Yes! Those MJB pencils were SO good, why hasn’t anyone else made one like that?
The only liner that has never smudged and is not disturbed by a lash curler or watery eyes in the Bobbi Brown gel/pot liner. Unfortunately they discontinued several shades. Chocolate Shimmer is my favorite.
I was working through a backlog of eyeliners so I never got to try the MJB liners, I hear SO many people mention them as the one product they would bring back so I’m kind of bummed I never picked one up.
Another vote for the Tarteist Clay liner. It was perfect!!
Easy one, kajals & khols!
