LORAC Front of the Line PRO Eye Pencil ($20.00 for 0.01 oz.) is supposed to be a long-wearing, waterproof pencil eyeliner that is “highly pigmented.” It’s a decent formula, but there are better ones on the market–for a late entry in the market like this, I wanted these to perform better. They’re water-resistant, but they will smudge somewhat if you rub or apply pressure to them with any water–if you just dabbed with a tissue (e.g. you teared up), they hold up fine. The overall wear was on the shorter side, averaging between seven and eight hours, with a waxy consistency that glided well across the skin but sometimes had a faded, muted look applied.

LORAC Aqua Front of the Line PRO Eye Pencil ($20.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a muted blue with a hint of green–not enough to be a teal–and silver sparkle. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one stroke, and it didn’t build up too much beyond that, though it was fairly even applied. It wore well for seven hours before noticeably smudging. Chanel Sweet Star (LE, $29.00) is warmer (90% similar). KVD Beauty Dali (P, $19.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). MAC Siahi (P, $16.00) is darker (85% similar).

LORAC Dark Green Front of the Line PRO Eye Pencil ($20.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a muted, dark forest green with subtle, warm olive undertones and lighter gold and emerald green shimmer. It had semi-sheer pigmentation in a single pass, but it was creamy enough that the color built up well to mostly opaque coverage without becoming uneven. I liked this one the most out of the three I bought. NARS Night Porter (P, $24.00) is darker, cooler (95% similar). Sephora Go For a Ride (DC, $10.00) is brighter, more pigmented, better quality (95% similar). Fenty Beauty Nepturnt (LE, $20.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty O(vert) (56) (P, $26.00) is warmer (90% similar). Chanel Khaki Intense (951) (LE, $34.00) is less shimmery, brighter (90% similar). MAC Swamped (P, $17.00) is lighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Zodiac (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). MAC Devotion (P, $20.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Sephora T-Rex (DC, $10.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Charlotte Tilbury Green Lights (Matte) (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar).

LORAC Nude Front of the Line PRO Eye Pencil ($20.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a light beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in one go, and it had a light-medium creaminess to it that made it easy to apply to the lash line without tugging. I only got seven hours of wear out of this shade before it had migrated/smudged. KVD Beauty Swanly (P, $18.00) is darker (95% similar). MAC Risque (P, $17.00) is darker (90% similar). Makeup Geek Nude (DC, $9.00) is lighter (90% similar). ColourPop HoneyDude (LE, $7.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Sephora Coconut (DC, $10.00) is darker (85% similar). Urban Decay Walk of Shame (P, $20.00) is darker (80% similar). NARS Rue Bonaparte (P, $24.00) is lighter (95% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
