MAC Iced Heather/Kerala Sun Powerpoint Eye Pencil (Dual-Ended) Review, Photos, Swatches

Iced Heather/Kerala Sun
MAC Iced Heather/Kerala Sun Powerpoint Eye Pencil (Dual-Ended) ($18.50 for 0.07 oz.) contains a light silver and light gold. Each side is almost the equivalent to a full-sized Powerpoint Eye Pencil (0.04 oz.), so there’s actually a lot of value here. I wish that the formula was more pigmented and a bit creamier, which I think would help deliver more even coverage.

Iced Heather
Iced Heather is a light silver with subtle, cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage in a single layer that was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation, but I couldn’t seem to layer it to full coverage. The texture was waxier, so it wasn’t uncomfortable to use, but it was harder to apply evenly, especially when layered. The eyeliner wore well for eight and a half hours and seemed to be waterproof.

Kerala Sun
Kerala Sun is a soft gold with warm, yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation in a single stroke, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage that wasn’t too uneven. I wish there was a little more creaminess to the formula to help it go on more evenly and smoothly from the get-go, though. The texture was firmer and waxy enough not to tug, but it just didn’t deliver richness to the lash line. This shade stayed on well for nine hours before fading noticeably, though it did not seem to run or feather when it came into contact with water.

I’m sad that these weren’t as pigmented as I had hoped for, as the shades themselves would’ve made for some fab inner corner highlights when my acidic tears can break down everything else. I did buy the Mole Brown/ Bordeauxline duo to intensify lower lashline blow outs.
This one looks really similar to the White/Gold Tom Ford duo liner that’s in this year’s Soleil collection :O
I loved the gold shade, but the silver was a bit meh. I think I would have prefered a nice taupe at the other end of the gold….
