Flourish Me Deep

MAC Flourish Me Deep Kajal Crayon ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep black with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. The Kajal Crayon formula is designed to “be applied in the waterline for bold, saturated colour in one easy swipe” with long-wear. It had good color coverage in one stroke, and it was fully opaque with just a touch more. The consistency was smooth without being wet or waxy, yet it felt soft and smooth enough against the waterline that it was comfortable to apply while still getting good coverage. It wore well for eight and a half hours on my waterline and ten hours on my lower lash line.

Flourish Me Bold

MAC Flourish Me Bold Kajal Crayon ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark cobalt blue with cool undertones and barely-there sheen. It had mostly opaque pigmentation in one stroke with a very smooth consistency. It didn’t feel waxy or particularly soft (as in mushy), almost like a soft powder pencil, so it applied easily to the waterline and did not tug at all while it deposited great coverage on the waterline. This shade lasted for eight hours on my waterline and ten hours on my lower lash line.

Flourish Me Beautiful

MAC Flourish Me Beautiful Kajal Crayon ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, eggplant purple with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one stroke, and the consistency was soft and smooth but didn’t feel too soft or creamy–it glided on with ease but never seemed like it needed to dry. It went on well on the waterline, and it lasted for eight hours on the waterline and ten hours on the lower lash line.

Flourish Me Vibrant

MAC Flourish Me Vibrant Kajal Crayon ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a bright, medium aqua-teal with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was smooth without being waxy or creamy, so while it never tugged and was comfortable to apply even to the more delicate waterline, it didn’t smudge or need to set either. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one stroke, which was buildable to opaque coverage in two passes. This shade lasted for eight hours on my waterline and ten hours on my lower lash line.
