Formula Overview
$23.00/0.01 oz. - $2300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "utlra-pigmented, waterproof" and have "24+ hours of wear on lids" and "12 hours of wear on waterlines." The pigmentation was all over the map--some shades were quite pigmented, others were sheerer or somewhat uneven and had to be layered to look decent.
The texture was smooth with good glide, which made them comfortable to work with on the lower lash line or on the lid, and they weren't prone to tugging or skipping.
The wear was longer-wearing than the average pencil--between nine and 12 hours of wear on the lid and six to nine hours on the waterline--but certainly not 24+ hours. The more matte shades seemed to last the longest for me. They didn't smudge on me but faded gradually and appeared thinner over time.

Because I already have my perfect deep brown and black long-wearing, richly pigmented, and smooth, easy applying eyeliners, I’m good. But, even 10 hours is good since I don’t know of too many people who even keep their makeup on any longer than that! Therefore, the very basic Sick Tat Bro and Glide Or Die are great for the average bear!
Yep, I’ll order all three. Eyeliner is a weakness and I adore these. Perfection!
Interesting names, but aside from that – these are not too bad for matte eye pencils.
I’m curious as to how any of these last on the upper waterline/tightline. I’m desperate for something – anything, really – to replace the Marc Jacobs skinny liners (I use the black and dark blue ones) which lasted really well and I really liked them so much.
Not the worst but not amazing! 🙁 The regular MJB eyeliners wore better on the waterline for me!
So MAC swapped over to Colourpop’s manufacturer for this run?
