MAC Blue Fountain Fluidline
MAC Blue Fountain Fluidline ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “dark green blue.” It’s a medium-dark blue with subtle, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single stroke, and it was buildable to mostly opaque coverage in two to three layers. On me, it lasted for twelve hours without fading or migrating. Lethal Cosmetics Threshold (P, $15.50) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Mountain Air (P, $20.00) is more shimmery, darker (95% similar). MAC Blue Peep (P, $16.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar).

MAC Darkness of Calm Fluidline ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “dark espresso.” It’s a muted, blackened brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish–just a little sheen to it. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly creamy consistency that was easy to draw lines with but didn’t take forever to set. Once dry, the color lasted for twelve hours with no movement or breakdown. Urban Decay Smokeout (LE, $22.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). ColourPop Bustier (LE, $7.00) is darker (95% similar). MAC Lowlights (P, $16.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). MAC Avenue (DC, $16.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Local Wares (DC, $16.00) is warmer (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty (Iron)y (P, $25.00) is cooler (90% similar). NARS Last Frontier (P, $24.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Blacquer Coffee (P, $25.00) is darker (90% similar). Melt Cosmetics Spliff (P, $19.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). ColourPop Bustier (LE, $7.00) is lighter, cooler (85% similar). Urban Decay Demolition (P, $22.00) is warmer (85% similar). NARS Last Frontier (P, $24.00) is darker (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
MAC Palm Tree Fluidline ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “charcoal with pearl.” It’s a dark gray with silver and bluish-teal pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage with a moderately creamy consistency that applied well without skipping or dragging. It had the same long-wear (twelve hours) that I typically get with Fluidlines. MAC Metropolis (LE, $16.00) is darker, warmer (95% similar). Chanel Nero Vulcanico (939) (P, $34.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Chanel Gris Scintillante (P, $29.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar). MAC Clay (P, $17.00) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Steelpoint (P, $17.00) is warmer (90% similar). Sephora Starry Sky (DC, $10.00) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Melt Cosmetics 125 Years (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar). Stila Triggerfish (P, $22.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty (Stone)Fox (58) (P, $26.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar).

Wow, all of the colors are just gorgeous! I really like Blue Fountain, but I won’t wear it often enough to justify the price, but the other 2 are classic colors. I might go for one of them, maybe Palm Tree, or whichever one I can snag on launch date. I like how it’s a dark gray with some pearl, not as harsh looking as a straight black
I like Palm Tree a lot!
From the press release description I thought Blue Fountain would be more green/teal. It’s just similar enough to UD Gonzo that I won’t get it.
Now Palm Tree on the other hand, I actually really like. I might get that if I remember 🙂
I was surprised it was as blue as it was!
Ooh, love the shimmery charcoal of Palm Tree! x
Me too!
If I were to get one it would be Palm Tree as it is dark without being black. Also it is different than any eyeliner I have.
Always good to have something unique in the stash!
Hi,
How does Palm Tree compare to MAC Midnight Snack from a few years ago? They seem very similar based on the swatches. Thanks…
Midnight Snack is cooler, bluish!
I’d like to get the Palm Tree. Are these packaged anyway special or regular black mac?
They have gold lids/caps!
Hmm, I sure do wish Palm Tree had a green reflect or green something to it! Grays *usually* make me look sallow and sick, although I am able to pull off UD Dagger & Slant? And UD Poison too!
I may try out Darkness Of Calm, though. Because a shimmery deep brown is something I know I’d get a ton of use out of.
Hope you like Darkness of Calm!
Interesting, I thought I would like the blue one better, but I don’t. It’s too bright for me. But I love the charcoal colour. It is lovely.
Aw!
Palm Tree is amazing!
It is!
Definitely have to have Palm Tree. Glad to see it is not too similar to MAC Little Black Bow, although I will have to look too see if I have MAC Avenue. Fluidlines are my favorite, so it’s hard to keep them straight!
There are so many of them, too!
Palm tree is awesome. I would totally buy this, I never go in for MAC LE products though. Too much of a hassle IMO. I also wonder wtf is up with the names MAC gives some of its products. Palm tree for a sparkly gunmetal shade? With no green whatsoever? It’s like their new Orchid being orange and Oxblood being nude earlier this year. I wonder if they get a kick out of confusing people with their random names.
I like Blue Fountain! It’s like Blue Peep’s darker cousin 🙂
Palm Tree is gorgeous! I think I’ll try to get it.
Yayy!
