Zenith/Can You Chill

MAC Zenith/Can You Chill Powerpoint Eye Pencil (Dual-Ended) ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) contains a sparkling gray paired with a purplish, navy blue. If you’re someone who likes almost faded color on the lash line, this formula might work, but it just didn’t deliver even coverage, lacked pigmentation (and it was supposed to be pigmented!), and was not the most comfortable formula to apply–not to the point of tugging painfully but not that emollient either. The only good thing was that they didn’t wear terribly.

Zenith

Zenith is a light-medium gray with subtle, warmer undertones and flecks of silver and gold micro-sparkle. The consistency didn’t feel overly textured, despite being am ore sparkly shade, and instead, felt waxier with light glide. It had sheer, uneven coverage that applied poorly, as it did not build up well (it was almost worse built up!) and created a thick, uneven layer of product and color. It stayed on for seven hours before thinning/fading, which is always a weird “upside” to a product that goes on so poorly.

Can You Chill

Can You Chill is a muted, deeper navy blue with cooler undertones and flecks of violet micro-shimmer throughout. It had semi-sheer color coverage that applied unevenly in a single layer. I was able to build it up to semi-opaque coverage, but it had a more faded, washed-out look to it when applied because it just didn’t layer that well. The texture had light glide, though it felt waxy to the point where it was like more wax depositing than color at times. It lasted for eight hours before fading visibly on me.
