Fine(wine)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Fine(wine) Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.0038 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, though it had a more emollient, creamy consistency that made it more prone to moving the product around as I applied it so it was best to work in fluid, single-stroke motions and then go back where needed. Once it set in place, the product stayed on well for 12 hours on my lower lash line and waterlines, though it was slightly worn on my water lines after 12 hours.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.0038 oz. - $6315.79 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have an ultra-fine tip (2mm) that "glides on precisely" for "all-day wear" that is "waterproof." They are typically nearly opaque to opaque in coverage in one, smooth and fluid line. The consistency is creamy, smooth, and not prone to skipping, while the creaminess ensures that it doesn't tug or pull at the lash line (or water line). I find that some shades apply well on my lower waterline but not the upper waterline (like Blacquer doesn't want to adhere to my waterline at all but Grapevine goes on like butter). They have lasted between eight and 12 hours, depending on placement and level of allergies I'm enduring at a particular moment (my eyes are normally watery but when I'm dealing with more noticeable allergies, I'm always leaking out of the corner of my eye).

(Pink)y Swear

Marc Jacobs Beauty (Pink)y Swear Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.0038 oz.) is a bright, pale pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage in a single pass, which adhered well to my upper and lower water lines along with lower lash line. The consistency was smooth, gel-like, and glided easily across my lash lines without dragging or tugging. It stayed on well for 12 hours on my lower lash line and 10 hours with minimal fading on my water line (but still visibly intact after 12 hours).
