Marc Jacobs Beauty Gold Edition Highliners Reviews & Swatches

Oh My Gold (102)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Oh My Gold (102) Highliner Gel Crayon ($26.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium gold with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic sheen with light sparkle throughout. The texture felt smooth and glided readily across my lash line, but it didn’t deposit color as evenly as other shades in the formula–I think that added bit of larger sparkle pushed the base color around a bit.

It had semi-opaque coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. It stayed on well for 10 hours and was actually harder to remove than the less-sparkly shades in the range.

Top Brass (104)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Top Brass (104) Highliner Gel Crayon ($26.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium copper with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. There were fine sparkles woven throughout the product, which were fine enough not to feel gritty as it was applied to my lower lash line, but they were more visible. It had rich color coverage in a single pass, which applied evenly to my lash line without dragging. The texture felt more velvety than creamy (so less “wet” in feel) and was comfortable to work with. It lasted nicely for 10 hours before thinning slightly.

Glittersweet (106)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Glittersweet (106) Highliner Gel Crayon ($26.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium bronze with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had noticeable sparkle particles throughout (but it’s not glitter), and I didn’t sense the texture of the sparkles as I applied it, though it seemed to be more noticeable as I removed the product at the end (larger chunks came off).

It had excellent pigmentation that applied fairly evenly to my lower lash line, but I had to be careful not to overlap the strokes too much or else some product was pushed around and created a smidgen of unevenness. It wore well for 10 hours before fading slightly. I noticed this shade was a bit harder to remove than other Highliners.

Olive You (108)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Olive You (108) Highliner Gel Crayon ($26.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a deep, olive green with muted, warm undertones and a mix of emerald green and olive pearl that gave it a metallic finish. It had rich color payoff in a single stroke, which adhered evenly and applied smoothly to my lower lash line. The consistency glided on but didn’t feel overly emollient. It stayed on nicely for 10 hours before fading slightly.

Pewter Please (110)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Pewter Please (110) Highliner Gel Crayon ($26.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a light-medium taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had very faint sparkle woven throughout but was more metallic than it was sparkly. The texture was smooth, more velvety than creamy, so it glided easily across my lash line but didn’t feel wet. It had opaque color coverage that adhered evenly and lasted well for 10 hours before showing signs of fading.
