Marc Jacobs Lollipop (86) Highliner Gel Eye Crayon ($25.00 for 0.01 oz.) is described as a “cherry pink shimmer.” It’s a brightened, fuchsia pink with warm, reddish undertones and a cooler-toned, iridescent pink shimmer. It had good pigmentation a single pass, while the texture was lightly creamy and easy to apply. On, it lasted for ten and a half hours without fading or migrating. MAC Funfare (P, $16.00) is less shimmery. Chanel Berry Lucky (LE, $29.00) is darker. Urban Decay Woodstock (LE, $19.00) is very similar. MAC Process Magenta (P, $16.00) is darker, less shimmery. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Marc Jacobs Sunset (74) Highliner Gel Eye Crayon ($25.00 for 0.01 oz.) is described as a “golden bronze shimmer.” It’s a brightened, medium-dark golden copper-brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had fairly good color payoff in one pass, and it was buildable to fully opaque coverage with about a layer and a half of product. This shade was previously released in last year’s holiday set, but it is back and permanent. The color wore well for ten hours without fading or thinning. MAC Brassy (P, $16.00) is more gold. MAC Brass Band (P, $16.00) is similar. Sephora Collection Sun Tan (08) (P, $9.00) is yellower. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.

Jury is still out for me on the pink. Looks more wearable that I would have thought. I have to grab the Sunset pencil. I have dupes, but I love this formula because it just squashes so nicely on my lower lash line. I think another reader commented on the inability to properly sharpen these pencils. I personally never do because I’m ok with the thickness of the pencil, but I have a pronounced and heavier lower lid so do not need the finer line.

I’m slowly falling in love with the Highliners in the more ‘unusual’ colours! All those pinks, oranges and coppers look amazing on the lower lashline.
Are they fairly smudge- and waterproof? My eyes are water easily, so everything I wear on the lower lashline has to hold up really well.

I’m wearing Lollipop today and it broke the first time I used it! Luckily I was able to smash the broken bit into a spare lid and used a flat eyeliner brush to apply it. I got a good wing doing it that way, at least.

Torn about Lollipop! I have UD Woodstock, but as a liquid liner. One one hand, liquid and pencil have such different applications (at least IMO), but on the other hand, how many hot pink eyeliners do I need?

Let’s be real, I’m probably going to cave and get them both!

I like these. Ever since I watched Lorac’s video with their summer collection, I’ve become obsessed with trying to create a wearable eye look with pinks 🙂

Usually one of two ways: in a fairly thick line along the upper lashes (sometimes flick, sometimes not), and then a thin line of something dark right at the lashes; or a normal size line along the lashes, smudged, with a sheer shimmer/glitter powder shadow dusted over top. UD’s Bobby Dazzle is good for that, or a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash shadow. A rose gold looks good, and then I might smudge a gold liner along the bottom lashes to tie it all together.

I like the Orange Crush with the Lollipop! Paired with your neutral eye, it shows a way for people who aren’t comfortable with color to incorporate it into a wearable look.
