Pro Longwear Eyeliner

By Ana Maria 4 years ago.

MAC Devotion is a beautiful dark army green, too bad the formula isn't the greatest. The green is neutral, slightly cool, and compliments very well my dark brown eyes. From far it might almost appear black, but overall has hints of olive/brown. It's almost matte, with a very faint pearl finish, barely noticeable, but enough to be a little more flattering than a boring matte. The formula is interesting; it's creamy but dry at the same time. It doesn't tug on the skin, it's a soft pencil, but it doesn't leave traces like a cream formula. It glides easy on the lid/skin for lining, but it's not creamy enough to be applied all over the lid. It's awful on the waterline, in the sense I can get the product to apply... the wetness of the waterline simply makes the formula not work. On the lid it applies sheer from the starters, but it builds up easily. Once dried it stays put all day, I need a good make-up remover to get it off. The pencil sharpens well; the tip usually comes up not that sharp, not the best for thin lines.

Like Christine, I consider the Pro Longwear Eyeliner disappointing. I used the `Rich Experience` color, which is a beautiful dark warm brown (matte from my point of view), that puts a nice emphasys on brown eyes, without being as harsh as a black eyeshadow. The pencil glides smoothly, since it's a creamier formula; it's still not very creamy (not the kind that you will put all over the lid), so I can get thinner or thicker lines as I wish. It's not opaque from the first layer on the eyelids, but the opacity can be build. On the waterline this pencil doesn't last more than 2-3 hours, than disappears. On the lid and under eye it starts fading during the day. This isn't long-lasting at all. I found this pencil much more easier to sharpen than other MAC eye pencils/liners.
