Risque

By Ana Maria 1 year ago.

MAC Risque is a soft creamy eyeliner, which I got to use on my waterline. The color is a cream-beige with white undertone, which ended up not being ideal to complement my NC20 complexion; it looks more natural than an white eyeliner, but it's still pale and not my ideal "nude". The finish is matte, but the color isn't opaque; it has some transparency, but the formula is too creamy to try to build it up. The formula it's not too waxy, but it's slightly emollient, so sometimes it just sat in my waterline. It starts fading easily, especially if you have wet teary eyes (like me). It's a light, yellowed beige with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in one stroke, which was buildable to mostly opaque color with two layers. Like Bare Asset, it was creamy without being too waxy or too emollient, and it also wore well for seven and a half hours. See comparison swatches/ view dupes. (I don't have single swatches available in the gallery, as the original swatches are quite old, but this seems quite similar to MAC NC15/NW20.)
