I was impressed with the color and ease of application! The color Skip the Wait List is a sparkly brown with gold glitter, and it blends in beautifully when you actually use it on your eyes. It's very smooth and easy to apply. You can fill in the base of your lashes, and you can also apply it nicely on the outer corners of your eyes with a little adjustment using a thin cotton swab. I've used Canmake and Lilimeu before, and they were good, but I like MAC's colors because they're unusual but easy to use, and they're easier to apply. Also, I've had trouble with my eye makeup coming off easily, but this didn't cause me any problems!
I probably use about half of the colors. That's how much I like them. This eyeliner is a little thick, so I use a thin-tipped liquid eyeliner around the edges of my eyes (copying Yusuke Kawakita's idea). It doesn't smudge or pool in my double eyelids, even after a few tears. I don't think I've bought any other products so many times. However, Stay the Night does stick to my lower eyelid after a short time, turning it into a panda-like mess. Maybe it's just me, but... This eyeliner with pearlescent content doesn't bleed underneath, so I use almost all dark pearlescent colors. I especially recommend Hellvent and Isn't It Ironic?. Both are not affected by personal color or eyeshadow color, and are particularly durable. Hellvent is a vibrant, deep green, but it blends in surprisingly well!
It's great that it draws smooth lines, but it always breaks and becomes difficult to use. Still, it's so comfortable to draw with that I keep buying more and more.
It draws smoothly without much pressure and has good color payoff. The tip is thick, so it's not ideal for drawing thin lines, but it's easy to use for filling in the gaps between your lashes. I have deep-set eyelids, so the lines I draw on my lashes always end up disappearing, but the lines I draw between my lashes didn't come off until the evening.
It's easy to apply, and if you apply it and then quickly spread it with a flat brush, you can create a flicked-up line. It's waterproof and should last a long time, but even when I apply it with a MAC eye base, it doesn't last. I don't know why. I'll ask at the store. If it lasts, it's a very user-friendly product.
