MAC Graphic Content Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eye Liner ($23.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a deep plum-purple with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It seemed overly emollient, which resulted in unevenness and sheerness.

Formula Overview

$23.00/0.01 oz. – $2300.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be “utlra-pigmented, waterproof” and have “24+ hours of wear on lids” and “12 hours of wear on waterlines.” The pigmentation was all over the map–some shades were quite pigmented, others were sheerer or somewhat uneven and had to be layered to look decent.

The texture was smooth with good glide, which made them comfortable to work with on the lower lash line or on the lid, and they weren’t prone to tugging or skipping.

The wear was longer-wearing than the average pencil–between nine and 12 hours of wear on the lid and six to nine hours on the waterline–but certainly not 24+ hours. The more matte shades seemed to last the longest for me. They didn’t smudge on me but faded gradually and appeared thinner over time.
