MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliners.


From top to bottom: Petrol Blue, Black Swan, Black Line.

Black Swan, Black Line, Petrol Blue.
Flash: Black Swan, Black Line, Petrol Blue.


These Pearlglide Intense Eyeliners shades came out a couple of months ago with the Vera collection, I read on some blogs that they are limited editions but there are some sources which states they are permanent. However they are still available online through the MAC website or other stocklists like Debenhams.

In terms of pencil eyeliners, I usually stick to the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils. They are still my HG pencil liners, but the Pearlglides come a very close second.

The Pearlglides are ridiculously creamy and they simply just glide on without any effort whatsoever. The only downside with them being so creamy is that they are really fragile, I dropped one recently by accident and the nib almost completely snapped off :/
Other than that small con that probably won't matter to anyone else, they are amazing.
Super pigmented, long lasting and a very intense colour. The swatches above shows how intense the colours are with just one light swipe, if you like the intensity of these eyeliners, then definitely try them. If not, go for the Urban Decay ones where you can build up the intensity.

Here are some quick swatches of both MAC Pearlglides and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencils. Note that the Urban Decay swatches show the intensity after two or three layers, I did this to show how intense the shade can get compared to one swipe of the Pearlglides.

  4. oh my god these colours... looks so pretty!!! I want Black Swan... I tend to love dark blues for no particular reason. The last two are really great colours too though I don't think they'd suit me personally.
