MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan Review – Happy Belated Ganesh Chaturthi to all of you. May the lord bless all of us with loads of happiness and blessings. I was heading for a party last weekend and choose to wear my little black dress for it. While I was running through the stack of my black eyeliners I picked up the beautiful MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan. It is a dark greyish black pencil with silver shimmers to complete my look for the evening. The pencil was actually a gift for Christmas from my BFF and was a limited edition pencil. I paired up my look with silver shoes and a little sling silver bag. The output did make the heads turn 😉 I so wish to share my experience of the pencil with all you beautiful gals on Tipsoye.

“Make up Art Cosmetics” or MAC is a very popular range of cosmetics from Toronto, Canada and is always in the wish list of every girl who loves make up. MAC Pearl Glide intense pencils provide rich luxurious color with a touch of shimmer and sparkle. The pencils are available in various colors and are similar yet smoother than the color bar Iglide pencils in texture. This particular pencil MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan was a limited edition during Christmas with a blue packing. However the same is available in the regular line also with the default black MAC packing. Check out my MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan Review.

My experience with MAC Pearl Glide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan
MAC cosmetics as a gift is sure to send every girl on the ninth cloud. So was I when I received this beautiful packaged MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan as gift for Christmas. It was a great choice of color, beautiful dark greyish black with tiny little silver shimmers which cannot go wrong for any girl. The color is best for all parties Indian or western. The consistency is impressive and is easy to use even for a beginner.

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan regularly comes in a black matte finish packaging and is available in their regular line. However the limited edition one had the blue packaging. The Pencil is made of wood and has a plastic cap which fits tightly. The end of the pencil however has a black tip which makes it easy to identify the color of pencil which is black in this case. The texture of the eye liner is very creamy and is highly pigmented. The pencil glides on smoothly without any tugs or pulls on the eyelid.

Once applied the MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan could be smudged with a soft brush for a softer look. But I prefer an intense look and never smudge the same. It sets quickly and stays put easily for 8 to 9 hours. The color does not transfer to the upper crease of the eyelid even which are oily. I have experienced this problem with few other eyeliner pencils which transfer to my crease within an hour of application but this beauty stays on decently in its place.

It can also be used as an eye shadow and applied all over the eyelids for an intense smokey look as the color is dark and deep. MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Black Swan gives a nice finish and can be made dramatic using a winged eyeliner. The shimmers do not transfer near the eye area and do not look cheap or chunky. It did reminded me of the Color bar iglide pencils but these ones are more smooth and creamy. I do not prefer to apply them on the water line as they have shimmer in them. Any oil based make up remover or wipes can easily remove this eye liner. It is a must have for me and I am sure you too will love to own one for yourself. Now with the festive season beginning I strongly recommend you to try this beauty and own it.

I like shimmer kohl. They add instant drama. This one reminds me the colorbar i glide range. Nice review 🙂
Thanks Taneesha. I havent tried on the waterline as its not advisable since it has shimmers. It is more smoother than iglide.
