It's called at your own risk. Some people do it and have no problems at all.

Hmm. I was thinking about this quad but just on these swatches alone I think I'll skip it in favour of the grey quad from All About Orange. Thanks!Here's the Masat Al Lail quad. It was originally called Gentle Fume with the Smoke Signals collection.

Here's a very nice look I found on youtube using that blue quad.

I was thinking about that today. I put Hi-Def Cyan in my waterline, and then remembered it wasn't waterline safe, so i wiped it off. Instead, i lined my eyes and lips with it, then topped my lips with Grey Friday (i used too much blue - will try again with less).
For the fashion industry, depending on the situation, models may not wear the same photo-shoot makeup for 8 hours or more. If they're wearing different outfits, the makeup artist often changes their makeup.
We non-models, on the other hand, put on our makeup as we get ready to go out and wear it all day, maybe refreshing it a time or two. If we work 8 hours + lunch + transit, that could be 11 hours or more. So if there's a problem with long term contact, we are more likely to suffer.
On the other hand, there are also potential cumulative effects. That is, using something once may not be hazardous, but if worn repeatedly the chemicals can build up in the body and do something to us later - in 10 or 20 years.
I don't know which colorants are in Hi-Def Cyan. Of the 7 lines of ingredients on the box, 5 are taken up with colorants. Most makeup lists main ingredients and then the colorants - only need a tiny bit to color - are often listed at the end after a ± (plus-minus sign) which means it may or may not contain any of the following. So users don't really know exactly which ones are in which products. To get the Cyan color, clearly the cosmetic chemists blended several. I checked out most of the colorants which have varying degrees of concern.
When i am feeling up to it, i use the Environmental Working Group's website about chemicals in cosmetics and skin care products:
http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
They rate ingredients as to how safe they are based on scientific research. For some ingredients, however, there is not enough research into their safety for human use or their effects on the environment. Your eyeliner may not be very big, but the manufacturer uses hundreds of pounds of chemicals (or more). And if thousands of women are washing it down the drain, that can accumulate, too.

Landscape Green and Hi-Def Cyan Chromagraphic pencils are safe for use AROUND the eye, just not in the waterline.
Process Magenta, however, is listed as NOT safe for use anywhere in or around the eye. Someone wasn't paying attention...

I agree. The average consumer is going to see that promo pic and assume that as Mac is promoting the use of the products that way, it's perfectly safe.

I've worn Hi-Def Cyan on the waterline a dozen times and never had a problem. :dunno: I'll probably buy Landscape Green and do the same b/c I need a color like that. That and the orange shadow might just be all I get.

Like others have mentioned this collection reminds me of the Mickey Contractor Collection. I love the warm and bright colors they are right up my alley. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the individual eyeshadows. Farasha (matte bright deep orange)[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif], Hajar Karim (matte clean warm green), and Banafsaji (VP deep purple blue) are the ones that stand out to me. I'm not buying into the Parrot craziness. I love teals so I'm sure that in this huge stash of mine I have a dupe. Don't get me wrong I will try to purchase it but I will not be hunting it down. Since I skipped Baking Beauties I have some extra money to spend on this. I've used Hi-Def Cyan on my waterline before but like others have said its a use at your own risk sort of thing. If my sister so much as looks at that color and thinks about her waterline her eyes start watering. I would suggest using it on your lower lids instead with maybe a nude on the actual waterline.[/FONT]

I understand people are going to wear it on the waterline reguardless, but when it comes to advertising it is another story.

I was paying attention alright
Lol Any warning whether its waterline or eye area is enough for me to declare it not eye safe. Things do move around on the eye with wear... Now that's just IMO, but I get annoyed with MAC about this issue from time to time. It annoys me that what Mac says vs what they display is a little misleading. I just find it a little shady is all...IMO
