Eye Pencils - Regular standard sharpenable eye pencils. The original formula. Not for use on the waterline.
Powerpoint Pencils - Waterproof sharpenable eye pencils. Longwearing formula. Not for use on the waterline.
Eye Kohl Pencils - Smudgeable sharpenable eye pencils. Creamy formula, meant for a "smokey look". Intended for and safe for use on the waterline.
Technakohl Pencils - Mechanical eye pencils. Creamy, as well as longwearing. Can be used on the waterline.
Those are the permanent eye pencils. Be aware that every once and a while, MAC does release limited edition pencils, in the four normal formulas, as well as new ones.

I'm trying to figure out which one would be best for my lower waterline. An MA put Fascinating on my waterline and it was awesome. The only problem was that it ran down onto my lashes. Is there any other type of white or really light color that won't run?
Is Fluidline waterline safe?? Some people say yes and some say no.

no they aren't. only eye kohl and technakohl are waterline safe. if they don't work for you, try another brand. there's alot of stuff that's not approved that us artists do, but not at the counter. what we do on our own we do at our own risk.

yes, shame on you!

uh oh ok normally i use smolder (eye khol) on my waterline or engraved (powerpoint) ...engraved lasts longer and smolder is softer but none of them irritates my eyes so im lucky
i tried the technakohl liner in graphblack on my waterline but no color shows up am i doing something wrong? (i thought its because theyre waterproof but powerpoints are too and no problems to get them to show up on my waterline) *weird*

technakohls aren't waterproof. it might just be that your waterline doesn't like em.

The Technakohls aren't technically waterproof, but they are long-wearing. Press harder if you want more color payoff?
