I think I'm probably going to have to wait for some swatches to see what you mean.

Hopefully this can clarify a little.

What she means by "Shimmer" is it has a light reflective gentle metallic quality to it. It catches the light but in a soft way. Suitable for day wear. Adds a glow to the eyes.

The Pearlglide pencils have an overtly "Glitterly sparkle" to them. It has visible, more obvious glitter particles in it (though not chunky as say, the Softsparkle Pencils's glitter effect). The base formula to the Pearlglides actually are a bit metallic already, so the final result is a dramatic liner. Not exactly the usual day wear kind of liner. Catches the light and reflects alot more.

They sound beautiful and great for jazzing up night-time looks, as you suggested. Can we say "Dazzleglass for the eyes", or is that going too far?

Great analogy!!! They are definately dazzle-liners!!

You're going to skip Feline?? But the more people that buy it the more MAC would consider making it permanent!! BUY people BUY!! Feline that is.

i'm only doing this once, so pop open those peepers.

the visual is suppose to be blurry. its not because i can't take pics.

the sparkles didn't show up too great in the darker colors, but believe me, they're there.

the liners look awesome. the shadows on the other hand, not so much. loving the looks of rave, fly-by-blu, wolf & black russian.

 

[CantMAKEUPmyMIND]

Wow. Love the glitter liners, all of them! I've come to the point where I don't NEED everything I love. I think I only NEED Rave. For now.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

OMG look at the liners, they look wet! I love almost all of them...the shadows not so much.

Those liners are ridiculous. Are they smudge proof, let me go back and look (and pray)

Is it because of your eyeshape Erine that the eyeliners don't move? Or are they REALLY smudge-resistant? I've pretty much given up on eyeliners. Even the Urban Decay 24/7 don't stay on me.

BUT I LOVE the look of Wolf, Rave, Fly-By-Blu, Black Russian, and Bank Roll.

I don't really want any of the duos though.

they don't move. i swatched em on my hand, and started rubbing em with my fingers to see if they moved, and they didn't budge. then i washed my hands with soap and water, and they still didn't move. i had to scrub to get them to half way come off.

you know how paint pots dry down and don't move? that's how these puppies are.
