“Eyes are everything to me.  I have no problem with the rest of the face.  I just think eyes are so expressive.  You can say a lot with your eyes.  The eyes stimulate the other person’s imagination.”

_ Mac Jacobs

I’m not an MUA nor have I ever claimed to be one.  Now that you know I’m just a regular degular shmegular girl who has a real love for makeup you’ll  really like this  Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner review.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner says it offers a waterproof bold & intense color in a matte finish for extreme wear.  It’s being said to be a gel pot eyeliner encased within a crayon.  First of it’s kind, an exclusive to Marc Jacobs Beauty. The brand says the eyeliner should sit in place for an 12-hour wear.  The eyeliner has a built in sharper to help keep a perfect point for a precise look.

The matte finish is prefect for a person who wants a glitter-free and super-rich pigment. They don’t dry instantly.  It does take roughly 15 seconds to dry.  That’s good because that gives you time to play with your look before the highlighter settles.  Or it could be a bad thing because the product could shift on accident.  I like that it’s a waterproof gel formula.  I also like that it  has a built in sharpener however, if you forget to reattach it the sharpener could be lost.

The Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner can be purchased at marcjacobsbeauty.com or sephora.com.  I would say at $25 save your money.  Mac Jacobs Beauty Highliner sized at 0.01 oz  compared to MAC’s pro longwear fluidline  at 0.1 oz for $8 less can’t compare to a pot gel liner.  Yes, the pencil is very convenient and has a super fast drying time.  I can see myself taking this with me to the lobby of a chic hotel as Marc envisioned.  The brand’s claim to be long wearing is very true!  The major perks of the highliner is the sharpener to keep the point sharp.  It really does help in getting that crisp line we all love.  The application was great and I loved how the pencil looked on me.  It’s the price I can’t get past.  If they dropped the sharpener and shorten the pencil a little maybe Marc could  get the cost at $15 maybe. If you’re a Marc Jacobs Beauty fan this gel eye crayon will be worth every penny.

Highliner takes about 15 seconds to set, so if you work quickly with a small smudging brush, you can create an instant smoky eye.
