MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline

Ok, so I went to check out the Cham Pale collection last weekend. Overall, the collection was pretty good but, the lipgelees and lipsticks looked a lil' too frosty on me so, I chucked those. I went particularly to pick up Feline Eye Kohl ($14.50).

My two cents on Feline:

This is definitely one of the blackest liners I've tried so far. It's a rich, deep black. Its creamy enough to adhere to the waterline which also means it smudges. Does not slide off the waterline like the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils but, smudges like a bitch. It does not actually 'set ' so, I suggest setting it with a translucent powder or a dark eyeshadow. I did not have any irritations whatsoever. I knew it was safe since, it was Kohl.

You would love feline if you like eyeliners that are really, really black and stick to the waterline. It is creamy but, not as creamy as Stila or Urban Decay. But, there is definitely no tug or pull while applying. To make it last longer, I applied it and applied Urban Decay's 'Zero' on top of it to set it. I would not classify this as long-wearing either.

You would not like Feline if you hate eyeliners that smudge. Setting it is the key here without which, we would end up with raccoon eyes. Since this is formulated to work with Smokey eyes and is meant to smudge, I wouldn't complain much.

Comparison b/w feline and zero
I like feline a lot especially, for a simple smudgy, everyday look but, I won't say it's something that you need to have 2-3 backups of. It is easily dupe-able but still, nice to have one. I would not stock up but, I might re-purchase if I run out and MAC re-promotes this again as part of some other collection(I see it gets re-promoted at least 2-3 times a year). Overall, a great eyeliner if you are a fan of those Kohl-rimmed eyes.I am a sucker for intense black eyeliners and I don't particularly have a problem if its a *little* on the natural, smudgy side : -)

Have you tried Feline? Do you like it? I'd love to know!

  1. Oh I definitely was going to pick this up yesterday, but I realized I didn't have enough cash and had left my debit card at home. I'm definitely gonna get it, if its still there, that is. I have smolder, which is the less intense version of this kohl. I love it, smudging and all. Its amazing or the waterline.

  2. AOYV - I am not sure how long its gonna be available at MAC counters coz when I went there were only 2 left! :( Worst case, you can get it online. I like this better than smoulder since it smudges lesser :)
