Metaphorically speaking, the MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liners, which are members of the MAC permanent line and available now in seven $16.50 shades, have pure pearlglide power. They’re pigmented eye pencils with a smooth, creamy formula that contains a touch of glittery sparkle, and because of that, I don’t wear them on my water lines (because of the glitter), but I do love ’em on my lash lines.
Have you played with these before?
The smooth, smudgy formula glides across the skin like a gel liner, then sets in about three minutes, after which time it doesn’t budge for up to 12 hours.
I use these all the time as part of my layering stack for winged liner, where I start by applying a layer of one of the Pearglides first, then add a coordinating powder eyeshadow on top, then a gel or liquid liner on top of that. Even from the bottom of the stack, a little of the glitter still shows through, so you get a subtle sparkling effect!
(They also look incredible smudged out along the lower lash lines.)
Check ’em out one of these days if you haven’t before. They’re permanent, so they’re always available online and at MAC stores and counters.

These are all stunning! I’m on a real colorful eye pencil kick at the moment, so yeah, these are going on the wish list for sure!
Wow, they are less expensive than UD!
These are gorgeous!
I’ve had Lord it Up for several years, and it really is wonderful! I think I may have a couple others, but I have so many pencils I need to check and see!! They have a teal one I am sure I don’t have so I must get it… 😀
I have a few of them and really enjoy them on my lower lash line.
I have Petrol and for some reason it breaks all.the.time. It’s a bit old now but it was doing it right after I bought it :/
I looooove the Pearglide eye liners, they definitely need more love ’cause they are just amazing, I love how smooth and pigmented they are and how well they last on the eyes! Major love! <3
Love,

Ooh! Lord It Up looks so pretty. I really love a good brown liner with interesting stuff going on. Need to put this on my list to try out.
I wasn’t even aware that these existed. Then again, MAC has so many products that I feel that I only know about maybe a tenth of their products.
Wow these are soo pretty. I always wrote them off as I was worried they’d be too glittery but they just have such a nice sheen. I might need to add a couple to my wishlist 😛
I have Designer purple, Black Swan and Petrol blue. I really like them but haven’t used them lately . I remember the purple one hurting my eyes so now I’m careful to keep these away from the waterline !
I have two of these and the glitter really irritates my eyes 🙁 the colors and pigment pay off is nice, but I can’t really use them.
Petrol Blue and Designer Purple are so pretty.
Wow! These are so pigmented, Petrol Blue looks the best! I have a thing for blue these days! 😀

I love the Pearlglide liners so much, I was so happy when they were made permanent! Blackline and Undercurrent are my faves. 🙂
WOW the texture on those looks incredible! The colors are gorgeous. I love the brown- but honestly I have a couple NYX pencils (the mechanical one in Bronze comes to mind) that look pretty darn similar. I can’t decide if I like mechanical or standard better! standard wastes a LOT of product, but you can’t get a sharp point on mechanical!
I love how vibrant they are!
I love these! I ended up trying Petrol Blue and Designer Purple when MAC repromoted them in the Archie’s Girls collection and I’ve been hooked on them ever since. I like smudging them on my bottom lid for a nice shimmering pop of color. I receive tons of compliments every time I wear them
