MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner in Undercurrent Review and Swatches
By Contributor: Agnirupa
Spring is comingggggggg! Pardon me but I have always been a spring chick. The balanced weather, the new leaves, the special breeze gets to my head pretty easily and I dance around like a happy bunny hunting down my neon and bright shades and yeahh green eyeshadows, green eye pencils, kohl, nail paints. You get the green gist? On one of my recent MAC raids I came across this particular eye pencil crayon, got fixated by it and no, could not leave the store till I made my purse cry. But well am glad I did! Its my new spring addition- MAC Undercurrent eyeliner which I will review and swatch today!
MAC Claims: MAC describes Undercurrent as a blue-based teal with green-gold and teal shimmer

The color is sheer fantasy! I am a glitter-mad person. So I just stare at this color and keep staring on and on till my mom’s screams tear me away. Its such a pretty teal green with millions of green gold shimmers and glitters it looks absolutely magical and spring or no spring am in love with this one!
The pigmentation is OMG. Aa feather light swipe yields a rich opaque color be it on oily lids or hands for swatches. MAC is MAC! The other ranges of eye kohls and pencils though haven’t cut the deal with me. They are a tad hard IMO.

The texture is amazziinggggggg.. those who have used the pearlglide intense pencils know the buttery smooth silky texture which takes as much effort to apply as it takes for you to blow off an eyelash from your hand on a breezy day. The staying power is- forever. No seriously it lasts on as long as I want it to..8-9 hours till I make it budge with my remover!
The pearlglide eyeliners come in the regular pencil packaging with their matte slim body and a color-coded end. Too soft in texture though, so you need to have time and patience if you need to sharpen these beauties.

The pros of MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Undercurrent:
Nice sleek color-coded pencil packaging with a tight cap
Amazing buttery soft texture- the best yet I have come across in eye pencils and glides like makhhan in a hot pan
The color is sooo pretty! Teal green with millions of gorgeous glitters *sigghh*
Mind blowing pigmentation- goes opaque in half a swipe- no pulling no tugging!
Staying power is great as well- stays straight for 8-9 hours on my oily lids till removed!
Does not sting/irritate my eyes.
The cons of MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner Undercurrent:
Very expensive for a measly eye pencil
Those with sensitive eyes might not like the glitters on their waterline/inner corners.
Price: Rs. 1100 (sheer robbery)
VNA Rating: 4/5
