(Grape)vine

Marc Jacobs Beauty (Grape)vine Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.0038 oz.) is a deep purple with subtle,c ool undertones and a cream finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to opaque coverage with a second layer. I found that it appeared more opaque when I used it on my lower lash line but needed a second layer on my lower water line. The product applied well to my lower lash line and upper and lower water lines. The texture was smooth, creamy, and a bit wet compared to most of the shades in the range that I have tried. It stayed on well for over 12 hours on my lower lash line and was still mostly intact on my water line after 12 hours as well (but slight wear was visible).

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.0038 oz. - $6315.79 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have an ultra-fine tip (2mm) that "glides on precisely" for "all-day wear" that is "waterproof." They are typically nearly opaque to opaque in coverage in one, smooth and fluid line. The consistency is creamy, smooth, and not prone to skipping, while the creaminess ensures that it doesn't tug or pull at the lash line (or water line). I find that some shades apply well on my lower waterline but not the upper waterline (like Blacquer doesn't want to adhere to my waterline at all but Grapevine goes on like butter). They have lasted between eight and 12 hours, depending on placement and level of allergies I'm enduring at a particular moment (my eyes are normally watery but when I'm dealing with more noticeable allergies, I'm always leaking out of the corner of my eye).

(Dove)affair

Marc Jacobs Beauty (Dove)affair Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.0038 oz.) is a soft, grayish-taupe with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish–not quite flat matte but not shimmery. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, while the eyeliner had a smooth, creamy consistency that glided easily across my lash line and water line without tugging. It applied well to both my lower lash line and water line, but it didn’t adhere as well to my upper water line (which is a trouble spot for me, generally). It wore well for 12 hours on my lower lash line and nine and a half hours on my water line before thinning/fading noticeably.

Steel(etto)

Marc Jacobs Beauty Steel(etto) Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.0038 oz.) is a soft, faded blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in one pass, which adhered well to my lower lash line and water lines. The consistency was smooth, creamy without being too slippery, and comfortable to apply to my lash line and water lines. It lasted beautifully on my lower lash line for over 12 hours with minimal (I could barely tell, hunting for signs of wear!) wear on my lower lash line and was slightly faded on my lower water line.
