M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil

M·A·C Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eye Liner in Graphic Content is a sleek gel-pencil designed to bring rich, high-impact colour to the eyes with minimal effort. The ultra-pigmented formula delivers a deep aubergine tone that helps to define the lash line, intensify smokey looks or add a subtle twist to everyday makeup. With a smooth, gel-like texture, it glides across the skin without dragging, helping to create clean, precise lines or softly diffused definition depending on how it’s blended.

Engineered with longwear technology, this waterproof liner is designed to last for over 24 hours on lids and up to 12 hours on the waterline, resisting smudging and transfer through busy days and evenings. It’s ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for contact lens wearers, making it a reliable choice for most eye types. Use it alone for quick definition, layer it under powder shadows to deepen intensity, or pair it with mascara and a neutral eye for a polished, modern finish.

How to use
How to Use:
Start with clean, dry eyelids. Twist the base of the pencil to reveal a small amount of product. Glide the tip along the upper lash line from the inner to outer corner, using short strokes for control. For the lower lash line or waterline, gently pull the skin taut and trace close to the lashes. Build intensity with additional layers or softly smudge with a brush or fingertip before the formula sets.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to the product instructions and desired look.

Application Technique:
Apply directly to lids or waterlines, keeping the pencil at a slight angle for a smooth, even line. For a bolder effect, layer the liner and connect the upper and lower lines at the outer corner. For a softer look, blend the edges quickly before the liner dries down.

Best Practices:
Apply after eyeshadow but before mascara. Use light pressure to avoid breaking the tip. Replace the cap firmly after use to help prevent the formula from drying out.

Safety Tips:
Use externally only. Avoid direct contact with the eye surface. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional. Keep out of reach of children and follow any additional guidance on the packaging.

How to Use:
Ensure the eye area is clean and dry. Glide M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil Skip The Waitlist along the upper lash line, working from the inner to the outer corner in a smooth, continuous motion.

Frequency:
Use as needed according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Apply directly from the pencil, keeping the tip sharpened for precision. Use light pressure on the waterline and slightly firmer strokes along the lash line. The gel texture is designed to glide on easily, so avoid over-layering; build colour gradually until you reach the look you prefer.

Best Practices:
Apply after eyeshadow and before mascara for a defined finish. Allow a few moments for the formula to set to help maximise wear. Remove with a suitable eye make-up remover, taking care not to rub the eye area excessively.

Safety Tips:
Use externally only. Avoid direct contact with the inner eye. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult the product packaging for further guidance. Keep out of reach of children and store with the cap securely closed.
