M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil

M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil in Pool Shark is a highly pigmented gel eyeliner designed to bring a vivid flash of colour to everyday and occasion looks. The slim pencil format offers the precision of a liner with the smooth glide of a gel, so it feels comfortable around the delicate eye area. The waterproof, long-wear formula is created to stay put on lids for over 24 hours and on the waterline for up to 12 hours, helping eye looks appear fresh and defined throughout the day or night. Pool Shark, an aqua-toned shade, adds a striking yet wearable pop of colour that works beautifully alone or paired with neutral shadows.

This product fits easily into any make-up routine, whether you prefer a subtle accent along the lash line or a more graphic, statement shape. The creamy texture allows time to blend or smudge before it sets, then resists smudging and transfer. It’s also ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for contact lens wearers, offering confident, comfortable wear with every application.

How to use
How to Use:
Start with clean, dry eye area. Twist the base of the pencil to reveal a small amount of product. Glide M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil along the upper lash line in short strokes, building intensity as desired. For added definition, apply gently along the lower lash line or waterline.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to your make-up routine and the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Apply using light pressure, allowing the gel texture to glide without tugging. For a softer look, lightly smudge the line before it sets. For a sharper effect, keep the strokes close to the lash line and allow the formula to dry for a few seconds.

Best Practices:
Apply after eyeshadow and before mascara. Use a minimal amount of product at a time to maintain control. Replace the cap securely after use to help protect the texture.

Safety Tips:
Use externally only. Avoid direct contact with the inner eye. 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:
Start with clean, dry eyelids. Twist or sharpen the M.A.C Colour Excess Gel Pencil Hell Bent as needed. Glide the pencil along the upper lash line using short, steady strokes, building up the thickness and intensity as desired. For the lower lash line or waterline, gently trace along the rim of the eye, taking care not to press too hard. Smudge lightly with a brush or fingertip before the formula sets if you prefer a softer, smokier effect.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to the product instructions and your make-up routine.

Application Technique:
Apply directly to the lash line or waterline, working from the outer corner inwards or vice versa, whichever feels more comfortable. Layer to deepen the colour and create more dramatic looks.

Best Practices:
Apply after eyeshadow but before mascara for a defined finish. Allow the formula to set for a few seconds to help maximise wear. Replace the cap securely after use to help prevent the pencil from drying out.

Safety Tips:
Use externally only.
