Feline is a limited edition eye pencil, which has been (re)launched as a part of MAC’s Fall Color Collection, Oddly enough though, my MAC store seemed to have stocked on Feline kohl much before the rest of the collection was launched. Though LE, it has been promoted and repromoted a number of times. I think the last time it was launched was with the Cham-Pale Collection.MAC describes Feline Kohl as “Rich Black”. Well, I gotta agree. It is a soooper doooper matte black eye pencil. It is also a really long pencil, containing 1.5 g of product (Colorbar and Bourjois eye pencils contain around 1.1 g of product, Chambor around 0.28 g). I

1. Mac-Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline 1.0. Are you familiar with this? Feel free to rate it! In fact, I know it is a kohl pencil and so is meant to be smudged, but come on, the staying power on this one is terrible.
2. Say meow to MAC Kohl Power in Feline ($15), a blacker-than-black eyeliner, and no, I don’t purr over it just because it’s catty, although that aspect of it certainly doesn’t hurt. Yes, it’s true that I get a cat lady thrill every time I put my paws on this creamy, pitch-black pencil, which works out to about every other day, but part of that’s because I think it’s fantastic for drawing soft, smudgy lines.

Feline by MAC is richly pigmented, soft and glides smoothly on the eye contour without tugging or pulling. I personally haven’t experienced any discomfort using it on my waterline. Also, I use contacts on a regular basis and it does not transfer onto my lenses. One swipe is enough to give well – defined eyes, and the intensity can be built up with a couple of swipes. Feline Eye Kohl is also fantastic for smokey eyes… just swipe it on your waterline/ lashline and smudge it with a brush/ finger… instant easy-peasy smokey eyes (perfect if you, like me, are completely inept at using eyeshadows for ze smokey look!). It is definitely a smudgy eye pencil and not transfer proof, however it does not
have the tendency to travel all around your eyes (yu no look like a racoon with this baby on!). I have worn it to office for over 10 hours and have experienced a teeny weeny amount of fading, and it only travelled an itsy bit below my waterline… nothing scary, on the contrary the slight smudging makes my (super tired) eyes only that little bit sexier (:P) and more “Feline” looking. Though its creamy, it sharpens pretty well with any ordinary sharpener, without breaking or squishing (though the wood tends to look a bit uneven in places).

My favourite thing about Mac Feline Kohl defintely remains the colour… rich matte black… perfect, especially for us Indian girls because of our undying love for black kohl-rimmed eyes. The closest dupe I could think of is the Lakme Black Satin Kajal – though its more of of a glossier black, smudgier, and the fat tip makes it difficult to
achieve thin, defined lines. There’s of course UD Perversion, but that’s not available in India (*sigh*).

To summarize the pros and cons:The good:

* The colour – darkest black
* Perfect for those who prefer eye pencils with matte finishes
* Sharpenable, hence more hygienic to use. Can be sharpened with any regular sharpener
* Creamy, soft and can be smudged easily.
* Once set, does not tend to travel around the eyes too much (May spread more if you have watery eyes)
* Does not sting my waterline and is contact lense safe
* Quantity is good

The not-so-good:

* Not completely waterproof or transfer proof
* May not be for those who prefer eye pencils with glossier/ shimmery finish
* Some may prefer mechanical/ twist up pencils as against sharpenable ones
* The price – like all things MAC
* It’s LE! Though its been launched and relaunched several times… Come on MAC! Please make it permanent already!
