Details & care

What it is: A long-wearing ultra-smooth gel liner that provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish.

What it does: This gel liner provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer, ultrasmooth finish. This colourful gel liner goes on with a brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action. The long-wearing, waterproof gel liner wears for up to 16 hours and is smudge-resistant. Lines up in a rich array of colors and finishes. Brush sold separately.

How to use: Line your lashes using an eyeliner brush or angled brow brush. For the slickest winged eyeliner, apply to your lashline with a brush. Starting at the inner corner of your eye, gradually build color across your eyelid then flick the brush at the outer corner of your eye for a simple graphic liner look.

Love this eyeliner !

Lasts all day. Doesn’t budge. I am a professional painter and through a tough day at work this eyeliner stays put! I used only Bobbi Brown long wear eyeliner for years... decided to try Mac when Bobbi had none available in my favorite color. Sorry Bobbi MAC is my new favorite.

Racoon Eyes

This eyeliner is a smudge mess. It stays put for about an hour, maybe two at most, then it transfers on to the eyelids. I applied it with and without a makeup primer; results were the same.

Does not budge...

This is truly a miracle product if you have oily skin. I am completely unable to use a conventional pencil liner or anything waxy. MAC Fluidline, on the other hand, lasts all day. Once you apply it, you need to let it dry for about 30 seconds before applying your shadow or it will smudge. It may take some application practice if you're used to a pencil. Another thing I love about this is it's very easy to paint on a thin or thick line, draw a precise wing-eye, etc. I use this with the 210 Precise Eye Liner brush. I have both Blacktrack and Macroviolet (great for green eyes).

The best eyeline ever

I've been a fan of this product for years, and while I use it every day I'm not even close to be through one jar. This stays on all day, and is really versitile-I usually use it to get a liquid winged eyeliner effect, but I've also been able to make it look like a smudgey pencil liner. You can cover your whole lid with this and use it as a base as well, or you could even do a smokey eye with it! I would reccomend layering other shadows on top for an interesting effect. This is my go to mac product!

best gel liner!

Beautiful application and staying power. I like that I can use a liner brush to apply this, I feel like I have better control over how thick my lines are. I’ve used this for many years and will always buy this again and again.

Love it

I just bought this in the color LOWLIGHTS and love it. It is a dark coffee brown with a slight shimmer. Lasts throughout the day and is really smooth. This color is in between DIPDOWN (basic brown no shimmer) and BLACKTRACK (jet black flat.) With these liners make sure to keep the lid tight or they dry up very quickly.

GREAT Liner

If you want a great line that lasts all day, this is the liner for you!! I have this in 4 colors but the black could be a bit harsh. Blitz and Glitz is a dark grey that gives the appearance of a black liner but much softer. I have fair skin and blue eyes and the grey color is much better. I use this with the Mac liner brush and rarely make a mistake! It's also smoother than a pencil and glides right on without pulling the lid. Love this liner!!

Best makeup purchase I have made in 10 years

Ok, I am always a bit leary when I read rave reviews of a product and my friends would lovingly call me the cheapest girl they know. I had a gift card to Nordie's, so I got this product after reading everyone else's reviews. Here is the truth - I would buy this with the last $20 bill in my wallet. It is that good! It is smooth, even in color when you apply it, it stays put like you had put it on with a Sharpie. Love it, love it! I got the Blitz & Glitz shade because I have really dark hair and eyebrows, but white, white complexion. I am tempted to pick up more because I'm afraid they'll quit making it :-)

Smooth application!

I was skeptical because of some of the bad reviews. I have very oily skin so I put my eye liner on after my eyes shadow. I did not have a problem with MAC or any other eyeliners. It stayed on all day, and went on very smooth, It is one of the better liners I have tried. You have to use a very thin brush…not the angled brush but a skinny very small pointy brush. Most of all takes a steady hand.

MEH. What's all the rave is about???

I really wanted to like this. I am an avid fan of a lot of Mac products - I use their foundation and lip liner religiously, so I had high hopes for this gel eyeliner, and I LOVE my eyeliner - I don't leave home without it. I even did all the research prior to my purchase and I just don't understand all the rave reviews. For purposes of comparison, I also use Stila Smudgepots, and I love that product. It goes on nice and smooth in one swoop and the pigment is awesome. I love my black eyeliner. The only problem with Smudgepots is that it dries up too fast. So I was on the prowl for something more economical but also that functioned equally as well. MAC fluidline - I purchased it in Blacktrack - I feel like I have to keep layering this to build up the intensity - it doesn't seem to have as much pigment - whereas with Smudgepots it's BLACK on first application. Fluidline seems almost too creamy upon application, like it just doesn't spread how I want it to, sparse in some areas and more color in others, and I have to keep going over it several times to get the proper intensity. I tried applying it with and without my eye primer to see if it would make a difference but it's all the same. When it does dry, it does not wipe off or smear - it stays put so for that it gets five stars but the overall intensity in terms of pigment and application is not so good. I'm really disappointed. I am applying it with my 266 small angle liner brush, I also have other brands of angled brushes, but I'm going to try it with a different Mac brush applicator, probably the Mac 211 pointed liner brush to see if that makes a difference. I'm going to try Bobbi Brown gel liner next to see how that one fares. Otherwise, it's back to Smudgepots. I even prefer Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner over Mac Fluidline. Sorry Mac, I love your makeup line but Fluidline needs improvement.

Velvety and long-lasting!

I love this eye-liner. It is creamy, velvety, and doesn't flake off like so many others. I like to use a rich brown for summer and Dipdown is perfect. Since I am over 65, I don't like a solid line - I think it looks a little harsh for me - but I do like to add a little definition to my eyes. I use the Bobbie Brown Cream Shadow brush. The tip gets close to the lash line and then I lay it partially on its side to increase the thickness of the line while giving it a smudged look. Looks very natural and I don't need mascara with it which is great for summer. I was hoping to find a blue shade and am not sure that the Waveline isn't too bright but I purchased it anyway along with Rich Ground and will mix them.

Great liner

I use an angled brush to apply this liner. Been using this is black track for about a decade. I'm not great at make up and stick to a natural look so I have always stayed away from flashy and strong eye looks. This paint pot is a great thing because I can always put more on later to give my eyes a more drastic look or just keep it subtle. I also like this liner because I have to line one eye slightly thicker than the other, as I was born with a lazy eye that can't open as much as the other. It's barely noticeable unless I'm tired. Well, on days I'm tired, I get crafty and line the top lid of my smaller eye a bit thinner. And it works to help my eyes appear evenly open! ;-)

Perfect!

This eyeliner lasts all day, and is so easy to apply. Just make sure you purchase a slanted eyeliner brush, and, this part is EXTREMELY important, make sure your purchase one with man made bristles. It is difficult to draw a line with natural bristles that collapse under the slightest pressure. Man made bristles do not bend, making lining A LOT easier. The pot also lasts a long time, making it a very economical purchase. Just make sure to replace the lid tightly, so it doesn't dry out. I do wings with this, and I line my bottom lashes. I have dark brown eyes, and Dipdown gives me a medium dark brown with a touch of bronze that is not as overwhelming as a true, flat dark brown. Try this eyeliner. It's wonderful!!!
