MAC Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eyeliner Glide Or Die (Carbon Black) — Ultra-Pigmented Waterproof, 24+hr Wear

MAC Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Glide Or Die (Carbon black) is an ultra-pigmented, waterproof gel pencil engineered for intense lines, long wear, and smooth application.

Designed to deliver saturated color with a creamy glide, this .01 oz / .35 g gel pencil blends the richness of a gel formula with the convenience of a pencil. It lays down deep carbon-black pigment that resists smudging and lasts through daily wear, while remaining comfortable on lids and waterlines. The formulation balances bold payoff with a smooth, lubricated feel for clean, controllable strokes.

How does this gel pencil perform during a full day?

Expect long-lasting color that holds up against ordinary wearors like light rubbing and humidity. MAC rates the formula for 24+ hours on lids and up to 12 hours on waterlines, which means minimal touch-ups for most situations. The waterproof properties reduce transfer and fading for steady definition.

• 24+ hour wear on eyelids for all-day definition
• Up to 12 hours of wear on the waterline
• Waterproof finish to resist smudging and light moisture

How easy is it to apply and blend?

The gel-infused core provides a silky, controlled glide that creates crisp lines with little pressure. It’s soft enough for shading and smudging when needed but holds shape for sharp wings and tightlining. Because the tip is pencil-style, application is precise without the mess of a separate gel pot and brush.

• Creamy texture for smooth, even application
• Pencil format enables precision and easy control
• Blendable immediately after application for smudged looks

Will it suit sensitive eyes and waterlines?

The formulation is designed for comfortable wear on lids and waterlines with minimal irritation for most users. It’s reliable for tightlining and lower waterline use thanks to gentle glide and secure adhesion. If you have specific sensitivities, patch testing first is always recommended.

• Gentle glide reduces tugging during application
• Secure adherence lowers the need for reapplication
• Patch test advised for very reactive eyes

How do you maintain and store this pencil for best results?

Keep the cap firmly closed between uses to protect the tip and prevent drying. A quick sharpen before use restores a precise point for fine lines; store at room temperature away from direct sunlight to preserve formula integrity. For longevity, avoid leaving the tip exposed for extended periods.

• Replace cap after each use to keep tip protected
• Sharpen sparingly to maintain product and reduce waste
• Store away from heat and direct sunlight

Who is this for: This MAC Colour Excess Gel Pencil is suited to anyone who wants bold, reliable eyeliner—makeup lovers who favor intense black lines, professionals who need resilient color through long days, and anyone who prefers pencil convenience over separate gel pots. It works well for speedy daily routines and more detailed evening looks, offering both precision and smudge-resistant performance without sacrificing comfort.
