I love it.Very smooth and very pretty. The only downside is that it smudges. At the end of the day, I always get a bit on my lower lid. However, in terms of MAC pencil liners, it probably smudges...

Love this liner. It's my favorite black liner...it's great for a thin line, it's great for a thick line, and it's great for smudging. Plus, it's got a little shimmer. What's not to love?

Beautiful eyeliner. I almost always stick to brown, indigo or dark violet liner because black is too harsh on me. Black Russian is a muted black with navy/silver sheen and soft enough to look good...

Definitely one of my favorite impulse buys from MAC. The Black Russian is a nice little kohl with an enticing name that only further prompted me to purchase it due to my ethnic identity. It is a...

HG eyeliner! Dramatic, yet not as harsh as a pure black eyeliner. Best described as "gunmetal." Slight shimmer, not glittery or flashy at all. Lasts even through humid/hot/18-hr days!

Love it. It's the ONLY liner to stay on my waterline for 12 straight hours! The glitters aren't unbearable, and the color payoff is excellent. Great consistency, wonderful color.

This a good liner. It's deep black with subtle shimmer, applies smoothly without tugging, and lasts through the day. I love it as an alternative to boring black (but essential!) liner.

It applies easily (as pearl glides should) and is a nice black with glitter. The problem is the glitter. While the eyeliner does a good job staying put (this is oregon, it rains and it stayed put)...

Smooth application and good, dark, black color. The color has tiny micro glitter in silver that are not noticcable unless really close. The color doesn't smudge as easily as smoulder but lasts...

Greatest pencil eyeliner. I love this on the waterline the most because if gives a nice dark look, but also gives a bit of a sparkle to amp up a look a bit. It is also great as an smudged eyeliner...

I love this eyeliner - it's not the most long wearing, but i don't think it claim to be and still holds up pretty well compared to other apparently 'waterproof' eyeliners i have used in the past....

Love this! The color is just too pretty and I love that it looks "inky" when I apply it. Very smooth and minimal tugging. I just wish it lasted as long as the fluidlines do, but this hold up better...
