I've been using this to tightline my eyes. It's a nice color and works fine as long as the weather is cool, but ever since summer rolled around it's been smudge city. I've had to wipe a brown pool...

Pleasantly surprised by this pencil! I usually hate pencils--they smudge, tug, and fade. This one seems to stay put better than others I've tried, and the color is perfect -- warm and natural,...

this one was a meh for me. just returned it for a refund. i expected a richer, deeper german chocolate cake-y type of brown, but this was just a flat, dark, might-as-well-be-maybelline brown. ...

This is a long-lasting, easy to apply pencil eyeliner that does not smear, smudge or run. It's great to use to tight line your eyes, then later add gel/cream liner with a brush, or liquid eyeliner,...

This is the warmest, prettiest brown I've ever tried (and I've tried heaps!) I'm on my third pencil and will continue to use until they stop making it. Quite apart from the perfect colour, it's so...

True to its name! I have never experienced this eyeliner smudge. It is stubborn and a lovely brown colour. Light enough to look natural but dark enough to add definition. Fantastic product!

This was my first purchase from MAC and I loved it ever since. NEVER SMUDGES. Awesome stuff. I apply this from 9 something in the morning and it stayed there until 11pm. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This has been my dark brown eye pencil of choice for about ten years. This is my ideal warm dark brown color. I have looked high and low to find just the right shade of brown and this is it. Some...

Super creamy and pigmented, this pencil is a must for every makeup kit! I rarely use black liner, I find brown to be much more subtle and flattering but can still be built it up for an intense look.

MAC Cosmetics' Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubbron Brown was quite impressive at first- the color and texture was matte, smooth and held a greyish tint of brown. However, the reason why I chose to...

This is "the" basic brown to have. It's easy and creamy to apply and stays put till you choose to take it off. Love it.

I got this pencil in a swap, and I was really surprised by it. It's so soft, and the color is so beautifull (a very dark tone of brown). It's very easy to use and to smudge. It's impossible for me...

I went to MAC looking for the perfect chocolate brown eyeliner and I found it! This is a highly pigmented eyeliner, which stays on my waterline all day! A staple in my makeup bag, will repurchase :)
