Best Things in Beauty : MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy.

i wanted a dark brown eye pencil with beautiful shimmers since i still miss such a colour in my collection. most times i saw a pretty eye make up with an appealing brown eyeliner it ended up being MAC's Teddy Eye Khôl, so when i did a little bit of MAC basics-shopping in the Glamour Shopping Week few weeks ago, i picked up Teddy.
this eyeliner contains 1.36g and costs 16.50€.
Teddy is a dark chocolate brown (or grizzly brown? ;P ) with red/pink pearl and gold shimmer. it applies smoothly without tugging my skin and doesn't feel gritty. it glides well but is not too soft. the colour is too red for me to wear on the lower lashline or even on the waterline, it would make me look tired and sore-eyed. i like to wear it along the upper lashline to warm up an eye make up.
i'm not impressed with the staying power, though.
on the lower lashline it lasts ok with a bit of smudging on the outer corners after about 4 hours, on the waterline it seems to irritate my eyes (but that is an individual thing). on the upper lid it lasts better, but with my folded lids i would get a stamping/transfer effect over the crease area. so i would have to blend up a darker eyeshadow a bit higher to prevent it getting to apparent.
all in all i do like the colour a lot, but for me it's uncomfortable to use.
i will probably take a look at the NARS Larger Than Life eye pencils since i haven't found a good match for Teddy at Urban Decay.
