MAC Tempting Fate Eye Kohls Reviews & Swatches

Pine for Me

MAC Pine for Me Eye Kohl ($21.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium-dark green with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage paired with a slightly drier, firmer consistency that tugged somewhat on my lower lash line but wasn’t overly sharp or so dry that it didn’t go on evenly.

It was most accessible and most comfortable to apply in shorter, overlapping strokes with a lighter hand. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Cobalt Kohl

MAC Cobalt Kohl Eye Kohl ($21.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, inky violet with cool, blue undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a drier consistency that still moved fairly comfortably over my lash line.

It was more traditional kohl, so it felt sharper than more silicone-heavy formulas (which can glide on better but sometimes move around more). It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

  • Zoeva Mr. Marvelous (P, $7.50) is more shimmery (90% similar).
  • Urban Decay Retrograde (P, $22.00) is more shimmery (90% identical).
  • Smashbox Nymph (P, $18.00) is shimmery, lighter, and warmer (85% similar).
  • Urban Decay Empire (P, $22.00) is less shimmery,and warmer (85% similar).
  • Urban Decay Delinquent (DC, $22.00) is shimmery, darker, and warmer (80% similar).
  • Zoeva New Jewels (P, $7.50) are shimmery, lighter, and warmer (80% similar).
  • Melt Cosmetics Utterly Alone (LE, $19.00) is shimmery, lighter, and warmer (80% similar).
