Eyeliner Comparison Swatches - MAC Black Line, Clinique Egyptian, Stila Moray

I thought that Black Line was very similar to Stila Moray Smudgestick & Clinique Egyptian Creamshaper.  So, today I decided to swatch them side by side and see.

If we consider Black Line the "control", then:

• Egyptian's base is more brown than Black Line's.
• Moray is almost spot on, but it needs more black.  You could probably get the same effect by using Moray over a black liner.  
• They all felt pretty much the same when I applied them, but when I tried to smudge them, Moray & Black Line didn't budge, while Egyptian smeared.
• Stila is $20 for .01oz, Clinique is $14.50 for .04oz, MAC is $14.50 for .04oz.

Here are comparisons to a few other liners just for fun.  :)

MAC Pearlglide Swatches - Undercurrent, Black Line, Petrol Blue

I'm not interested in MAC.  It's just not my thing.  However, they have my favorite eyeliner formula ever.  Pearlglides are pretty much the perfect eyeliner for me.  They go on smooth & creamy, very pigmented and within minutes of application they won't budge.  For example, after I took my swatch pics, I took my t-shirt and tried to rub them off.  I wasn't gentle at all, but these puppies didn't smudge at all.  After a few seconds of rubbing, they faded a bit but they stayed right where I had put them.  At $14.50, they're cheaper than Urban Decay 24/7 liners and they are soooooo much better!
