If MAC ever discontinues Powersurge Eye Kohl ($15), I’ll hunt down every pencil at every MAC counter within a 30-mile radius, fo’ reals.
My love for this shimmery golden bronze eye pencil runs deeeeep. A MAC artist introduced me to it about two years ago, and ever since that fateful day this pencil has graced my waterline many a time.
On days when I don’t want the harshness of a black or brown liner, I like Powersurge. I think it adds just the right touch of emphasis to my lower waterline without leaving me looking too overdone.
Here she is in action with MAC Style Black…
Curious about Powersurge? Here are a few earlier posts:
I love it with gold, purple, bronze and green eyeshadows, but I think it also looks great on its own … or with curled lashes and tons of mascara, yay! 🙂
Have you met MAC Powersurge?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

November 25th, 2009 at 9:05 pmooh gorgeous! I have Teddy and I love that one too, its more of a darker bronze look 🙂

November 26th, 2009 at 8:58 amTeddy is a must! I know a lot of women who can’t live without it. I like it but it tends to smudge a LOT on me, so I mostly use it for layering.
Babybubblz says
November 25th, 2009 at 10:17 pmOh wow! That’s a gorgeous color! You always make me see colors in a different light 😀
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:57 amYay! Another Powersurge convert! 🙂
Kypris says
November 25th, 2009 at 10:49 pmMmm, that looks like a colour to keep in one’s collection… I love subtle looks on those days I’m really exhausted but want to look a little pretty 😉 so that sounds good. Unfortunately I’ve been spending lots of money these days, but I might just wander over to a Mac counter sometime soon…
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:56 amThis is part of their permanent collection so you have time! 🙂
jana says
November 25th, 2009 at 11:22 pmomg woman! why must you post things that make me wanna go out and get one myself? =o) i’ve never really been a mac fan until recently… their little xmas pigment pot collection got me going! have you tried the urban decay 24/7 oil slick color? it’s gray with silver sparkles… i tried looking for it but couldn’t find it as a single… only in a pack with other colors that i would never use=o(
.-= jana’s last blog post… another rude awakening… =-.
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:56 amYah, I love that UD shade. If you like the sparkle action you might like UD’s Bourbon. It’s a rich brown with tiny gold flecks!
amy says
November 25th, 2009 at 11:47 pmI have never seen this kohl pencil before. I like that it as an antiqued finished to it. I think it would make a lovely base too for gold toned eyeshadows. My favourite MAC kohl is Tarnish.

November 26th, 2009 at 4:57 amReally pretty 🙂
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:51 amI hope you try it! 🙂
Karen B says
November 26th, 2009 at 10:52 amI will next time I get near a MAC store. I’m such a fiend. I don’t have any stores really closeby so when I do get close to one my money is burning holes in my pocket like nobodies business.
Rose C says
November 26th, 2009 at 5:57 amThis looks like an eyeliner version of Woodwinked eye shadow. If they ever discontinued this you could always line your eyes with the eyeshadow!
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:50 amWoodwinked in awesome. It goes fab with Powersurge, especially along the lower lash line.
Glosslizard says
November 26th, 2009 at 8:51 amDang, girl, that is a gorgeous eye look! I’ll have to check out that color, although it reminds me of a warmer gold version of one of my lower lashline go-to’s, Benefit’s creaseless cream shadow in Skinny Jeans!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Karen says
November 26th, 2009 at 9:00 amInteresting how Skinny Jeans shows up as gold on you! I get more of a khaki gray.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Glosslizard says
November 26th, 2009 at 6:47 pmYeah, the catalog describes it as “pretty pewter”, but on me it’s a sort of golden-taupe color! At first I was disappointed, but I’ve learned to love it!
Tiffany says
November 26th, 2009 at 9:50 amHappy Thanksgiving Karen! I really want this pencil now ! It looks great on you! I have a Stila trio I bet it would look great with!
Tavia says
November 26th, 2009 at 11:53 amHi Karen! This pencil is great, I also like the color. Definitely must try it cause most of my eyeshadows are similar with this one’s color. 🙂

November 26th, 2009 at 12:42 pmOh no… another thing to add to my wish list. Thanks so much, Karen 😉

Javi says
November 26th, 2009 at 1:22 pmI’m in love with it too. I normally use it in my lower waterline when i use buried treasure in the top one. They look really good together.
Roseline says
November 26th, 2009 at 2:43 pmYou have such pretty eyes =]! And I LOVE your eye make up in the picture! Could you pretty please do a tutorial on how to do your eye makeup like that? PLEASE and thank-you! With a cherry on top! Haha
