Hey guys, I'm pretty sure I want one of these two to be my next purchase but I'm torn. I tried the mac fluidline the other day and I liked it but I've been reading really good things about the bobbi brown long-wear gel eyeliner . Has anyone tried both that can give me a comparative opinion. Or which of the two do you prefer?

Thanks !


mods: i did a search but didn't find any threads comparing the two

I have both and like both equally.

i havent used bb's but i have the MAC fluidline in blacktrack and i love it!!

I have tried neither, sorry. I was just wondering what you were interested in them for, like I've heard the MAC stays on waterlines really well, that kind of thing?

I guess it would depend what you were looking for in a liner let us know how you go, I've been interested in the fluidlines by mac too.

I have been using mac fluidline for over a year now and I like it, I ran out and thought I would try the Bobbi Brown, I like Bobbi Brown better it goes on really smooth and stays on, to me it has a brighter look, where as the Mac seemed to fade more.

They are equally good, I will probably by Bobbi Brown when I run out.

never tried either. i hear good things about both.

I like the Bobbi Brown. I agree that it goes on brighter and with my oily lids it lasts longer.

I've never tried Bobbi Brown's, but MAC Fluidlines are awesome!

I hear that bobbi brown is much better for staying power and oily lids compared to fluidline, but fluidline is cheaper and lasts just as long for people who don't have oily lids and the colors are more fun too.

I had a MAC Fluidline and it went on like a dream. I think I have a teeny bit left actually... I'd love to try Bobbi Brown but its not easy to get hold of where I am and I don't like buying cosmetics on the web.

Do these go on waterline well? I've never tried them but would love it if they did stay as kohl never ever stays on my waterlines.

I HEARD that they are both the same thing. Both lines are owned by the same company. I haven't tried Bobbi browns liner yet though, so I can't say for sure.

[pinkbundles]

I've only used MAC's fluidlines and I adore it! I have no idea why it took me so long to get it!

[Retro-Violet]

bobbi brown one works better for me.

I've tried both and definately go with the Fluidline. BB gel eyeliner doesn't have the greatest color pay-off or range of shades.

Hi,

Ditto... I'm also a fan of Stila's smudge pots.

I had BB and MAC fluidlines.

BB
less moist (dry easily)
intense rich color
USD19

MAC
moist
multi-shades for choice
USD14.5

Similar shades between BB and MAC
black ink = blacktrack
graphite shimmer ink = lithograph(LE/'06 fall - A Muse)
chocolate shimmer ink = graphic brown(LE/'06 fall - A Muse & Jewelscent)

I prefer MAC and some shimmer inks of BB, esp. sapphire shimmer & ivy shimmer.
