Mesmerized by the Mac Pearlglides? How about a great dupe available year round?

Laura, our resident nail expert, went to the local Mac counter in our city and swatched the Mac Pearlglide liners. You know, those amazingly beautiful vibrant, creamy last-all-day liners available for only a short time at your Mac counter. Well, Laura then cleverly went to Sephora and swatched the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils had made a surprising discovery! The Urban Decay pencils are almost identical dupes for the Mac Pearlglide Liners...and they are available year round!

NOTE: There is a gap in the liner comparison for Mac's Blackline. Unfortunately, Sephora didn't have Urban Decay's Stash as a test to swatch. Laura suggests layering Urban Decay's Stash over black liner to achieve the same effect of Mac's Blackline. In my opinion, Laura is on the money - this is a great idea if you can't get your hands on the Mac Pearlglides!

Here are some photos of the liners she swatched:

Left row (top to bottom): Korres Olive Green, Korres Blue Petrol 9; Middle row (top to bottom): MAC Pearlglide Lord It Up, Blackline, Petrol Blue, Undercurrent, Black Swan; Right row (top to bottom): Urban Decay Bourbon, Underground, Binge, Covet, Oil Slick. (Also, lipstick on top is Honeylove, lipsticks on bottom are Faeirie Glen top and Cut A Caper bottom).
