I'm sad to see this has lower reviews than some of the other MAC Fluidlines, because it just works so well for me. This is a beautiful, slightly shimmery wine eggplant color, and it really brings out the green in my eyes. I'm a MAC NC30 with hazel-green eyes, blonde hair. Looks good with almost any eyeshadow color on me. Fluidlines are so easy to apply, they last all day, they are highly pigmented, they stay put, and they don't tug or pull on your lids during application. I reach for this one, and Blitz and Glitz the most out of my other Fluidlines. Will definitely repurchase, but I would all of them.

Of all my Fluidlines, this one is my least used and least favorite... for many reasons. It is such a deceiving color in the little jar- a gorgeous, shimmery, reddish plum. But on my eyes? Next to invisible! Blah! I can hardly see it! When I go over it with my brush, it just makes it worse for some reason. For a Fluidline, I also find Macroviolet to be drier or more crumbly than my other Fluidlines. I agree w/ the reviewer before me who mentioned that L'Oreal HIP creme liner in Eggplant gives you more bang for your buck. Eggplant is a deep plum with shimmer, nicely pigmented, applies easily, long-lasting liner, and much cheaper! Not dry or crumbly, either. If you like plum liner that LOOKS plum... skip the Macroviolet and go with the HIP Eggplant.

I thought this shimmery dusty purple was awesome when I first got it, but L'Oreal's HIP cream eyeliner is cheaper and far superior (and it comes with a slanted brush)! It looks like a deep purple in the pot, but is more of a dusty purple. It takes a somewhat thick coat to match the color in the pot.

MAC's macrovilet works pretty well if you apply it with your fingers to your lid as an eyeshadow and stays put pretty well. But in my experience, it's hard to apply with a brush. It takes several tries to apply it evenly for me since a little liner wipes away every time I go back over it with the brush, which I have to do to get a dark enough color.

I'll stick to HIP unless I want some of the wilder colors MAC carries that HIP does not.

Using gel liners exclusively now. My favorites are L'Oreal HIP Color Truth and MAC Fluidlines. Macroviolet shows up on me as a deep redtoned plum. Some where between dark purple and a blackened wine. Goes well with my Black Opal 'Midnight Mauve' e/s quad. I find myself using L'Oreal HIP Color Truth in Eggplant more often than Macroviolet. I prefer Eggplant's color and smoother texture.

I'm cheating on my Stila Smudgepots with MAC Fluidlines. It's proving to be quite an affair, with Macroviolet being the latest I've succumbed to. A rich deep red-based purple with pinky shimmer, it is smoother than a baby seal and silkier than your favourite silk slip.
Colour-wise, this has a charcoal-ish base which becomes more evident on me after a few hours, a little weird but the purple holds ok too.
Staying power is unbelievably good, I'd seriously have to scrape my eyelid with a rusty shovel for it to budge.
A part of me says I should have bought Jadeye as intended (this was selected on a whim) but I think I like it. :)

Fluidlines are my fave e/l's so far. They're easy to apply and their lasting power is incredible. Macroviolet is shimmery dark violet color but imo the texture is different than other f/l's. This one is not smooth like others and i've to apply over and over to see a dark violet shade(like it's not pigmented well like others). But it still is beautiful:) Anyways i don't think i'll repurchase.

Love the fluidlines, but macroviolet is like having no liner on for me. It does not give me the same punch like the other shades. It's actually a very bland and flat purple-violet liner. Unlike my other fluidlines, I got one that was very smooshy and wet and did not stay on well. When I discovered Loreal hip's new cream liner in eggplant, I ended up returning macroviolent. Eggplant is a gorgeous bold purple with great pearls!

When I first used macroviolet I actually wasn't really a fan of it, it just looked like a muddy dark purple/brown. But I've used it a few more times and I got used to having to layer it probably two times or so and I actually really like it now. It really makes my green eyes stand out and it looks wicked with gold/bronze eyeshadows. And the texture is sweet, its really creamy and easy to apply. I love the fluidlines they are the best eye liners around, I use nothing else now haha.

The colour is a medium purple and pretty much wears all day with no creasing or drift. The shimmer is really pretty and subtle. You can only see it if you’re two feet from my face. I went to the gym and took a hot shower afterwards and the eyeliner did stay put although the colour faded. So, I was left with about 40% of the colour intensity.

This is a really pretty alternative to black or brown and you can definitely wear it for day-to-day.

My only gripe with this fluidline is that it goes on unevenly and was hard to apply. It was not smooth. For that reason alone I wouldn’t repurchase because I don’t have time in the mornings to fight with it. I will stick to my Bobbi Brown gel eye liners. I will go and try their Violet Ink.

I love this color. It's a beautiful dark purple. It looks good with purple, pink, and even neutral colored eyeshadows. It doesn't fade at all during the day. I love the texture of Fluidlines. They don't irritate my eyes, like some liquid eyeliners do and they're much easier to use than pencils.
