Like most people I have been using this pencil for my waterline, lower lash line, inner corner highlight, brow highlight and as a highlight for my cupid's bow - not necessarily all these things all the time!
I like the colour of this, it's not as harsh as a white on the waterline which I hate and I even favour I Get No Kick over Stila's Topaz as the colour is not flat. The staying power on the waterline is average and the sheen this leaves as a highlight on skin lasts most of the day as you would expect.
An nice but average pencil that is over-priced for what it achieves but I would repurchase if this was a permanent product as it does have a number of uses for me and I do like the colour.

If MAC was smart they would make this a permanent product. I regret not getting another one. I use this everyday for the inner corner and on my waterline. I wish I bought another one!

I have used this one quite a few times on my lower lash line to brighten my eyes... I do not know if you are supposed to do that but I really like it !
I also use it in the inner corner of my eyes and lightly in the brow bone.
It is always in my makeup bag and I am surprinsingly reaching for this more often than I thought.

really pretty on the water line or on the inner/outer corner as a eye opener. It's a shame that it's only limited edition as I would repurchase. It's a lot better than a white eye liner as it's not as harsh:)

I have used this everyday since getting this. I will be very sad when I run out! I use this underneath my brow as a highlight and then on the inner corner and on my waterline. This looks really pretty on the inner corner with a little bit of crystal avalanche eyeshadow overtop.

I Get No Kick is described by MAC as a "metallic nude" which is quite accurate. It's the perfect mix of silver and gold and has a gorgeous sheen.


It is a good alternative to black eyeliner and really brightens up my eyes. I also use Heirloom eye kohl (a silvery violet) as an alternative to black but I love I Get No Kick more as it is neutral but not flat (Heirloom is cool toned).


I use this on my waterline - and I am so happy that it doesn't make my eyes go red, and that it lasts all day!! I have the most sensitive eyes in the world so this eyeliner is HG status for me. I will need to get a back up.

I am VERY happy, that I didn't buy it, because I tryed this on the store and wore it (i wanted to say all day..) just a few hours it lasted on me...
I chose the chromographic pencil instead, Whats wrong with the cham pale colection, anything is not enough pigmented!

I Get No Kick swatches beautifully on the back of my hand, it shows up as a pink-gold-champagne kind of colour, so people have suggested that it would look great on the waterline. However, this eye kohl will simply not show up on me. I'm NC30 with golden undertones and dark hair. At first I thought that the colour of my waterline just happens to resemble that of I Get No Kick, which explains why it's so difficult to discern anything when I put it on. I thought that perhaps someone fairer than I am would have a better shot at this. However, I read that another reviewer, adriann1973, who's blonde and fair, has experienced the same problem. I can only conclude that that this eye kohl is just not as soft and creamy as other MAC eye kohls are (such as Smolder, Heirloom and Fascinating), and this makes it difficult for the pigmentation to transfer onto a sensitive area on which you can't press to hard on, such as the waterline. The colour of I Get No Kick is absolutely lovely but it's so disappointing that I can't get this to work for me. A nude waterline eyeliner that works and stays on me for a decent amount of time is the MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NW25/NC30. Eyeliners don't usually stay well on my waterline, not even the fabled Guerlain loose powder kohls, which disappear about 3 hours after I've put them on. The Chromagraphic pencil doesn't survive 100% intact on my eyes, but you can still see a faint trace of it after 6 hours. The colour is also slightly lighter than my natural waterline colour, so it helps with the awake and perky illusion, which is basically the point of putting nude/white liners on the waterline. If your skintone resembles mine, then I recommend the Chromagraphic pencils over I Get No Kick. The Chromagraphic pencil in NW25/NC30 is a lot creamier and more more versatile anyway because they are basically concealers in pencil form, so you can use them to spot-conceal and to define your lips for a red lip look, in addition to using them on the inner corners of your eye or on your waterline. In the mean time, I'll probably only use I Get No Kick as a regular eyeliner on the lid, which will be on rare occasions because I hardly ever incorporate a shimmery pink-gold eyeliner in my eye looks. It's such a shame that it won't show up on my eyes, because in theory, it just seemed like the perfect waterline eyeliner.

I think i'm one of the only people who do not like this eye pencil. I REALLY wanted to and wanted it for my waterline and inside tear duct. I can't see it at all on the waterline...and the inside tear duct doesn't look smooth unless I blend the crap out of it and if Im going to do that I'll just stick with a shimmer shadow. Not worth the money...no pay off whatsoever for me but I am also blonde and kinda fair. I think this might look good in the summer with a tan or on darker skinned people


**update: ok I HAVE found a place I really like this...above the widow's peak. It looks beautiful with baby sparks on the lips. That being said and being the only place I use it, it will last me forever...and I still wouldn't buy it again as I can get the same effect with Too Chic beauty powder which I will buy again and again.

The MAC Buttery eye kohl used to be a staple in my makeup case, but sadly it was discontinued. This is the closest I have seen to it (this is a touch peachy/pink compared to it). It still does the same thing in brightening the eye area and staying put all day long. I hope they make this a staple in the collection...or bring Buttery back!

I am in love with this kohl, a beautiful pearly champage colour. it glides on beautifully and the lasting powder is brilliant. It looks so pretty in the inner tear duct and under and on my waterline, it really awakens and brightens up my eyes.
I also love using it to line my cupids bow, really makes my lips look more defined and fuller.
Such a shame its limited edition, its a really amazing product.

Nice colour but it's kind of hard and doesn't really work on my waterline that well...
I was a little disappointed honestly!

I had never considered a nude liner. I should have. Try this out. It's effortlessly beautiful. I used it first under my eye as a liner, but then was shocked at the sickly pink look of my water line so I filled it in too. SHA-ZAMM baby! "I Get No Kick" is pretty in a stick.

I enjoy this eye kohl a lot, it glides onto my waterline very easily and lasts a surprisingly long time. It is virtually undetectable by others, which I adore, as opposed to stark white eyeliner or the dullness of normal skin toned liners. All other people can see is a slightly brighter and more awake me, which is all I wanted this pencil to do. :)

I ditched my white MAC eyeliner for this and will never look back. This is soft and easy to apply to my waterline and tear duct area. I also line under my bottom lashes with this. I love this pencil and since its soft I sharpen it more than my others, I'm not sure I can live without it if I run out.

When I first saw this online, I didn't think I would want a beige eyeliner. But the more swatches and reviews I saw online, I decided to try it out. I'm glad I did because I LOVE it! Putting it on my waterline brightens up my eyes and I love using it in the inner corner of my eye instead of white shadow to highlight my eyes. To me, it seems like a color that would be flattering on anyone.

Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes in the champagne color is much better. It glides on easily and you don't have to heat it with a hair dryer.
