this brown is similar to teddy eyekhol except that it's infused with bronzy gold glitter. overall, a nice everyday shade!

Beautiful bronze, exactly same color as Clinique's Cream Shaper Brown Sugar(I put them thickly on my hand, side by side), so if you don't like the Clinique product but like the color, try this.

I have never worn eyeliner before, but my friend and I went in the MAC store at our local mall to look at eyeshadows, and made me try this on. I really like it! I have blonde hair (not naturally!) and green eyes, and I really don't like heavy eyemakeup (very light shadow, if at all, and black brown mascara). This is a great color that adds some depth to my eye area without looking too dark. I like the pencil idea too, since I'm not too great at putting on liquid liner (as I found out in the store! eek!). I put this on the top lid and smudge, and I really like the effect. Great...just one more product in my makeup regimen! :)

Much as I adore this shade for my blue eyes I will not be repurchasing as it refused to sharpen. I ended up getting about 10 days' use of this max as every time I sharpened it it broke! I tried refrigerating it before sharpening! I even used different sharpeners (all designed for the purpose) to no avail! Such a shame! Has any one else had this experience? I was so down about this! If MAC could sort this problem out I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!

I have brown asian shape eyes and I wanted an eyeliner I can use for day and night, one that also withstand my oily lids. This one fits the bill ! Bountiful brown is a shimmery bronzey-brown that adds enough colour to define my lower rim and I can use it as a eyeshadow, I just have to smudge it. It is soft but it lasts through sweat and heat. I have stubborn brown as well which is no-shimmer and dark brown. Worth every penny!

This is kind of like Teddy kohl's lighter, less reddish cousin (with better staying power, since it's a PP). I'm blonde & fair, so this makes a nice subtle liner for daytime though it isn't really enough at night for me. It's also very soft, which means it needs to be sharpened often, so I took a lipstick off for that. Still, it is a pretty shade that pairs well with shadows like Retrospeck, Patina, and Tempting.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This eyeliner! My HG pencil eyeliner. This was the first powerpoint eyeliner I bought (beautiful bronzey-brown color) & have subsequently bought 4 other colors. It goes on so smooth & easy...no tugging or pulling. Yes, you do have to sharpen often, but it is a small price to pay being the ONLY pencil eyeliner that stays put!!!!!! I have "greasy" eyelids & every eyeliner (other than liquid) I have used smudges/melts/runs soon after application. But, washes easily off at the end of the day.

Bountiful Brown is my first Powerpoint and I have to say that I am very impressed with the ease of use and the staying power. As described below, BB is a shimmery golden brown. I would categorize it as medium rather than dark, and as such it gives a very subtle look. I wouldn't mind if it were a hair darker but the bronzey tone does set off my green hazel eyes nicely. The pencil does need to be sharpened quite frequently which does make it less cost-effective than, say, the new Fluidlines. I will repurchase Bountiful Brown because it is a good no-brainer color for basic makeup looks but I wish the pencil lasted longer or was cheaper.

I have very sensitive eyes/skin, and have never been able to wear shimmery liners without an awful reaction. Bountiful Brown is a lovely shimmery golden dark brown - very subtle, but has impact. Creamy and easy to apply, these last all day, and I can even wear them in my corners and inside rims of my eyes. The down side is that they need constant sharpening to keep a thin point - and cheap sharpeners chew them up so buy a good one!

This is a gorgeous bronze rinsed golden brown that looks really natural and pretty on my deep hazel eyes. I love the formula of the PP's because they last forever on my eyelids! Great e/l for that "summer" look.

THis is my HG of eyeliners! No matter what, i always come back to my bountiful brown. In terms of consistancy and the product as an eyeliner it works well, glides easily without tugging and lasts. Although i do use English Ideas sealant to help keep it from smudging throughout the day, i still use this. I might try fluidlines someday but pencils seem easiest when i'm in a hurry. EDIT: fluidlines are GREAT. i still use this pencil but it seems to me that my dipdown lasts longer

Bountiful Brown Power Point has become my staple for a go-with anything eyeliner. I have golden-brown/hazel eyes and this color just brings out the warmth and gold hue of my eyes really well. It also lasts a lot better than the MAC Kohls. I love the staying power and I love the bronze brown color, kind of like Powersurge Kohl, but a bit darker and more noticeable. It enhances my eyes and stays put, so I will continue to buy it from now on.

I love the lasting power of Mac Powerpoint liner but bountiful brown just isn't for me. The color is to light. It is a pretty brownish copper color.I have blue-grey eyes and the liner is lighter the my eye color and just does"t look right.

I bought this eyeliner on the strength of the MUA reviews-in particular GreeneyedGal's review, as I am green/hazel eyed-wow! perfect med-brown shimmer-bronzey, but not too red-Sometimes Teddy seems a bit too-too for me and more of an evening color-for daytime, swipe on some Naked Lunch e/s, some bountiful brown e/l, some nice dark brown mascara, a bit of viva glam V lustre lipstick-perfect daytime look, all year round.

Eyeliner with the BEST staying power!! this is the ONLY eyeliner that doesn't smudge or fade on me (all others ive tried do!). sgd 26 - isn't dirt cheap but neither is it very expensive, and for its excellent staying power, its VERY worth the price!! =D

These PP's really wear well. Bountiful Brown is a brown that has bronze and gold to it, and is very pretty. 30 seconds after I put it on my eyes it is THERE for the day. Also, it goes on extremely well and never tugs on my eyes. PPP neutral-cool, dark hazel eyes, brunette hair

I bought this because of all the great reviews. I've since returned it. The color barely showed up and I prefer a more defined eye than I get with this liner. It did seem to hold up pretty well though.

My fave liner! Despite (or because of) the bronze hue, it looks fantabulous in all seasons. Also brings attention to my brown eyes without screaming "gaudy". Easy to use with many palettes, even pink-undertoned shades of lipglosses. The only drawback is that it always entirely rubs off by the end of the day.

Bought it because of the reviews here. I love MUA more than my old stand by Instyle Magazine product reviews.

Likewise to say, loved the eyeliner. It just makes my brown eyes POP, looks great with a lil black too.
