MAC Blooz Eye Kohl
The long-running Unsung Heroes series here on makeup and beauty blog features some of my all-time favorite permanent collection products.
MAC COSTA RICHE: and there she goes! She’s grabbing Blooz, YET AGAIN.
MAC TEDDY: Seriously!? What’s up with that? She was using us every day, and now it’s like she doesn’t even know we exist. All she cares about is Blooz.

MAC COSTA RICHE: Yeah, and it’s giving me a case of the blues.
MAC TEDDY: Haha.
MAC COSTA RICHE: I’m not kidding! I miss being on her water lines…

MAC TEDDY: Ooh!
MAC COSTA RICHE: Let’s make some brownies.
MAC TEDDY: YASSS!
If eyeliners could talk… I bet if Costa Riche and Teddy could talk, they’d be talking mad sh*t about MAC Blooz ($16.50). It’s one of MAC’s sassiest, sexiest dark navy liners, and it’s the only MAC Eye Kohl I’ve been wanting to wear lately.
But let’s back up a little… Cue the falling leaves and jingle bells! *jingle, jingle, jingle*
Wearing MAC Blooz on my water lines
Every December, like clockwork, my eyes freak out, and the only liners I’m able to comfortably wear are the old-school MAC Eye Kohls. The dry, crisp air outside coupled with the dry, warm air inside from the heater, which runs nonstop this time of year, wreaks havoc on my lash and water lines. They practically cry out for moisture and won’t tolerate long-wearing eye products like gel liners that are just too drying.
I wouldn’t say that MAC’s old-school Kohls are moisturizing, but for whatever reason, they don’t bother my eyes in fall and winter when so many other things do. I was all about Teddy and Costa Riche for the past few winters, but now I’ve got the Blooz.
MAC Blooz Eye Kohl
Blooz doesn’t exactly yell “take me home with you!” at the counter, but ooh-la-la! — please, get it on your lash and water lines.
It’s a deep, almost black navy blue with a hint of pearly shimmer (sometimes I swear I can also see purple up in the mix). I’m surprised all the time by how well it goes with so many different eye makeup looks. I wear it typically with everyday brown neutrals, but I think it also looks terrific with silver eyeshadow (fun!), and dramatic smoky blue looks and brown looks, too.
I like what Blooz does for my brown eyes. I think it makes them look richer and more chocolatey, but I bet it would work just as well with hazel, green or even blue eyes.
Just as an FYI, the MAC Eye Kohls have a fairly soft, smudgy texture and formula, so if you’re used to long-wearing liners that set quickly and then last for 16 hours, Blooz might not be for you. That doesn’t bother me, though. I don’t mind having to reapply it once or twice throughout the day.
