Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Set 2

Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Collection ($45) is a new limited edition set of Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon Eyeliners that was launched with the Marc Jacobs Beauty Holiday 2014 Collection.

If you’re unlikely to use full size pencils or you just want a selection of the Highliner Pencils in a variety shades versus purchasing a single one this is a nice set to indulge in especially if you’re new to the Marc Jacobs Beauty brand or perhaps even a lover of the brand and just wanting more shades of this great eyeliner.

Take a peek!

Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Kit

The Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Set includes 7 Highliner Gel Crayons, two of which, Midnight in Paris and Sunset, that are exclusive to this set. If you’re a lover of this eyeliner formula it’s always nice to get exclusive shades but on the other hand they are smaller so if you end loving one or both of the exclusive shades you’ll have no way to restock when you’ve used it up! You’ll have to leave it up to the Marc Jacobs gods to re-release that shade at some point and that’s never fun!

The set comes in a hard shell case which you can use for storage. It actually fits several lipsticks nicely or if you want you can create a little makeup kit inside of it by tucking a blush, lipstick, gloss, etc…it’s lightweight and travels nicely as the lid remains snug in place. Or of course, you can leave the eyeliners inside to store them. The packaging is understated and elegant and even though the case is plastic it still has a nice lacquered, expensive look to it.

I already have a few of the full size Highliner Gel Crayons and like them a lot. They are quite long wearing on my drier eyes and remain strong without fading, smearing, or flaking. All the shades in this collection were quite creamy and pigmented but some of full size shades I have aren’t as pigmented as I would like. But there aren’t any issues with this set….all the colors were quite gorgeous. Creamy texture, a hint of a sparkle in some colors, a few metallics, even a perfect creamy black for water lining work.

The liners are a twist up design so no need for a sharpener. One thing that deserves mentioning is the liners are not labeled with their shade name which was a little irritating to me.� Update: The named are located under the cap, just remove it and you’ll find the name located on the top of the barrel after the cap is removed.� Phew!

All and all this is a gorgeous high end eyeliner set perfect for gifting or getting. The Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Set is a nice way to experience Marc Jacobs makeup at a lower cost and in a variety of shades. I realize there will be tons of different eyeliner sets available as we had deeper into the season, many of which will be cheaper with more variety. However, those who prefer more high end makeup will likely adore the Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Set and think it a very nice value!

The Marc Jacobs Beauty The Sky Liner Petite Highliner Set is available now at Sephora.com and www.marcjacobsbeauty.com.

    Oh! I am so happy those got a positive review 🙂
    I ordered then last week but sephora takes forever to deliver in canada so I haven’t received then yet. I hope I like then, I always get the urban decay holiday pencils kit but I was kind of disappointed with the reviews of this year 10 pencils kit and also I didn’t liked the colour selection on the small kit.
    I choose this kit because I was wanting more colour variation, and I love twist pencils because I tend to break my pencils tips when I sharpen then, specially in the summer when they are more soft.
    I am still wanting more colourful pencils then this kit have, do you have any suggestions?
    I am still thinking about the urban decay ten pencils kit but everyone seams to be complaining about their formula and I got the vice 3 and even thought I loved the colour selection the formula is definitely different… solo much powder falling everywhere…
    Tks for the review 🙂

      hi suzana I hope you love them! Sephora has a colorful selection coming out soon! that might be appealing. There liner sets are surprisingly nice 😀 Also Pixi has a nice round of shades (LOVE LOVE their formula way better than UD) and also Milani 😀 I agree, Vice 3 seemed to def have a different formula, no fall out for me thankfully but the formula seemed a little different somehow. my pleasure 🙂 hope you get your set soon and love it!

      • Suzana

        Tks for the tips Muse 🙂
        I will check out pixi and milani, I never tried those brands eyeliners. I think there is a eyeliner kit from sephora now, but the ones I swatched in stores seamed less pigmented and more dry, I hope I can try the kit in the store before buying, I hate to return things…
        How do you find the pixi formula better the UD? I think I will only able to get it online here in Canada… But I will check to see if my target has then…
        Tks again for the attencion 🙂

          • Suzana

            Thats great! I will be waiting for your review then 🙂
            I was going to wait anyway to get he sephora eye kit at the friends and family sale (do you know if it will be in the begining of november like it were last year?)
            I will be checking my target for pixi.
            My marc jacobs skyliner kit finally arrived, I am loving it! In the beggining I didn’t liked that I had to apply 2/3 layers to get the full color but they are very long lasting and now I am liking that I can choose how strong I want the color to be and I am able to do kind of and ombre effect in my eyes if I want to.
            Hope you are having a wonderful weekend 🙂

          • Isabella Muse

            I’m not sure they don’t share the date 🙁 but as soon as I know will def post 🙂 I hope you enjoy these Suzana 🙂 sorry for the delayed reply been so swamped!

    Hi Muse!!!! Do you wear contacts love? I have yet to find a linet to use in my waterline that won’t smudge onto my contacts. Do you know if these would do that? Any suggestions? Thanks love!

    • Isabella Muse

      sorry I don’t Jenny, not sure! I wear glasses for distance when driving but otherwise don’t need them so no contacts 🙁

    • Suzana

      When I wore contacts Jenny (I had laser surgery a few years ago) I found that the way to don’t smuge the contacts was more about techinic then about the pencil. Of course you have to choose a waterproof long lasting pencil, but what I did was that I lined only the outside border of the waterline, if I applyed the eyeliner on the whole waterliner the inside part would smuge the contacts, but if I applyed it only on the outside border of the water liner that didn’t happen.

  • Ashley

    Not to complain, but why do they include black? Black is so boring and basic.
    All the other colors are beautiful, but if its limited edition or holiday, why not make it more unique, because I’m sure everyone already has black eye liner in their makeup bag, the prettiest color out of this set is purple, which there was a teal shade.
    Bought Lunatic earlier this year, its a silvery violet, a very unique shade and won Allure’s best of beauty award this year!

    I ordered a set of these and mine had names on them. The names are just really tiny and located near the base of the caps.
