Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils

I had heard a lot of great things about the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils in the beauty community so I knew I had to nab them when I went on my shopping spree in Sephora.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Lucky and Eldorado

I picked up two colours: Lucky and Eldorado. There were some awesome blues and greens that looked great too but I thought since I had not used them yet and wasn't sure of their quality, I had better stick to a couple of colours that were versatile and I could use a lot.

They are for sure, the best eye pencils I have used. The reason I steer towards liquid or gel eyeliners most of the time is that pencil eyeliners usually pull my eyelid as I draw them on which is both uncomfortable and unpleasant to use. Plus they smudge under my eye in a few hours making me look like a raccoon.

However, I wanted to give these a go anyway because if they lived up to their hype, I could use an eyeliner that is less harsh than a gel eyeliner and could give me a softer eye-look.

They did not disappoint. The eye pencil glides across the eyelid, making it easy to use. There is about a 20 second window where you could smudge it out along the eyeline for a softer look, but after that - it pretty much stays put. It doesn't smudge under my eye which is fantastic for me and I love the pigmentation and colours that I chose.

There is some micro-glitter on both these pencils so if you don't like glitter in any form - this might not be for you.

I don't find that they work really well on my waterline though. I've tried putting the eyeliner along my waterline and gently pulling down my lower lid so it has time to set before it has contact with my eyes but it still fades after a few hours. Maybe my eyes are just more watery than others. Other than that, I love this eye pencil and definitely want to invest in some other fun colours.

They are definitely pricey at US 19 each but I do think that they're worth it (considering how many eye pencils I have floating around at the bottom of my makeup bag that I never touch cos they're just rubbish).

Do you like UD Eye pencils?
