Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil in Noise

When it comes to eyeshadows I have said it time and time again that Urban Decay are king - creamy textures in every shade and finish you can imagine there's really nothing I can fault. I have just been introduced to the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil's and let me just say that they are everything you could want from a cream eyeshadow and more!

Normally I can take or leave chunky eye pencils they don't sway me one way or the other and that is normally because I find the texture of said pencils to be a little more slippery than your typical potted cream eyeshadow. However that is not the case with the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil but more on that later, the only problem I can see some encountering is the sharpening aspect. Truthfully to get the most from your shadow pencil I do recommend purchasing the Urban Decay sharpener or sourcing a pencil sharpener that is large enough to accommodate the large barrel. While we are on the subject of sharpening the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil's do so with minimal waste and pretty easily too.

If I am being honest Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil in Noise is not my first choice as I can't quite pull off pink eyeshadow in any form but if bright true pinks are your calling look no further. Urban Decays Noise is a bright almost candy toned pink that is sprinkled with tiny flecks of silver micro glitter which does not have a gritty texture which is always important on the delicate eye area. In terms of texture much like the Urban Decay liners of the same name the eyeshadow pencils have a soft and creamy texture which do not pull or tug on the eyelids and provide intense colour pay off that lasts and lasts!

As some may know I have oily lids that can affect the wear time of products but with primer this shade wore for 10 hours without creasing or fading and as this is a pencil you can wear this as a liner, an all over wash of colour or as an eyeshadow base. It is safe to say I am a huge fan and prefer the precision element of the pencil and unlike a potted cream shadow it is much more hand bag friendly not to mention less messy!

I hit the States in less than 8 weeks and newly added to my shopping list are the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil's in Mushroom (the perfect taupe shade), Cowboy (a great nude/highlight option) and Rehab (an everyday neutral). Hey you've got to take advantage of the price difference haven't you?
