As far as packaging goes I do deem the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil to be pretty much faultless, sure some may argue that it may be more convenient and less wasteful if Urban Decay rolled out mechanical pencils rather but as the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil's sharpen so easily there really is no need. That and you never really get a precise point with the mechanical eye pencils, once they have been used a few times they are forever blunt and as a result less precise.

I kid you not when I say it is impossible to narrow down the expansive shade range down to just one favourite - the shade range is just so vast and frankly beautiful. At the moment I am lusting after the shade Roach which is a bright copper shade, almost like a shiny penny and Underground which is a deep shimmery nude. At the moment I have Invasion which is the deepest forest green so deep that it almost veers on black. If you are looking for a matte deep liner that has all the impact of a black shade but slightly softer and dare I say it different Invasion is the way to go. Basically I would deem Urban Decay Invasion to be a blackened green that really makes blue and green eyes pop.

It is no exaggeration to say that Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil's are the softest, creamiest formula I have ever tested - they literally glide on without tugging or pulling and feel light on the skin.
Despite having a creamy formula once set they do not budge so a word to the wise is to quickly blend out if a smoky look is what you are after otherwise you will find it difficult to do so. As someone who suffers from watery eyes due to allergies a.k.a hayfever Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil are a god send, I can apply them to my waterlines or use them on my lids and know that they will stay in place for at least 6 hours. On my lid the wear time is closer to the 10 hour mark when used with a primer which is pretty impressive given my oily skin type. If you are looking for a fool proof liner that will hold its own against sun, sweat or oil look no further than Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil's!
