Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencils

[LionQueen]

So I got my liner set today

I actually got it wrong, I got the Velvet Rope set, not the VIP, but I think I'll be buying the VIP set soon, because um... these pencils are AMAZING! They're so worth the hype.

So I open the package and take them out and swatch them each on my hand, and they're SO pretty. I wait 30 seconds and run a finger over them - and they all smudge! A lot! I'm like WTF?? I thought they weren't supposed to smudge! I was majorly disappointed. So I decided to try them on my eyes anyway - I grabbed a shadow - this probably took 30 more seconds - and decided to rub my finger over the swatches on my hand one more time - and they didn't budge

So I guess, for me anyway, they needed about 1 minute to dry, but that's ok, I can deal with one minute. I am amazed - even when I press down and wipe my finger over the swatches, they still stay. And they're so creamy and easy to put on, and the colors are so pretty... yep, I'm in love. Wouldn't be surprised if I end up getting every single color they make in these. Still gotta do the waterline test, but so far, I'm loving these

I honestly can't bring myself to spend money on Chromalines because I use my more colorful 24/7s for bases, too.

 

[LionQueen]

Yeah I thought that when I swatched them, that they'd make lovely bases.

I love these liners, better than the MAC version, in fact. My daughter and I discovered these a couple of weeks ago when Santa got her some for a stocking stuffer. She liked them so much, showed them to me, and we bought another set. They go on so easily and are smudge-free and long-lasting.

Sadly, even these smudge on my Asian eyes.

They stay on fine on the lid, but the sides of my eyes and the bottom lid become a smudged mess after a little while. I have yet to find a non-liquid liner that does not smudge on my eyes.

i love black (zero) but the others not nearly as much.

have you tried mac powerpoint? i have hooded lids and really have a problem with liner transfer, and powerpoint is the only liner ive tried so far that absolutely does not budge. ive even worn it to bed and it hasnt moved by morning (no, i dont do this regularly or anything).

I ordered the Velvet Rope set last night since I heard such good reviews. All my liners are about 10 years old, some dating back to junior high school... so I figured I should, ahem, get some new ones

If anyone's having problems with sharpening these I'd really suggest buying the UD grindhouse sharpener. It's so much easier to use on them than a normal eyeliner sharper.
Before I got it I had major problems with sharpening them, they always broke, but now it's no problem at all.

uh Covet & Electric is trully wonderful colour, i love them!

this has got to be my favorite line of liners. they're smudgable at first, and then dry and stay put. and they literally "glide on" very easy to apply LOVE IT!

I find that, too!

 

[BloopBloop]

did you try going over it with an eyeshadow or powder to help set it?

did you try going over it with an eyeshadow or powder to help set it? im asian as well and i used to have a horrible issue with this. i use a pencil brush to smudge the liner sideways to remove any excess liner that might find its way where i dont want it, and then go over it with some kind of powder and blend it in. i hope i explained that clearly

This are fabulous! This is the ONLY eyeliner pencil I will buy now. I love the ultra-smooth applicable....almost gel-like feel instead of chalky like a lot of other eyeliners and the pigments are so rich.

I have the Zero and love it. Just bought the Covet for spring and summer... if you want to make the Zero last longer, just use some Blacktie or Carbon on top and it won't budge for days (not on waterline tho!)...

 

[maketotheup]

I really these but I like MACs more. The liners just always break on me and some can be way too shimmery.

 

[MAChostage]

I just picked up a couple of the new pencils in Underground and Flipside. GORGEOUS!!

I do like these liners. I own about 6 or 7 of these colors including Zero (black). They glide on very easily but they do smudge if you use them on your waterline. I still have yet to find any pencil liner that doesn't smudge on my waterline. However, if you were looking for a gel liner that doesn't smudge on your waterline, try Stila smudgepots. Those things stay put! Back to the 24/7 liners, be careful sharpening them because they are very soft and will break very easily. It seems like you run out really quickly too.

 

[MissResha]

they only smudge on me after about....8 or 9 hours, in the outer corners and they fade a lil. but i effing love them. i just hate how terrible they are as far as sharpening goes. i literally save whatever breaks off cuz they're too expensive not to.

oh man, i'm totally in love with these eyeliners... let me tell you, i have VERY sensitive lids and when i used mac kohl eyeliners they would tug very hard at my lid and it hurts... but when i tried on UB's glide-on pencils they literally just glided on my lids...

just out of curiosity has anyone used them as a base color for their eyeshadow??

i actually tried it and the eyeshadow actually packed onto the liner pretty good...
