Urban Decay Glide On Pencil Review

After what seemed like hundreds of recomendations I caved and brought 3 shades of the 24/7 glide on pencils and I'm sad to say they're now relegated to the back of my makeup drawer.

Because of the name and other reviews was expecting great staying power and pigmentation. I definitely got the pigment, the colour payoff is great. But sadly for me, the staying power was terrible.

I find these ultra smudgey. The colour just does not seem to want to stick to my eyes AT ALL!

Will not be repurchasing.

I got a set of these pencils which were a 6 piece mini set. I thought this was a good way to try them out. The mini sizes are about 3/4 of the length of an EOH pencil - so even though they aren't the full size, there is still a heap of product.

The shades I have are Desperation - a brown grey West - a neutral brown with small glitters Apathy - a forest green with a gold sheen Black Market - a deep purple black Riot - a gorgeous deep purple that has a light purple sheen (this is my favourite) Ink - a blue with a purple sheen

All of these pencils are amazingly creamy and can be blended out with a brush or fingers. Once set, however, they do. Not. Move. All day. They aren't waterproof so I don't recommend crying with them on but I have worn these for 14 hours with no movement or breakdown whatsoever.

You sharpen these, which isn't my favourite format as I feel you use product. these are super pigmented and one pass gives a great opaque look. You can layer these on top of each other with no shifting of the product underneath as well.

These are expensive BUT they are amazing. These are easily my favourite pencils (sorry EOH), and I definitely recommend getting your hands on them if you can.

I have this in a black colour & it came with a palette. The pencil is the usual type a full length with black outside a dark greyish black pencil end & a black crayon looking tip. The outside of the pencil has the name of the pencil written in mettalic silver colour & the 24hour is bold. Effects: This pencil is creamy the end of it doesn't look like a pencil as I said it looks like a crayon. It's soft to the skin & lines the water line smoothly. Very easy to use & does glide on. Very pigmented 1 strike thru is enough for bold results. I use it for my corners of my eyes & to do my top waterline. It's not sharp if you stab yourself it's not picky, rather blunt. The colour stays put,the first pencil that I've experienced like this, especially as I apply to my water line, there is no feathering & no build up of product in the corners of my eyes during the day. Which I find other liners have done. A very reliable liner with a smooth finish& feel. Making it nice to work with the tip isn't a sharp pencil kind but it could be more tapered, other then that it's a pigmented & foolproof pencil /liner. I feel like it's not a pencil more a crayon. A very slim crayon as its so smooth & has no wood texture or lead texture to it. It is water proof& requires a bit of effort to remove. Better to call it a liner, not a pencil because doesn't have the pencil effect. I love it.
