Urban Decay Glide On Pencil Review

I have these Urban Decay eye pencils in three shades: Stash, Rockstar and Zero. I love that they apply really easily to both the waterline and eyelid and that once they set, they do last well for me. The pencils glide on easily without dragging the skin. The colours are gorgeous also with Stash being my favourite as it’s a warm gold green that makes my hazel eye colour “pop”.

I was really excited when buying this at duty free and bought the black one, but am not fully impressed with it. I found that the pigmentation was definitely there, and it easily glided on, but it definitely wasn't 24/7.

Within 3 hours, it had started smudging, and the liner on my upper lid, had transferred to below my eyes and into my inner corners, giving me the appearance of panda eyes. I love the colour, pigmentation, and formula but it is quite pricey and doesn't stay put. I also feel that it isn't waterproof and is quite a hassle to constantly sharpen. It doesn't sit well in the tightline or waterline.

I would not repurchase unfortunately. :(

I got a mini of this in the shade Whiskey which is just a plain matte brown in my limited edition Rollergirl Urban Decay palette. This eyeliner goes on really creamy but sets and dries quite quickly. I don't have to press hard to get good pigment. I prefer using black for most of my eye makeup looks but brown does give me a softer look on days that I want less of a dramatic look or I use it to dot back on a couple of the prominent brown freckles on my face after I do a full face so it looks more natural. Now the downside about this eyeliner is that I only get about 2-3 hours of wear before it smudges on my lids and because I have monolids imprints. That being said I have really oily lids and the fact that I have monolids mean my eye makeup in general has a harder time staying on and crease-free. I think that someone with less hooded lids would probably get more wear time out of this. This isn't my favorite brand of pencil liner but it definitely has more staying power than some brands I used to own, though I wouldn't say it's long lasting on me. I probably wouldn't buy more. In the meantime it's nice to have an eyeliner that's a good color match for penciling back in my beauty spots because I wouldn't splurge on a pencil specifically for that.
