By Shumayla A

Hola Amigos!

What’s up? I am, as always, happy-go-lucky. Missing Marley, the Cabitson (that is my brother’s cat by the way) but I have a broad smile on my face looking at my makeup collection. 😀 That being said, I am back with another review. This time, I am reviewing Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade Junkie. Let’s begin.

My Experience, with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Junkie:


Urban Decay 247 Glide-On Eye Pencil Junkie Review Packaging

On my last visit to Sephora, I picked up two eye pencils – one of which I have already reviewed here. I love the green color, so this was a natural choice plus it has golden sparkles which makes it quite festive. With Eid coming, I thought I’d pick up something with a little festive vibe to it.

Packaging: Like all 24/7 Glide-On Pencils by Urban Decay. this one also comes in a pencil form with silver cap and end. The entire pencil is covered with the shade the pencil actually is, which makes it very easy to find it on your dressing table when you are in a hurry. The name of the pencil is printed on the pencil in silver color. The cap shuts tight with a click, which keeps the rather creamy tip from breaking.

Shade: The color of the pencil is deep green with greyish undertone to it. Urban Decay describes it as metallic teal shimmer with micro gold sparkles. Although I am not entirely sure of teal shimmer part. To me, it is more towards deep sea green than teal. It does have gold sparkles in it, nothing too chunky. The color…Holy Heavens! I am in love with it. The whole green eye pencil with gold sparkles reminds me of Colorbar I-Glide Emerald Charm. Actually, the whole pencil reminds me of that one. Make no mistake, it is NOT an exact dupe. Going by experience, I would say this is quite a unique shade. It looks pretty good on my light brown to hazel eyes. I think it would not do much for very dark eyes, on the other hand, for light eyes, it would be the cherry on the cake.

Texture and Staying Power: I have been using this pencil for a week now. I have used it thrice in a week. I am in love with this buttery smooth silky gorgeousness. It applies smoothly; no pulling, no tugging. This is an angel in that regard. It has lasted me for a long time around 6-7 hours with primer and 4-5 without it. It sets really fast as the company claims, so it can be very unforgiving if are not careful. Although it smudges easily when trying to do it on purpose, otherwise it is an obedient fellow, which stays where it is supposed to be exactly after 30 seconds. So, you’ve got to be real quick when creating a smokey eye or trying to soften the look by smudging it. I have watery waterline (does that make sense?) Nothing and I cannot emphasize it enough, nothing has stayed on my eyes for more than an hour at one stretch. Hands down to Urban Decay Glide-On Pencils that have stayed on my waterline for 2-4 hours.

It has never stung my eyes, I do have sensitive eyes. It is sharpenable, which makes it really hygienic but at the same time calls for product wastage, but hey, health before wealth! Pigmentation wise, one swipe and you’re done. (You’ll keep staring at the beauty of your eyes, and someone will come and shake you up. True story!) Of course, you can always build up the color. This shade is amazing and I can use it in a variety of ways. If you have dull sleepy eyes, this will pop open your eyes. Do you have deep-set eyes, and neutrals are not your thing? Apply it as a thick line on your outer corner of the eyes, smudge it and you are good to go. Have you got big eyes, colors make them look even bigger? Put brown eyeliner on the inner three-fourth of eyes and adorn rest with this. Nice light green shimmer without overpowering or making your eyes look even bigger.

My rule of applying colored pencils is pretty simple. Go with your gut, but that might not be true for everyone, or for their eye color. So, the basic rule is to look for shades that are contrasting your eye color. For example, if you have green eyes and have a complexion that compliments it, go for eyeliners which have undertones of red like amethyst or bronze. That being said, this would be best suited from brown to hazel eyes with a touch of brown.
