I recently shared updated photographs and swatches of the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil ($ 22.00 for 0.04 oz.) range, and I thought it was high time to do a recap, which will also include shades reviewed in the less-distant past that are permanent (hopefully, they’ve made quite a few modifications to the core range in the last two years, apparently!).
I’m a long-time fan of the formula, and I regularly use them in looks still (probably a decade now of use!). They’re not quite the longest-wearing formula for me, but they wear long and well enough while being easy to remove. I can also attest to the fact that they don’t dry out quickly over time, either.
Some of the shimmer shades have to be built up or can be overly emollient so they don’t go on as evenly as they should, while a few of the more matte/cream-based shades migrate slightly to the outer corner after eight to nine hours of wear. For the most part, they last a solid nine to 10 hours on me (the point where there’s visible fading/migration/thinning), have semi-opaque to opaque coverage, and are comfortable to work with.
Below, you’ll find the top 40 shades by rating… But as a PS: we recently updated the look and feel of product pages, and you’ll now find top rated and recommended shades of a formula viewable on a formula’s page! ?
