Urban Decay Eyeliners – A Wardrobe For Your Eyes

Urban Decay Eyeliners

I’m that person who loves to wear eyeliner & looking over my stash of liners (mostly liquid) they’re 90% black. I don’t feel like myself without a winged liner. I have been wearing eyeliner since I was 15 so that’s 21 years now (cries) I’m obsessed with looking for the perfect liner & I was excited to learn that Urban Decay released some new liners into their range, and I’ve been enjoying them all. I reviewed the Cream Liner here if you’d like to read that. Urban Decay has dubbed this latest release ‘A Wardrobe For Your Eyes‘ which I like, as we like to switch it up and wear certain liners to create specific looks. A girl needs options, right?! Here are my thoughts on their latest releases.

Urban Decay Black Eyeliners

Urban Decay Ink for Eyes Waterproof Precision Eye Pen in Perversion

This is Urban Decay’s felt pen liner has a fancy 360-degree nib which makes applying eyeliner so much easier. This user-friendly ultra fine nib means that even eyeliner novices are able to apply their eyeliner with ease. It allows you to move the nib in any direction without dragging or pulling at the skin, it also means your eyeliner is much neater and looks fab.

This Ink For Eyes is super black and dries to a glossy/shiny finish that won’t budge. Take it from me a girl with oily eyelids once this liner has dried its there until the bitter end. I like how this fine tipped liner is able to create the finest of fine cat flicks to the most dramatic bold lines. It allows you precision and the bold intense Perversion Black colour does not fade throughout the day. If you’re like wearing liquid liner you must give this a go, you won’t regret it.

24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil / All Nighter Eyeliner / Ink For Eyes

24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet

This is Urban Decays more Velvet version of their popular 24/7 pencils. This new formula is a little more powdery and dries to a matte velvet finish. It is still intense in colour even when blended out to create the perfect smoky eye. It’s quite hard to create a precise line with this pencil but if you’re a Smoky Eye fan then you will love the ease at which this applies and needs little work to create that sultry smoky look. It’s soft in texture and you have just enough time to blend it, once blended this 24/7 Velvet liner is there until you decide to take it off. It’s waterproof and very long wearing. So I would say this is the ultimate pencil for creating a soft smoky eye.

This pencil is paraben free and contains Jojoba Oil so it is moisturising & won’t dry out your eyes.

Now, this is seriously intense in colour, I wish I could say that I’m hip enough to have tested this after an all-night party but sadly not. I have however worn it for some long days & have to say this stays put like no other liner. It is bold, and intense in colour & once on the eye, it won’t budge. This is a twist up liner which I like as I always lose my sharpener (OK I’m just lazy), but the packaging is slick and the twist up pencil makes it always to ready to use.

This eyeliner is waterproof and contains moisturising Vitamin E & is also Vegan

I love to wear eyeliner, especially black eyeliner I feel a little odd without it on. My go to weapon of choice is liquid liner, I like the ease of a pen like nib and have mastered my flicks using this method but that was before I discovered this Urban Decay Supersaturated Ultra Intense Waterproof Cream Eyeliner*.

What I like about this Cream Liner is that you can really smudge it out to create a sultry smokey eye look. I thought I’d struggle to get used to applying this, as I’m used to the pen nib and this is applied with an angled brush, but after a few shaky and heavy handed mishaps I got used to the ease at which this applies. It only takes a light hand as the formula is creamy and glides on with no dragging. Perversion is a deep intense black shade, the deep rich colour lasts all day and my gosh does it stay put once it has dried. This is heavy duty. It does take me a little longer to apply than my liquid liner but I think this has more staying power and it can be built up to a more dramatic look so if I have time I do like to use this.

I used the Urban Decay Perversion Angled Brush, the brush is light and easy yo use, it is nicely angled to give ease of application and doesn’t pick up too much product at once which is good for achieving a more subtle look but you can use the brush to build up the product to make the line thicker and more dramatic. The brush is soft to the touch but the bristles are stiff enough to make sure the liner goes exactly where you want it. It’s easy to control how thick/thin the line is and they make a great team. The brush is made of synthetic bristles.

This swatch is just one stroke of the brush, no rubbing or going over & over. It is very intense.

This eyeliner comes in a nice glass pot with a screw lid, its slim and travel friendly but you get a good amount of product in there & boy does a little bit go a long way! This is going to last me a very long time.

Urban Decay say ‘this features triple black pigments for the purest, deepest, most intense black colour’ and I have to say this is the most intense black eyeliner I have used to date. Its as black as night. (Now I am singing Rolling Stones). This eyeliner also contains nourishing Jojoba Oil which is moisturising and makes the liner creamy and easy to apply.

Do you use any of the Urban Decay Eyeliners? If so let me know which ones you would recommend.
